The movies have all already been made. They're Swedish.

They will all be better than whatever bullshit Hollywood puts out.


End story.

what are you saying, bullshit hollywood. The name David Fincher doesnt ring a bell? Seven, fight club, those were such hollywood trash. I havnt seen it yet but I know that he will blow away anything else ever made about this.

Watch the movie, the Swedish version has been out for a while. It's one of the best I've seen in a while.

The Swedish versions were much better...Hollywood basically just copied the Swedish version shot for shot.

am i the only person who thought the film was extremely overrated? after seeing the first one i'm not even going to bother with the others. as for the book, i haven't read it, but my dad did and said it was pretty poorly written, among other things. usually i like to make my own mind up about things like this but from what he's told me about it, and judging by the film, i'm not going to waste my time.

i'm eager to see the fincher version though as he is easily one of my favourite directors and i reckon that it'll at least be different from the original, which is always something

Flincher's version was awesome.


The books were far from poorly written. That's coming from my mother whom I trust far more than your dads opinion.. why? Because she and all her friends enjoyed the book and keep harping me to read it.

They have never once suggested a bad book to me. I just asked her why your dad would have thought that it was written poorly, and it's because it's hard to follow if you're not a big reader... Does your dad read often?

yeah he does actually. he said that he found it to be written as if the author was specifically writing with a movie in mind rather concentrating on writing a book, that there was a ridiculous amount of product placement, there was a lot of unnecessary stuff, poor dialogue, probably some other stuff too, i really can't remember all of it off the top of my head.

i've read the books and greatly enjoyed them, but i can definitely see where he's coming from in a way. Keep in mind that the books weren't written in English, which I think contributes to the things he noticed. I think that originally the author mentioned brands and such in a much more conversational way, but it feels like the feeling was lost a little in the translation. Same with the dialogue, which can feel a little unnatural just in the speech patterns. For me, it was a "can't put it down" book, that left me feeling a little "wanting" at the end. Still very recommended though.

I read all three last Christmas.

They honestly all got better and better/gnarlier and gnarlier.

Tip for those who want to read the series. Try your hardest to get past the first 100-150 pages in the first one, because it is a little boring. After that, the action comes.

Not only do I think you will like the swedish version more, but the girl who plays Lisbeth is a lot more attractive in them.

If anyone out there hasn't seen this, go see it, its awesome. Also if you live in a big city (LA, NYC, Chicago) try and go see it in 4K, that will make you shit yourself. This was shot all on Red ONE and Epic and mastered in 4K and it is meant to be delivered in 4K. If you have the chance to watch in 4k, do it!

Just finished the book, a page turner for sure. I couldn't put it down (even though I knew the ending). I'm in the process of ordering the other two to my place in Boulder for when I return from Christmas break. God damn you gotta appreciate a good book!

just saw the movie, I liked the whole thing but the intro was one of the craziest things I've ever seen. I tried googling to see how many man hours that took but couldn't find anything.

anyone in here who is more knowledgable wanna give a rough estimate on the manhours?

"It's easier to just talk about the resolution on the original negative and avoid bringing in the resolution of various printing and projection methods, etc. Red has tested Super-35 and generally found it to be, I forgot, 3.2K or 3.5K, something like that.

You could therefore say that if a 24mm wide piece of film negative resolves 3.2K, for example, a 36mm wide piece of film (VistaVision) would resolve 4.8K, and a 52mm wide piece of film (5-perf 65mm Super Panavision / Todd-AO) would resolve 6.9K, and a 70mm wide piece of film (15-perf 65mm IMAX) would resolve 9.3K. However, this ignores some real-world issues like the fact that older medium-format lenses used on large format movie cameras have a lower MTF compared to modern 35mm cine optics (because the larger negatives don't need lenses with high MTF's because if you have more millimeters overall, you don't need to resolve as many lines per millimeter...)

If you really want to be crude, you could say that you lose maybe half the resolution of the negative once it is printed through dupe elements and thrown onto a theater screen, which is why 2K projection seems on par with the best 35mm print projection, and 4K projection would be similar to 70mm projection, but it therefore also means that IMAX digital projection should be at least 6K...

Now don't confuse measurable resolution with optimal scanning, mastering, and archiving resolution -- if 35mm film really resolves 3.2K, then in reality you really should be scanning it at more like 4K to 6K to avoid aliasing, which is why most people round things off to 4K as being ideal for posting 35mm photography... but perhaps 6K would be better for scanning, and then you should finish at 4K. "

In addition, you have to keep in mind the projectors. iMax digital either uses 2 2k projectors and overlaps them or some use a sony 4k projector.
