For comparison, Michael Nyqvist played Blomkvist in the Yellow Bird movies and followed a very conventional career trajectory for foreign breakout stars in Hollywood, showing up to play antagonists in John Wick and funnily enough Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol , up until he tragically passed away earlier this year.
For the money that the Hollywood version cost, you could have made seven of them. Fincher made his trademark use of seamless visual effects to tell the story, as demonstrated in this astonishing featurette , but the cost was driven up by a day shoot, necessitated by the number of scenes set at night. The result is the sort of visual excellence you expect from its director, but the investment may just have been a bit much to recoup for the studio, though the cost was ameliorated by product placement deals.
To use some advertising jargon, this winds up looking like story-selling rather than storytelling. Many reviewers at the time commented upon the prominence of McDonalds, Coca Cola and Apple in the film. When the remake was first announced, there was an online campaign, championed by film critic Roger Ebert no less, to get Rapace to reprise her role.
The Yellow Bird films were each extended to minutes for their television broadcast, and broadcast in six 90 minute instalments on Swedish public broadcaster SVT1. These adaptations easily transitioned to television, a medium in which cold case procedurals are commonplace, but even for a filmmaker like Fincher, the film has an uphill battle to make the story feel cinematic.
On the DVD commentary, Fincher and Zaillian talk about how they reluctantly structured the film around five acts, rather than the more conventional three act feature film structure, and directly compared it to TV cop dramas.
Outside of the densely plotted cold case, the film is extended at the front, by the separation of Lisbeth and Blomkvist and their respective screentime before they meet at the 76 minute mark, and at the back, by a rote epilogue that was more economically adapted first time around.
She's an ace businesswoman with a happy life, except for the burden of her secrets. She's become friends with Erika Berger and is an interesting player in the next two novels. We don't really get to know Harriet because she's missing for most of the book. But, in addition to being at the center of the mystery, and presenting a heartbreaking story of abuse, she's used to present a moral and ethical dilemma. Blomkvist totally understand why Harriet fled, and why she didn't tell anyone what Martin did to her.
She was ashamed, frightened, and traumatized. She was running for her life. Blomkvist is certain that Harriet had no idea Martin was a killer. But Salander has a different take on the matter. If she had done something in , Martin Vanger couldn't have kept killing and raping for thirty-seven years" Salander thinks that most rapists don't stop being rapists.
Panicked, Martin speeds until he crashes into a truck and dies. In the photographs, she finds pictures of a semi-nude young girl. Disturbed, she destroys the evidence and returns to the cabin. The next morning, Salander explains the event to Frode.
Afterward, Salander receives the news that her mother has died and stays in Sweden as Blomkvist departs for Australia. At the airport, Blomkvist receives an envelope that contains the name and address of a farm run by a widow named Anita Cochran. After a period of time in Italy, she fell in love with an Australian man and moved back with him. He died a few years ago, but she still runs their sheep ranch.
In fear for her life, she fled and then pushed him into the water with an oar and held him under until he drowned. Martin witnessed the murder and raped her afterward, but eventually he left Hedeby.
