REVIEW: "THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO"

Still from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Although I never thought much of Niels Arden Oplev's original Adaptation of Stieg Larsson's international Bestseller The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, I am a huge Fan of David Fincher's interpretation of it.

This first installment in the Trilogy-to-come centers around an unlikely Duo brought together by a family Mystery haunting wealthy Swedes The Vangers for well-over 40 years. Shamed Journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) is called upon by Henrik Vanger (Christopher Plummer) to solve the mystery behind the presumed murder of his beloved Niece Harriet. After reaching a roadblock in his investigation, he is connected with volatile 23 year-old Computer Hacker-for-hire Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara). Coincidentally, she also is the same Hacker who was enlisted to investigate Mikael amidst his own controversy.

As Mikael and Lisbeth continue their fact-finding, they begin unraveling some deep, dark secrets about the Vanger Family never before brought to light and we realize that danger is ever-imminent as they are being watched by someone closer to home than originally believed.

H&M ANNOUNCES "THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO" COLLECTION

Trish Summerville for H&M

As if it weren't exciting enough that David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is hitting theatres over the Holidays, H&M has announced today that they will be releasing a line of Clothing inspired by the Film by Costume Designer Trish Summerville.  Summerville oversaw the same designs which Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara will be donning in the U.S. adaptation of the Swedish hit.

Summerville says, "Salander’s look is very real and very lived in, with pieces that her character has worn for a long time, like her jackets that act as her armour to shield her from the world. I wanted the collection to have the essence and strength of Salander, with a fashion edge, and I’m pleased with the result! My goal is forwomen to find pieces in it that they love and then mix them with their own wardrobe to create their own personal style.".

The Women's Collection hits 180 stores worldwide and Online on December 14, 2011.
