Synopsis: Lisbeth Salander lies in critical condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the intensive care unit of a Swedish city hospital. She’s fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she’ll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of her friend, journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her innocence but also identify and denounce those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And on her own she will plot revenge – against the man who tried to kill her and the corrupt government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life.
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nestbrings back Noomi Rapace in the starring role of the pierced and tattooed genius computer hacker Lisbeth Salander; Michael Nyqvist as Mikael Blomkvist, the crusading journalist and publisher of the magazine Millennium; and Lena Endre as Erika Berger, the editor of the magazine and Blomkvist’s occasional lover.
Novelist Stieg Larsson died suddenly in 2004 and left behind three unpublished novels now known as the Millennium trilogy. Since his first novel The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was published in Swedenin 2005, the trilogy and the subsequent film adaptations have become major international sensations. Director David Fincher is currently shooting the remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo with a screenplay by Steve Zaillian and Scott Rudin producing. Collectively the three film adaptations have generated over $200 million in worldwide box office. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has the highest box office for a subtitled film in the U.S.since Pan’s Labyrinth.
