WOW, this is terrific news!
Hi everybody, sorry for having been out of the loop for a couple of months
I was just browsing through the news bits when I saw that he might actually be playing Mikael Blomqvist... this is a dream come true!
And to think that my very first post in this forum was about which movie role we would like to see him play, and I wrote that he would be absolutely perfect as Stieg Larsson's lead male character... Darn, God exists!
Daniel in my imagination has always been ""Kalle Fu#*ing Blomkvist" (as Lisbeth calls him). Indeed, when the first movie was released I was utterly disappointed by Michael Nyqvist, the Swedish actor who impersonated Blomkvist. Even though he delivered outstanding performances in previous movies (e.g. "Together" and "As it is in Heaven") he totally failed to translate Blomkvist's ruthlessness and very distinctive sex appeal... Daniel surely won't!
Elaine, I know Carrie Mulligan only from "Brothers", where she was excellent, but to me any female actress will hardly compare to Noomi Rapace, who just was and still is "the" Lisbeth Salander for many of us, Millenium fans. But I might change my mind...
JEC, if you haven't done it yet, you must read the whole Millenium trilogy... now! You'll be hooked in a minute and you'll be reading the three volumes back to back! Surely not a major piece of literature, but a very intriguing crime epic story with the most original, compelling, conflicted, and memorable two protagonists we have seen in decades in mainstream fiction!
Beg to moderators: will you open a separate thread for this new project once it is confirmed? Please? Pretty please?
I agree. I am hoping Daniel will get the part, he seems to be natural for the part. As I read hte book I was visulizing him as Blomkvist before it was evern a thought he could be in contention.
We hve to keep our fingers crossed.
But 4 movies, do you think it will fly with him? (Daniel)
