Stieg Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo went through my family quicker than Swine Flu. Perhaps it was because it was well written, or that my family is part Swedish and all the pain and misery made us long for our cold homeland. We liked it so much that we bought the Swedish versions of the trilogy and talked about how disappointed we were they were making an American version. That is, until we heard David Fincher was at the helm of (at least) the first one.

In preparation for the upcoming American version, the production company has put together an amazing “Hard Copy” video aimed to look like a mid-80’s VCR recording. It’ll get you up to speed quickly on the story, and will leave die-hard Lisbeth Salander fans drooling for more. Also check out the expertly edited 8-minute long trailer to get a sense of the film.
