THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO news and tidbits

Steven Soderbergh is a name that comes up in discussions who maybe direct if Dincher doesn't do it.
Apparantly Sonderbergh is a close friend of Fincher and he was the first who saw the raw cut of Tattoo. Fincher asked for his opinion.

That's what I read somewhere , no idea whether it is true, though

Yeah I too read that in GDT Imdb, no idea if true... at least I have heard and seen some movies he has done. Apart from the Ocean series, has he had any big hit?
He probably might make it cheaper for them though. Maybe at this point Sony just wants to finish the series without spending too much.

In a way I am ok with diff directors as DC will get a chance to work with some good directors he hasn't worked with before

It might also depend a bit on how much love the film will have gotten in the end - awards wise and else, but if not, often things work out for the best, when we think its bad.

They will only give this to another great director, who will make something different with it, which might be a plus. People might be more interested in seeing, how the next film differs from the Fincher one. With Fincher, you now know, what you might get, with another, you don't. Give it a bright side.

Good they are doing more promotion. But I think, they are both bored out of their minds by now. Good Daniel has an excuse - he did his share.

Craig's performance, regardless of his atypical character role, is outstanding.

I read one comment there that said the other 2 could be done PG13. That is not a bad idea imo. That way they can boost the BO. As far as I remember there was nothing graphic sexual or otherwise in the next 2. There is violence as in murder which is PG13 stuff. Someway somehow some desperate teens would have seen GDT by then. So the rest they can see without restrictions. Will end up better if PG13.

The highly anticipated American adaption of Stieg Larson’s Millennium series has finally breached the states with astounding and impressive results. Contrary to my online critics’ opinions, the film was, simply and understatedly put, vicious.

Rooney has awed audiences across the nation with her witty and brutal performance. Daniel, though not nearly as sinister, also proved to be impressive as journalist Mikael Blomkvist.

As impressive as they both were, it wasn’t their seriousness that made me smile.* It was the cutesy things they did.

For instance, Lisbeth had a tendency to walk into rooms and say, “Hey, hey” whenever she was nervous or suspicious.

Mikael’s whining about being shot also made me giggle. As painful as being grazed by a bullet must be, I couldn’t help but laugh when he would utter things like, “Ow, dammit, it hurts.” Of course it hurts, silly, you’ve been shot.

I also loved the way Lisbeth would stare at people. Some one would say something to catch her attention, and she would just stare at them in disbelieve or as if they were stupid. Her asking permission to kill Martin at the end was also precious. It shouldn’t have been, but it was.

The fact that Mikael took care of the cat (poor, poor kitty) was adorable. He just looked like a little hipster with his coffee, tortoise shell glasses, scarves, and kitty.

*except when Lisbeth got her revenge on Bjurman, because that wasn’t a dildo, it was a velvet rope post.

It is sad. He might be one of those people who has to always be doing something new and different. Elevenstar, your avi - she looks just like a china doll, doesn't she? Beautiful.

Fincher's just so appropriate for this kind of movies

ofc potentially it could be interesting to see what another director could do with the material. Smb is suggesting Boyle or Paul Greengrass.
It could be def interesting but Im too afraid of what they've done to the books. I dont want a drastic change even if its to put Lisbeth forward. I loved that they communicated via Mike's laptop. The way she distanced herself was believable & made me on the edge while waiting for them to meet again etc

yeah Rooney is a doll

She looks elvish & soooo beautiful & fragile aww. Cant wait for Malick's movie with her & Ryan Gosling

& lol about Darren Aranofsky

it would be hilarious if he actually agreed to shoot it

he's a professional so Dan/Rachel shouldnt be an issue for him

The 26-year-old Girl With the Dragon Tattoo actress and Felicity, 28, who starred in Like Crazy, were both honored with the Breakthrough Performance Award.

Dragon Tattoo, which Rooney premiered the day before in Rome, was also named one of the 10 best films by the National Board of Review!

reports from NBR

Breakthough Performance winner Rooney Mara sang praises of her "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" director David Fincher, despite him urging her not to do so via email a few hours earlier

http://www.indiewire.com/article/rosie- ... eview-gala

Plummer then returned to the stage, this time as a presenter of one of the night's two best breakthrough performance awards to his The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo co-star Rooney Mara, who is widely regarded as being on-the-bubble for a best actress Oscar nomination. Mara's standing in the minds of many attendees was boosted immensely by both Plummer's uncharacteristically gushing introduction ("She recently burst upon the scene with a force Joan of Arc would have envied... with a fearlessness and courage I have not seen in a hell of a long time") and her own eloquent, humble, and heartfelt acceptance speech ("I'm more nervous about standing up there than I was about anything I had to do in the movie; I don't know if you've seen the film, but that's saying a lot").

I feel if Fincher wouldn't return to Millennium there have to be some weighty reasons, not just him being very interested in a new project. There was many interviews indicated that he actually wanted to make franchise for adults and even his plans how to shoot them. I'm still hoping that he is onboard.

There is one:

FINCHER: I would be most sad if people went, “Eh,” and they didn’t make the second or third one. Second most sad would be to not be asked back. We’ll see what happens . . .

http://www.interviewmagazine.com/fashio ... her/#page4

Interesting - Fincher says that he actually doesen't do as many takes as people like to think and "I’m going to find out exactly what our average number of takes was."

And in the end the editor adds:
[Editor’s note: The average number of takes for any scene on The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was seven.]

But maybe it includes some shots of background exteriors and landscapes.
