My last blog post on this subject of so much interest around the world was exactly a year ago, December 20, 2012, titled, Today, Stockholm is T minus 21 days -and yes I'm counting!; Some Swedish homework of mine to make my trip go well includes reviewing grammar and re-watching the original films in Swedish based on Stieg Larsson's Millennium crime fiction trilogy, starring Noomi Rapace & Michael Nyqvist

I thought I'd have plenty of time to take the Milennium tour when I was in Stockholm in mid-January, but I didn't. :(

New theatrical trailer for David Fincher's 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' is out, and it reveals lots of intriguing clues about his approach


Columbia Pictures/MGM video: 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' Theatrical Trailer. Starring Daniel Craig, Rooney Mara, Stellan Skarsgård, Christopher Plummer, Joely Richardson and Robin Wright, directed by David Fincher, screenplay by Steven Zaillian, opening December 21st in the U.S.

This new theatrical trailer is certainly very good news for those of us who have been closely following the latest news and developments with the new English-language film adaption of Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, slated to open December 21st.

I say that because while it was very effective, the previous trailer, which I have posted here previously and below, was more atmosphere and question marks than hints for those out there who've never read the book or who seen the Swedish version of the first of the trilogy, Män som hatar kvinnor, ("Men who Hate Women") that starred Noomi Rapace as enigmatic Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Nyqvist as savvy journalist Mikael Blomkvist, the roles to be assumed by Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig under director David Fincher.


Over the next three months, I'll be posting things I see, read or hear here or overseas about the film to keep you apprised of what's what.

My last post on the film and the trilogy, with lots of videos and some Swedish material you probably haven't seen, was on June 2nd, titled, Trailer & news re David Fincher's version of Stieg Larsson's 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,' starring Daniel Craig & Rooney Mara; opens Dec. 21st.
