I've LOVED all three books and the first two movies (though I had to watch the second without subtitles). I'm American and I do NOT want Hollywood to get its hands on these movies, they will be ruined. They must stay as they are...the actors are EXCELLENT, the setting is essential, the language is important (just read the subtitles if you have them or muddle your way through like I did). I cannot WAIT until I'm able to see the third movie, I have no idea when that will be since the third book isn't even release in the US yet.

The Filmproducers from Yellow Bird in Sweden really made 2 ( I saw them ) and probably 3 very good movies. Swedish spoken and with subtitles according to the country you live. Seeing dubbed movies is per defenition wrong. The thought that Hollywood is interested to buy the right and make thier version is not very attractive. You can't transport the typical scandinavian settings of this story to Hollywood. I heard Tarrantino is interested.
I can only deduct he like the bloody parts and want to make his version style Kill Bill. Lot's of killing and bloody scenes. But I fail to see how Hollywood can do this and make it a blockbuster. I as a Millenium fan would hesitate, unless proven different.

Is there an american version coming out or will this trilogy simply be available in dubbed or subtitled versions. I 'm ok with both just as long as the quality of the books is translated to the movies!!

couple of months ago I could buy at reduced price all 3 books at onces. Read them quickly after reading a small article about it in a magazine. As all fans I was over the moon about the 3 books. Then I looked at movie one + biografie on DVD. The director and scriptwitters who did the casting found the perfect actors. So scandinavian /SWedish. perfect.
Don't see the films without reading the books I advise.
just saw nr 2 in the cinema last sunday. Again very good work. Unfortunately the filmakers can't put 650 good pages into a 2 hour film. They had to leave interesting topics and situations completely out. but in March I look forward to see film 3 and I fear that "this is it" then for Millenium. Or ...? who knows the Sweeds have something cooking with more books and films, but I guess the current situation with inlaws and ex girldfrined and biographies will make it complicated.
Today was written in the media that ex collegues from Stieg claim he hardly was a good writter, and that his girls frined did most of the writting.
Bit painfull after such a succes post mortum.
Time will tell, but if this is true it burst a bit the bubbel of admiration I had for the man.

I heard that The girl with the dragon tatto recently won the people's choice award (or something...) at a screening in Palm Springs, California. I'm not from the US, is that an important award? I'm just curoius if the film is getting any buzz in the US and how it will do when it opens there.
Does anyone know if they will release it in all major cities or only in selected places and sort of treat it as a minor "art" film.

The films are one of the worst adaptation of a book I´ve ever seen. Millenium deserve a better deal. It seems to be only a attempt to make money instead of making good movies
- Irae, 19 January 2010
I Dont agree!, the film is very good and accurate!, I was actually impressed they managed to include so many things. Acors were great!

Ditto. How do we get the films in the states? Subtitles in English are fine, great. And no to a Hollywood version.
I've loaned people the books & they call me wanting more. They read the books until 3 a.m. It's a passion.
Does anyone know when we're getting the film?
- Gwen, 17 January 2010
Just finished the last book ... at 3 a.m.
And now on a desperate search to find the movies also. Can they be ordered on amazon.uk?

It's mentioned on the Swedish publishers web site for the books (stieglarsson.se) that the first film will start distribution in the US in March 2010 by Music Box Films.
- Mike, Stocholm, 24 January 2010

I just came home and watched all three movies in a row. I was honoured to be one of the few who watched the European premiere (Skandinavian lands excluded) of the third movie. It was thrilling, even doe the books have more to tell us, the stories told by the filmmakers have the same ambiance.

Are these going to be released in England with subtitles? would much prefer that than hollywood ruining yet another amazing story. The story is sweedish, so the films should be.

I cannot wait to buying the movie in DVD or Blueray. When is it going to be released in these formats? Or when we are going to see the movie in Australia?

I loved the three books and I miss Michael and Lizbeth!! I am very disappointed to know that the Swedish jurisdiction didn't allow the 4th book to be finished by Mr. Larsson's partner. Any updates about this? Never saw the films in US. Are they going to be played here?
