DeBenGuzzi Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Some inside info on the bike made for the movie, http://www.bikeexif.com/motorcycle-movie I am reading this book right now, so far so good. Link to comment
mznyc Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 My girlfriend read it and she reads a lot of high brow literature so I dismissed it as a frothy "chick book".The trailers make it look like a interesting thriller so I guess I'll have to borrow it from her. , Oh and the heroine rides a motorcycle,...

Guzzirider Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 The book is good and the original Swedish film is excellent- I can't see the need for a Hollywood remake. Link to comment
Tom M Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 The book is good and the original Swedish film is excellent- I can't see the need for a Hollywood remake. I agree 100% Guy. I enjoyed reading the trilogy and watching the Swedish movies but I do think they picked a better bike for Lisbeth in the Hollywood version. I believe that she was on an enduro or a supermoto in the Swede films? I don't remember what she rode in the books. Link to comment

Have seen the original film, read the book so with all due respect: You don't need a Hollywood version, stick to the original Swedish movie. And it's bloody brilliant! Søren Link to comment
stormsedge Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 We watched the Swedish versions with English subtitles...very good stuff. Link to comment
Badclassicist Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 We watched the Swedish versions with English subtitles...very good stuff. Then again, David Fincher - always interesting to watch... I'm hoping this'll be another 'Let the Right One In / Let Me In', not another 'Nikita / The Assassin' (or whatever they ended up calling that piece of...). /-) Link to comment
jrt Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 It's been a couple years since I read the book, but wasn't Lisbeth on something like a (ninja) KZ250? I recall that it was a small displacement sportbike?? Anyhow, the Swedish films are brilliant, but I've only seen the first two. I hope the American versions are as good. Link to comment

Great trilogy Hollywood on the money pump, if The Killing series remake is an exemplar I don't think I'll bother Link to comment

mznyc Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 gratuitous sex Gratuitous sex ? OK now I gotta read it! Link to comment
ferguzzi Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Yeah, gratuitous lesbian sex too. All told the Hollywood version's meant to be very good, and fincher's got a lot to do with that. I'm a little dubious, because the books were very good, the Swedish movies were not bad either. I have to say, I don't see how "let the right one in" could have been improved, something about the drab coldness of Sweden really added to it. And it totally blew me away. Best movie of the year, no contest. Can't see how it could be made better.. Link to comment
