As the 26th December creeps every closer the more excited I get for the release of David Fincher's remake of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

It may not be the traditional Christmas movie but the movie from the Oscar nominated filmmaker has been promising much for months.

The movie sees Daniel Craig return to the big screen as he takes over the role of journalist Mikael Blomkvist, this has the potential to be one of his best performances.

And the film looks set to send Rooney Mara's star rocketing as she is set to play heroine Lisbeth Salander.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is the first movie for Fincher since the huge success of The Social Network and while he feels this movie may be overlooked come Oscar season some are tipping it for a couple of nominations.

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.

This unlikely pair form a fragile bond as they dig into the sinister past of this family and find out just how far they're prepared to go to protect themselves - and each other.
