“The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”: casting the new film version

/ Film / By Mary Daniels Brown / July 27, 2010

Marjorie Kehe is reporting on The Christian Science Monitor‘s book blog that Daniel Craig has signed to portray Mikael Blomkvist, the male protagonist, in the Hollywood version of Swedish author Stieg Larsson’s book The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Meanwhile, the search continues for the film’s Lisbeth Salander. The movie is scheduled for release on December 21, 2011.

After seeing the Swedish films of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played with Fire, I just wish Hollywood would leave Larsson’s Millennium trilogy alone. The Swedish versions will be hard film acts to follow.

My mother always insisted that, as soon as I was old enough to sit up, she’d find me in my crib after my nap babbling away, with a Little Golden Book on my lap. I’ve had my nose in a book ever since. I grew up in a small town, with the tiny town library literally in my backyard. As an only child in an unhappy home, I found comfort and companionship in books. As an adult I wanted to be Harry Potter, although I admit I’m more Hermione. My life has been a series of research projects. Reading has taught me that human lives are deliciously messy and that “it’s complicated” isn’t a punchline.
