While it’s possible that David Fincher’s version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo will forever be more closely associated with that pulsing, hypnotic teaser scored with Trent Reznor and Karen O’s cover of Immigrant Song, Sony was always going to need to release a more comprehensive promo to get some of the plot across. And it’s now online for your viewing pleasure – take a look below.
For the three people who still don’t know what’s going on here, Daniel Craig stars as investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist, a man reeling from legal action after his latest subject sued the pants off him. He’s approached by Henrik Vanger (Christopher Plummer), patriarch of a family with some very deep and very dark secrets. Vanger wants Blomkvist to investigate the decades-old murder of young Harriet Vanger, a case that is slowly driving him nuts.
Vanger recommends that Blomkvist works with ace computer hacker/researcher Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara), a distinctly unconventional young woman with serious issues of her own. Together the pair digs into the mystery and starts to realise that it’s even more complicated than they thought…
It frankly seems unfair that we have to wait until December 26 to see this, but it’s true! Call it a late Christmas present.
