To say that I am excited about the release of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo would be a bit of an understatement as this is a movie that I have been looking forward to seeing since I heard that David Fincher was attached to the project.

It doesn’t seem like five minutes since the Swedish movies were gracing the big screen but the American version looks set to be just as good as Fincher has brought together a great cast.

Daniel Craig has teamed up with Rooney Mara as Mikael and Lisbeth and they are joined by Robin Wright, Christopher Plummer and Stellan Skarsgård.

Harriet Vanger disappeared off the secluded island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger family. There was no corpse, no witnesses, no evidence.

Nearly forty years later a journalist by the name of Mikael Blomqvist gets an unusual assignment. He’s contacted by Harriet’s uncle, Henrik Vanger, who wants him to find out what really happened to Harriet.

Mikael takes on the job, with help from mysterious biker girl and computer hacker Lisbeth Salander.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is released 26th December. Take a look at some pics from the movie:
