Daniel Craig as Mikael Blomkvist
Daniel Craig was officially announced in July 2010 by Sony Pictures Entertainment to play the role as Mikael Blomkvist. The Brittish actor who is most known form his role as James Bond in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. Just Like Rooney Mara the part in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has been a tremendous career boost. Craig who was relativly unknown before Casino Royale is now together with Rooney Mara one of Hollywoods most wanted actor.
Before Daniel Craig was annouced for the role a lot of rumors had been circling. Both Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Johnny Depp were discussed for role but in the end Craig was the one who was annouced.
Before "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" Daniel Craig and directior David Fincher had never worked together before. In the clip below Daniel Craig talks about how it was working with David Fincher.
The role of Lisbeth Salander will be played by Rooney Mara. Mara who recently played in The Social Network, the film about Facebook and before that The terror on Elm Street.
I love Daniel Craig and I think he will be great in the role, but is the version as good as the Swedish one

Phillip Seymour Hoffman would have been great in this role. Daniel Craig is fairy floss by comparison. Doesn't anyone in "Hollywood" have any idea of characterisation.

Surely you jest! Daniel Craig is a great choice. Phillip Seymour Hoffman is a great actor.. he would make one of the most perfect villians..cold hearted nazi bastards..there were enough of them to choose from.

The could not be a more amazing lead male character Daniel Criag , he was outstanding as Blomkvirst. So laid back and steely in his actions. Loved him Depp and the rest could not have given such an amazing preformance.
