"I think Natalie Portman should play Lisbeth. She looks like her physically"

no, salander is androgynous, small and definitely not a hot jewish girl. an american adaptation simply can't work, since many story elements are rooted in swedish (fashistic) historical events and take reference to them.

I watched Noomi Rapace opening night in the UK. It honestly was one of the best female performances of the last decade. It's not going to be topped!According to IMDb Mulligan is 5'7, that's too tall for Salander. She's a great actress but I can't see her as Lisbeth.

My fingers are crossed for 5'1 Ellen Page. Hard Candy is Salander all over. Fincher gets a big thumbs up. If not then The Coens Bros. who have experience with adpating No Country.

ugh, this film was soooo awful and overrated.

Please CAREY STAY WAY!!!!!!!! She is too good for this, I want her working with Ang Lee, Jane Champion, not this kind of crap.

I am sorry but not Carey for this movie! She is not the right person for the role. Kristen Stewart or Ellen page are the only two I can see for this remake. I know Carey is the hot thing now ( and she is great) but not for everything.

I think Natalie Portman should play Lisbeth. She looks like her physically and i think she can pull off the personality kind of like Alice in Closer. Carey Mulligan seems too cute.
===================

Thats actually a funny observation, since A LOT of people didnt want Portman for the role in Closer because they thought she was too sweet and cute for the stripper role.

I like the idea of Kristen Stewart, not gonna lie. But I dont see the problem with they casting Mulligan, if Dakota Fanning played a drugie rocker in Runaways, why cant Mulligan play a punk lesbian?

For Lisbeth Salander how about Ellen Paige or Christina Ricci?
Hell I would even go for Stewart over Mulligan. Glad this is only the studios choice but I am with Charli – give it a while before you remake it.

Yeah, that casting's terrible. Maybe Liam Neeson as Blomvuist. Stewart might work as Salander, but definitely not Mulligan.

Now here is a category that needs to be protected from remake. Foreign films. It is getting to the point that Hollywood is making their 'English" versions on top of the overseas ones and before long we'll have the two battling each other in same day releases. This is particularly annoying when it's also a book adaption of non American material. Does Hollywood think us so Xenophobic that we won't watch something, even dubbed, that doesn't star the white bread flavor of the month. That they can't handle letting them foreigners have 3-4 years to soak up the love before even thinking about a new version.

And sorry, I've read the books, Lysander isn't some cute awkward geek. She's a ragtag, street punk, Parkour type. As much as I dislike the whole "cast Kristen Stewart and get the Twihards" knee jerk that seems to be going around, she's at least physically closer to the character. Find someone with that look and Carey's talent and you might have a winner.

Terrible idea, mostly because the new movie coming out (review next week) is terrible.

"Already adapted into an award-winning Swedish language trilogy"

It won an Audience award. The Critics didnt exactly rave over it.

Fincher 's choice is too obvious here and i don't see Clooney and Mulligan in the roles(Nomi Rapace was very good)
