![]() ![]() Whether it was the fact that the original film trilogy had subtitles, which people simply couldn't be bothered reading, I don't know, but it's a shame that the big flashy US remake got all the glory the original films/actress to play Salander should have. Quite unfairly, she never scored an Oscar nomination (which I think she *should* have), nor did these original films receive all the praise that the US remake got. She did all the hard work/heavy lifting, bringing this character to life onscreen for the first time. Sadly, not enough people were first introduced to the character of Lisbeth Salander through Noomi Rapace's unparalleled performance, setting the standard by which all other portrayals should be compared. The only 'remake' so far has been the 2011 version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. This new movie starring Claire Foy is the first film adaptation of the new series of books. Since then, another author (David Lagercrantz) started writing a new series of books continuing the story on from the third book (as the original author, Stieg Larsson, had passed away). In 2011 came the US remake of the first film. The three movies were re-released on DVD with the extra stuff added back in and these became the 'Extended Versions' of the films. In 2010 there was the Millennium TV mini-series, which was a compilation of the three Swedish films with extended scenes/more stuff added back in. There were movie versions of each released in 2009 starring Noomi Rapace. The original book trilogy (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest) were written by Stieg Larsson. ![]()
