In this great preview piece in W by Lynn Hirschberg on director David Fincher, there are some new photos of Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander.
Some things to note: Fincher thinks of Salander as a modern day Pippi Longstocking; he calls her “a goth Pippi, “ and the script by Steven Zaillian does not stick too close to the book:
The script…departs rather dramatically from the book. Blomkvist is less promiscuous, Salander is more aggressive, and, most notably, the ending — the resolution of the drama — has been completely changed. This may be sacrilege to some, but Zaillian has improved on Larsson — the script’s ending is more interesting.
