So begins the next round of publicity for David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The highly anticipated film based on the Stieg Larsson Millenium trilogy, starring Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara, won’t be premiering in India because the director, Fincher, has refused to cut some scenes that don’t appease India’s Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

Pulsating with darkness and cranking the pacing to 11, David Fincher creates an ever degrading environment in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, perpetuated by a single mentality: Men Who Hate Woman. There’s no way to convey that message if it isn’t accompanied by retaliation and does it ever haunt its maleficent. Stieg Larsson’s novel is an international best-seller with over 30 million copies sold, there’s a fan base, if not a particular group, that’s very well aware of its plot and thematic tour-de-force and is entirely evident in Steven Zaillain's tightly-knit screenplay.
Having seen the original Swedish TV adaptation, I can certainly say that Fincher imbues the world that Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara) and Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) inhabit. Dark, dreary and certainly grey, the film has pain and vengeance waiting to reap at every corner. If you’re not familiar with the plot, here’s a quick take: Journalist Mikael Blomkvist is aided in his search for a woman who has been missing for forty years by Lisbeth Salander, a young computer hacker. Touted in it’s trailers as “the feel bad movie of the year”, the thriller conveys sex and its inevitable abuse and exploitation.

This doesn't come as much of a suprise, but the Brit actor is being touted as a possible record-holder for most appearances as Bond in the ongoing franchise. Daniel Craig is certainly going to be picking up discussions as to whether or not to continue for 5 more films with the franchise, once production completes on the third outing: Skyfall, directed by Sam Mendes.
Hoping to surpass Roger Moore's seven appearances, producer Michael G. Wilson is hoping Craig will enlist for more action packed spy games as James Bond:

Say, wouldn't you be interested in watching the previously unreleased 8-minute trailer for David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? I'd say: "Yes, I would and thank you very much." Not only is the films extended trailer quite succinct in establishing the films plot, it showcases very strong incentives to go see the film in theaters. See the extended trailer after the jump.

When the James Bond franchise was revived for Casino Royale, one of the many traditional elements that was chucked out was Q, a character who can best be described as a snooty British version of the Dark Knight Trilogy's Lucius Fox. Now, according to Ain't it Cool News, fans will be able to see his character once again in the recently announced James Bond flick, Skyfall. Rather than being the nitpicky old man, however, he will now be portrayed by 30-year-old actor Ben Wishaw.
