Girl with the dragon tattoo trailer
DEBATE is raging over how the trailer for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo got online: was it leaked from a European theatre or did Sony turn a blind eye to create a publicity buzz? The trailer, sort of adults-only with a blink-and-you-miss-it nudity shot, has been racking up visits as word got out.
The trailer for the David Fincher-directed movie assumes knowledge of the Stieg Larsson book series, doing away with traditional narrative and using a series of quick cuts and a Led Zeppelin cover by Trent Reznor and Karen O. But what you can make out is captivating: snow-covered roads, a car accident on a bridge, a bloody-faced Daniel Craig, a hanging body and gripping motorcycle chases. In the story, based on Larsson's bestselling novel, Lisbeth Salander (played by Rooney Mara) is an adept hacker with a photographic memory who joins forces with a journalist, Mikael Blomkvist (Craig), to uncover the truth about a 40-year-old murder. Mara, who also appeared in Fincher's The Social Network as a girl who dumps the Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, beat out a slew of bigger-name actresses to snag the coveted role of the ''goth Pippi Longstocking'' Lisbeth, including Ellen Page and Carey Mulligan.
Posted on SlashFilm.com, this ''red-band'' version - age-restricted due to some nudity - was released in Europe last week. Supposedly leaked, it looks as if it is shot off a theatre screen, but is suspected to be a viral video since the MPAA red-band restrictions only apply in the US. The official green-band trailer will be released worldwide tomorrow.
