The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo: New Trailer Released!

By Larry Yepez Jr

A new trailer of the  long-awaited English-language film version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has just been released...finally! This is is the first film based on Stieg Larsson’s literary blockbuster, the Millennium Trilogy.

This film is based on the first novel in the trilogy, which  have sold 50 million copies in 46 countries and has become a worldwide phenomenon.  The same is expected of the movie!

The synopsis:

Harriet Vanger, a scion of one of Sweden’s wealthiest families disappeared over forty years ago. All these years later, her aged uncle (Christopher Plummer) continues to seek the truth. He hires Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig), a crusading journalist recently trapped by a libel conviction, to investigate.

Blomkvist is aided by the pierced and tattooed computer prodigy Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara). Together they tap into a vein of unfathomable iniquity and astonishing corruption.

TGWTDT is directed by the two-time Academy Award nominee David Fincher, and the screenplay adaptation was done by Steven Zaillian, writer of American Gangster, Schindler's List and Hannibal. The cast is also very solid with leads like Mara and Craig.

Even though it's a dark  and edgy film, I smell Oscars all over it!  The movie is scheduled to hit theaters December 2011.
