That thread was orginally for the Orginal forgien film, but everyone has posted news on the Fincher remake in there

[jvince]

I haven't seen the original, but I trust in Fincher. He hasn't made a bad movie yet. I wonder though if it will be a hard-R like the original or watered-down like most Hollywood remakes.

[GunRanger]

Because Fincher does watered down?

The screentests were with the dildo raping scene

[Member-115369]

Yeah, I can't see Fincher watering it down. If anything I'd expect it to be a harder R than the orginal version.

Watered down? Have you seen Se7en?

Yes, I have seen Se7en. But I was referring to the strong sexual scenes in the original. Hollywood tends to tone down/exclude sex, rape, and nudity.

[Gamma_Winstead]

The audition for this film was the dildo scene... So... They aren't watering it down.

Hope it doesn't get any rating problems then (like Blue Valentine, which I can't find anywhere).

[BStecke]

Trent Reznor is working with Fincher again for the score. That puts me in I just started the book, so I'm not too familiar with everything yet, but it all seems intriguing.

Of course there won't be any rating problems. It's one of the most hotly anticipated studio films coming out in the next two years. Your question regarding whether it would be "watered down" or not was a good one. Yes, it's Fincher who has shown a propensity to be somewhat edgy, but you never know. The extraordinary appeal of the movie could lead the producers and studio towards a more accessible PG-13 rating. However, that will definitely not be the case, especially in light of Fincher's likely Oscar win, which will give him any additional leverage he may (or may not) have needed.

Yes, I'm hoping on this.

[ArrestedDevelopment]

Can't wait, another Fincher masterpiece to look forward to!

[kernel_thai]

If its not R I see no reason to see it. The sexual aspects r so interwoven with the plot it would simply gut it. Maybe the new PG-13 Swedish title could be Men Who Find Women Tedious

Im not a big fan of the Swedish adaptation. While they did a good job condensing the very complex mystery down into something that could be told in a two hour movie, I thought they did a lousy job with the two main characters. The first book is Blomkvist's story but ud never know it from the movie. All the personality of his character got reduced to bland detective. Salander, who is the most interesting character, got featured and Rapace did do quality work. Unfortunately, she so physically wrong for the part its distracting. The writers here seemed to completely miss the point of the character.

Here's hoping the Fincher version outshines the previous version and does the book justice.

I know you won't agree to this,but I for one can't understand it if Fincher hasn't yet total artistic control on his projects.Remember Kubrick had unprecedented control on his projects,and-yes-Fincher has yet to reach that level of excellence (Don't think he will now) but his resume is second to none in today's hollywood.

The thing which gets me is that he more and more looks like a contract director which Coppola turned into in the nineties

[McCrutchy]

The posts for the remake should go under this thread.

I saw the trailer/teaser today for this, and my god, the music in it was absolutely TERRIBLE. It was a remix of "Immigrant Song" that did NOT fit at all with the movie.

I really hope the teaser disappears soon, because it really sickens me. I was going to give this unnecessary remake a go because Fincher was at the helm, but if he was at all involved with this promo, then that's a bad omen...

Heh, I was just telling somebody two nights ago that Immigrant Song mix had me more interested to see what Fincher does with this.

I don't know, to me, I think of something much more melancholic, knowing the plot of the Swedish film. I also see a lot of elements in the teaser that look the same or very similar to the original.

I will still hold out hope, however.

[TheForce8686]

They need a new trailer cause I have no idea what this movie is about. They need to give details on the general story of the movie.

This is not a trailer, it's a teaser, meant to whet appetites for the movie. Actual trailers will be out closer to the December release date, the first probably being in September/October.
