it seems to me that Hollywood feel the need to make an English version of practically every big foreign film, even though the original film is usually brilliant (like this one) I can't really remember the last time that Hollywood made a film of their own, they seem to always be remakes or movies based on a book :L The Millennium trilogy is Swedish, written by a Swedish author, therefore the film should be Swedish, and there shouldn't be an American remake.

Thank You Noomi for making Miss Lisbeth seem more real than anything. you're the reason I watch these movies, Plus their great.

I love Noomi. I think she's really awesome in the Millenium Trilogy. The American remake will be a hit just 'cause it's by David Fincher. I like Daniel Craig but I don't think Rooney Mara did as well as Noomi.

@agriss2009 you should really see it. i like both versions. they're both a little different from one another. Rapace's Lisbeth is great, as is Mara's Lisbeth.

I refuse to see this Hollywood version as a form of protest. The Swedish movie is very recent and well done. Surely the actors of the american version are gaining much more attention from the media because of the huge marketing around this new version, the presence of "James Bond", but nothing to do with more talent or originality.

Hoolywod do it just for the money, there`s no need to remaking an excellent movie like the MIllenium series! i hope Hollywood won`t ruin Noomi Rapace`s career

@Isabelx0x ,I m not Swedish but you are right!The Millennium trilogy is Swedish, written by a Swedish author, therefore the film should be Swedish, and there is no need for an American remake!
