to this?
Rooney Mara's transformation in to Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is insane. She claims the character came about after a very "intense" day of eyebrow bleaching, hair chopping, lip/brow/nose/nipple piercing (yes, nipple and yes, you see it. Several times.) Intense indeed.
The movie is fantastic. Full disclosure - I did not read the book, so those purists may disagree with me. But I loved it and I am still thinking about the flick today. I may even go pick up the second book in the series...
Will you see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo?
I can't wait to see this movie! Having read the books and watched the Swedish films, Rooney clearly captured the essence of Lisbeth. And you should read all three books - I even mail them to you! Merry Christmas, Sarah!
ReplyDeleteI read the book this summer and it was intense! I want to see the movie but I'm a nightmare-ish kind of person and am kind of nervous! :)
ReplyDeleteOk, so I am dying to see the movie, but with a 5 month old that is not going to happen anytime soon. Maybe I will read the book over Christmas!
ReplyDeleteOh mama - that is the one film I told The Hubs we were going to see in the theater, and we may even do the fancy schmancy big theater in the Power & Light district. Cannot. Wait. Loved the bookts, loved the original film, and puh-leeze - LOOOOOVE Daniel Craig. Funny thing is - when I read the books originally, in my head I was casting the movie (this was before I had seen the Swedish film or knew they were doing an American version), and I totally pegged Daniel Craig for Blomquist.
ReplyDeleteAnyhoozle - have a happy Christmas!!
