Adapt It

On my daily run through of CNN headlines, one in particular caught my eye. "Craig to be cast in Dragon Tattoo." My mind immediately screamed, but that movie has already been made. I've seen it! Maybe there are talking about a new movie called Dragon Tattoo. I clicked on it. Nope, they are doing an American adaptation of the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

Originally, I thought that was a bad idea. The author is swedish, the books are swedish, and the movie is made and spoken in it's native language. But we are society that revels in adaptation. I don't think that many people braved the subtitled movie. So, if it takes a remake in English to get it out there to the masses, it can't be that bad. I do hope that the original actress will at least make a cameo. I think she is perfect for Lisbeth's character. I read they are throwing around the likes of Ellen Page and Kristen Stewart. They can play disaffected but their faces give away too much emotion. Lisbeth is a girl that hides everything. You can never know what she is thinking unless she says it. So, my apprehension has turned to excitement.
