I honestly don't understand why Hollywood feels the need to make an American version of this film. The Swedish production is outstanding. However, I re-watched Casino Royale and am very interested to see Daniel Craig play the role of Mikael Blomkvist. :)<br /><br />Lisa - I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I know I'll watch the U.S. production just out of curiosity.<br /><br />Andi - Me, too, but I'll still watch it (on dvd).<br /><br />Herschelian - No offense at all. I think a lot of us are surprised that Hollywood has decided to remake this fabulous film. And as you said, the subtitles weren't difficult to read one bit.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-85732180482604370152010-08-27T06:46:57.925-07:002010-08-27T06:46:57.925-07:00I don't mean to offend, but why does the US fi...I don't mean to offend, but why does the US film industry always think they have to remake everything? So many great European or British films have been remade into inferior Hollywood versions. The Swedish films of the Steig Larsen trilogy are absolutely true to the books and do not dumb down or prettify any of the characters, and even as a non Swedish speaking viewer I found them really easy to watch, you hardly needed the sub-titles.Herschelianhttp://herschelian.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-51536884763796826072010-08-23T08:26:28.570-07:002010-08-23T08:26:28.570-07:00I LOVED the Swedish version, so I'm actually a...I LOVED the Swedish version, so I'm actually a little sad that they're making an English-language version.Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220718933942181809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-88859957445715557452010-08-22T18:21:08.377-07:002010-08-22T18:21:08.377-07:00I haven't read the book yet but have read enou...I haven't read the book yet but have read enough reviews to think the same thing as Nan. Since I'm not sure how her actual physical appearance matches up, I can only go with the impression I have of this character being a much tougher chick than this little girl.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-68942427843037077142010-08-22T06:46:59.402-07:002010-08-22T06:46:59.402-07:00She looks too sweet.
Again, I just don't know...She looks too sweet.<br /><br />Again, I just don't know why they are remaking it so soon after the original hit the theatres. It may flop badly. I didn't go near the remake of Brideshead Revisited since it was perfect, perfect on television with Jeremy Irons. I have to say, that I love the Kenneth Branagh Wallander series - but then again, we in the States aren't able to get the original Swedish shows. Tattoo is a different situation.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-32744694654197750112010-08-21T08:59:45.796-07:002010-08-21T08:59:45.796-07:00Staci - The Swedish film was a bit gritty, but I k...Staci - The Swedish film was a bit gritty, but I knew what to expect since I'd read the book. I'm anxious to see the second film once I can get it on Netflix.<br /><br />Pam - He's doing much better! He took the week off and has been taking it easy. I think he was surprised that the surgery wiped him out for as long as it did. We're very glad it wasn't worse than it was. 3 days in the hospital was long enough.<br /><br />Thanks for asking. <br /><br />Bellezza - I'm listening to the second one and LOVIN' it!!! I think that's going to be my plan here on out for the long books. Otherwise, I'd be reading one book for the entire month.<br /><br />BTW, I rode my bike today for the first time in months! Felt great! Wish you lived nearby so we could ride tomorrow.<br /><br />Jenclair - My husband and I really enjoyed it, but be forewarned; it's a bit gritty, as you can well imagine.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-73154046433667049532010-08-21T08:03:21.812-07:002010-08-21T08:03:21.812-07:00I'm waiting for the Swedish version of The Gir...I'm waiting for the Swedish version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo from Netflix now.
