"She's coming." That's the tagline for director David Fincher's highly anticipated big-screen adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, starring Rooney Mara as feisty computer hacker Lisbeth Salander and Daniel Craig as idealistic journalist Mikael Blomkvist. A new red band teaser trailer (apparently pirated) announces that Dragon Tattoo, which hits theaters Dec. 21, will be the "feel bad movie of Christmas" -- and drives that point home with 99 seconds of gritty, glorious footage. Watch the trailer below!
Though a Swedish trilogy of films based Stieg Larsson's best-selling Millennium book series has already grossed more than $157 million worldwide, expectations for the new American version are extremely high.
Fincher, known for directing taut, edgy films such as Fight Club, Zodiac and last year's mega-hit The Social Network (in which Mara played the memorable role of Mark Zuckerburg's girlfriend), seems a perfect fit for Larsson's hard-hitting thriller about a mismatched pair who teams up to solve a decades-old mystery. And the combination of Mara and Craig as that mismatched pair looks very exciting.
The teaser trailer is gripping and fast-paced, and the repeating shot of a snowy road leading up to an isolated mansion adds to the tension. It also boasts a quick shot of some side nudity, which likely is what earned the video its "red band" status. Played with tremendous urgency to Trent Reznor and Karen O's cover of Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" (remember that Reznor won an Academy Award for his score to Fincher's The Social Network), the trailer is sure to get fans of the book talking.
"She's coming." And we can't wait.
