| RE: Why?? Why?? Why??!! |
I have mixed feelings about this. I really liked the Sweedish trilogy and thought the actors did a fantastic job, but it did seem a little "televisual". I'm a massive Fincher fan and every frame of his trailer could be hung on a wall but I don't know how necessary these remakes are. More

| RE: Red Band Dragon Tattoo Teaser Leaks |
As much as I enjoyed the three Swedish films, let's be honest, they were a TV series strapped together to make some movies, and the actors were being Swedish to the point of choked constraint, i.e. wooden as my coffee table from Skandium! Whether you like it or not, subtitled films don't draw in the crowds and with Hollywood money and better framing, lighting (the Swedish films were terrible), and actors, it should be a good remake as long as they remain true to the novel. People have whinged a More

fukin americans........
Yeah, because subtitles are so popular in the UK. Give it a rest.
I'm an American who saw all three of the Swedish films (as millions of other Americans have - and the second and third were mediocre at best, btw) and I'm tired of being "fukking" stereotyped.
I am no fan of remakes, whether the original films are foreign or my favorite American classics from the 70's, but with David Fincher behind the lens these films deserve a More

The original Swedish film was mediocre at best. From a classic book they drained all the excitement and produced a run of the mill thriller. Normally I have no time for US remakes of foreign films but this teaser trailer already offers more than the original. Daniel Craig???????

The locations look the same as it is being filmed in the same/similar locations.
I will go against the grain and say that the film is welcome and it is required. The book is a modern classic, the original Swedish version is just OK, it is nowhere near being a 4 or 5 star film. Had it not been for a good performance from Rapace (hardly Brando in The Godfather though) I doubt it would have made any impact.
An English version is welcome because the book has the potential for a classic fi More

I can't argue with your reasoning TheMachine.
As you stated it's just a minute of flash-cuts, and obviously you can't judge a book by its cover (pun only semi-intended), but I am only agreeing with most other comments when say it could easily be a trailer for the original.
As more video is released and thorough review in this fine publication is printed it may convince me. However, at the moment I remain unsold.
Will have to search for this 'W' magazine of which you speak. More

Forget that it's David Fincher for just a minute and watch the trailer with fresh eyes. Whilst I agree it's a fantastic piece of marketing it does look very, very similar to the original film. Some of the images look exactly the same. For two directors to visually interpret the source material in such a similar fashion is something of a minor miracle.

This looks very good.
Wish people would stop labelling it a 'remake', as far as I'm aware he studios or director involved have never to referred to it as such, it's just a seperate adaptation in the same way that the Cens' True Grit was a new adaptation of the book and not a remake of the John Wayne film. The source material for this film is the novel not the Swedish adaptation

1:11 in the youtube trailer...is that Salander in London wearing the blond wig?
Looks like theyre going to end it properly in this version at least...which is awesome. The end of the Swedish version really left a bad taste in the mouth...sorta skipped out a lot of the story very annoyingly :0
Looks awesome...hope Fincher gets to do the second book and doesnt skip out freaking police bits e Swedish verison did too...which was like half the book.

I was hoping for a different take on the story. Not completely different, but enough to warrant me seeing this one having already seen the originals but as previously stated this looks like a complete carbon copy.
Count me out!
on't know how you can come to that conclusion based on a minute of flash-cuts.
Looking at /link] they reckon that:

| RE: |
While I agree that this is a really stunning trailer and that David Fincher is an incredible filmmaker, I am slightly worried that this movie is just going to turn out to be a carbon-copy of the original.
It's okay people saying "it's not a remake, it's based on the original books!" but so was the original. It's still a new version of a story we've already seen done very well. As someone else pointed out, the original movie is quite Fincher-esque anyway so it's difficult to see what he's More

That is a kick ass trailer and a storming cover of Immigrant Song, it's been going round and round in my head all weekend.
Also while The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo had some nice qualities the other two films were pedestrian as fuck so this is hardly sacred ground. If Fincher's on his game, and there's no reason to expect he wont be, we could be in for a real treat.

Have to agree this is looking pretty stylish already. I loved the books but felt the original films were average, but were lifted by the amazing central performance from Noomi Rapace. The film could be made better, and if anyone can pull it off, I think Fincher can. I would not however like to be in Rooney Mara’s position, she has got a big pair of biker boots to fill. More

How long until the first smug 'doesn't look a patch on the original' comment?
This looks visually amazing, great casting too. I'm impressed. The first one is OK when you take the tiny budget and slim post-production into account (also some terrible casting aside from the lead and poorly adapted characters such as Erika) but by the Holywood standards I didn't think so. This looks like Barcelona at their best as opposed to Gothenburg at their best, if you can forgive the football analogy. More
