His screenwriting work includes “The Falcon and the Snowman” (1985), “Schindler’s List” (1993), “A Civil Action” (1998), etc.<br /><br />David Fincher as director is an interesting choice, too, and a good one if he demonstrates the artistry and edginess of “Se7en.”<br /><br />Niels Arden Oplev set the bar for excellence with “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo,” and I just hope the English version treats it as well.<br /><br />Mark m.maurin@comcast.netMMaurinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092896937378008547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-485024529736067754.post-4028523708008257462010-08-09T00:28:42.892-06:002010-08-09T00:28:42.892-06:00Humph, Daniel Craig.

I believe she would be able to walk in the footsteps of Noomi Rapace.<br /><br />Mark m.maurin@comcast.netMMaurinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092896937378008547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-485024529736067754.post-59235093693615791632010-07-07T21:45:41.940-06:002010-07-07T21:45:41.940-06:00Thanks, Mark, I was actually alerted to this one f...Thanks, Mark, I was actually alerted to this one first by Eva Gabrielsson, who was mightily amused, as were we here at the soon-to-be-resurrected Fjord Press, which will be publishing for the Kindle soon.

Haha, never thought that recom would come from your end of the world.<br /><br /> (He is a talented actor, though... gotta give him that)<br /><br /> I guess my only and major concern with the Hollywood-version is how true to 'Larsson's spirit' it will be... it's not just a book about a kewl bi-Goth girl with an axe. If they go for that as Angle numero Uno it'll be a study in disaster.<br /><br /> But hey - one's got to be an optimist, right? :)<br /><br /> Stay well over there<br /><br />Chris - from the other side of the pond<br /><br />----<br />sallysfriends.net - if you ever tell her, she's gonna kick your a** :)Christopher Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03077904474530085769noreply@blogger.com
