I'm hearing that Carey Mulligan, the Oscar-nominated actress from
An Education
, is the leading candidate to play Lisbeth Salander in the director David Fincher's English-language version of Stieg Larsson's popular novel
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
, an engrossing thriller I am currently reading. It also appears that Brad Pitt is the leading candidate to play the financial reporter who joins with Salander to solve the 40-year-old mystery of a missing heiress. Personally, I think both are excellent choices. The question is whether the book's sequel,
The Girl Who Played with Fire
, which may even be more popular than the first book, be filmed with Mulligan as well.

I've been thinking about this for a couple of days, and I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you. Somehow, I just can't picture the dark and brooding character of Lisbeth Salander with dimples. And Brad Pitt? It looks like my fears are being justified. Hollywood is going to screw up a great book (or trilogy of books) like they have done many times in the past. Personally, I would just like to have the opportunity to see the Swedish film made from the book.
