Behind the Screen: Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

I've read the trilogy and watched this film This film is really well made, it's a good story and they casted the right people for the right roles. I think a remake will take away the magic of the film...

while Daniel Craig would be a good fit for Mikel Blomqvist, the true issue will be casting someone who can handle the role of Lisbeth Salander so effectively as Noomi Rapace...

Saw this on Friday night. It is the Swedish film based off the first book in the trilogy. It was certainly subtitled and definitely not for children. If you get the chance to see this, do so. It is an excellent film and the fact that I had read the book didn't matter. I knew what was going to happen but I was still very engrossed in the film. Hollywood wants to remake this but I doubt they will do it justice. Here's the International Trailer: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (Män som hatar kvinnor) International Trailer - Trailer Addict It is subtitled so watch closely.

I agree ... while Daniel Craig would be a good fit for Mikel Blomqvist, the true issue will be casting someone who can handle the role of Lisbeth Salander so effectively as Noomi Rapace. There is only one I can think and that's Natalie Portman. Hollywood needs to leave this alone and let people marvel at a film that Hollywood would never make nowadays.

I'm currently reading the book...then I'll watch the movie, and get to the rest of the books. I'm about 275 pages in and i LOVE it so far. It's doing a nice "slow-build" sort of thing, and I have really good expectations about how the story will continue to unravel. So far, I don't even have any theories! No spoilers please ;)

I read the book this summer for my book club and we all loved it! If you like it so far you will definitely like the rest of it. I actually just watched the movie this week and I thought it was really good. It was definitely one of the better adaptations I've seen and even as a standalone movie for people who hadn't read the book it's very good and engaging trying to work everything out. Enjoy!

My friend (who had no idea that it was a book first) was like: "You're reading a MOVIEBOOK!?" and I was like - dude it was a book first! haha what a dummy. I'm hoping to read more on my lunch break! I can't wait to get deeper into it.
