If you've read a book in the last year, chances are it was one of Stieg Larsson's Millenium Trilogy, the insanely popular series of Swedish crime novels that has taken the world by storm. Well, the first of the books has been adapted for the screen, and now The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo has a new poster to premiere right here.
The story, for those of you who don't read, focuses on two characters. Investigative reporter Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) has been convicted of libel and, his career in ruins, accepts an offer from a wealthy recluse to write a family history. Researcher and computer hacker Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) agrees to help him - but her troubled past means that she has more serious problems than merely sorting through family records.
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is out on March 12 here in the UK, followed by The Girl Who Played With Fire on September 10 and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest on November 5. None of these should be confused with The Girl With The Pearl Earring, which has much less computer hacking, or My Girl, which has considerably less crime.
