Are …you..serious????? You know how long I\’ve been waiting for this? I\’ve read the books (they were decent enugh. SPECIFICALLY the second book was good. But I couldn\’t get into the sweedish films for some reason. Maybe because I just find Rooney mara really attractive or something…) and now they\’re saying there isn\’t going to be a second one!? *roles into a little ball and dies* :(((((.

P.S: I hope the new book with the different author goes well.

The Millennium Series could get a reboot from scratch a few years from now.

Ugh, I\’m so, so tired of hearing people go on about the Swedish films. The first one is competent, nothing more. Rapace gives a brilliant performance for the ages, it\’s true. However she\’s not playing the character as described in the books, but a garish, drag imitation of her. Mara\’s performance is 1000x closer to the Lisbeth of the novels. The second Swedish film is by a different director, and is almost unwatchable in its TV-movie level mediocrity. People lavishing praise on the Swedish versions just want to sound superior. Fincher\’s film is made with more technical skill than the first Swedish film (no shock), and has a clearer, superior script that is also far more faithful to the novel (the Swedish film leaves out the finale, or what Fincher called "act five"). I\’ll take his film over the much-vaunted Swedish one any day.

Quite a few did not see the American version because they felt Noomi Rapace, in the original Swedish film adaptations, was the definitive Lisbeth Salander.

In response to Jason, no matter how talented Fincher is (and i\’m a huge fan) there\’s no escaping the fact that the Swedish version with Noomi Rapace is much, much better than the US remake.

Snarky response #1:

You\’re right. In fact, if you want to see the book, read it.

Snarky response #2:

I\’d definitely prefer to settle on the one made by the guy who did Dead Man Down.

The American remake was unneeded and certainly any sequels are just a waste of time. Nothing can surpass the original three Swedish releases of this trilogy. Still highly recommend for those who wish to see these books on film.

I think any sequels being done by David Fincher is certainly not going to happen. Unless Fincher took a drastic pay cut. But it\’s never to soon to call a potential franchise "dead".
There\’s a fourth book in the series coming out this August. If that does very well in sales I would not be surprised if "The Girl Who Played With Fire" suddenly becomes a must-make feature.
