Quoth Anne Thompson:
But all that to say that David Fincher has just signed Rooney Mara - about to be on screens starring in his The Social Network - as Lisbeth Salander in his upcoming English language version of Stieg Larsson's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. On the plus side for Mara, she was one of the only good things in the recent Nightmare On Elm Street remake. On the negative side, she was in the Nightmare On Elm Street remake and a cat in a bag could have looked like a good actor in that given what it would be compared to.
There's some hyperbole for you, Thompson! Hah!
I know I can get enthusiastic with the best of them from time to time but, really? That would make this the second most important and waited for female role in the entire history of cinema. And that's kind of silly, really."In many ways this has been the most anticipated casting announcement since Scarlett O'Hara landed Gone with the Wind."

I must be the only person on Earth who isn't going nuts about this adaptation. I thought the movie was okay and the book was pretty good but there is a frothing, lunatic mob that is waiting with baited breath for news related to Fincher's version of the movie.
Damn she's too pretty for the part, Yo-landi Vi$$er would have been a better choice.
Never seen her in a film, just know her from her sister, Kate. Anyway I might be the only Twitch critic who has yet to see the films.
I'm also reading reports that say the film is set in Sweden still with people speaking English with Swedish accents... sounds like the most expensive dub ever.
