Check out this extended trailer for the upcoming US version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Though it’s not as zippy as the original teaser, the story based on the best-selling crime novel by the late Swedish author Stieg Larsson is explored further here. In this nearly 4-minute trailer audiences are properly introduced to Rooney Mara’s Lisbeth Salander and Daniel Craig’s Mikael Blomkvist. The cast is stacked with talent, and based on what we’ve seen so far this first chapter of the Millennium series is going to make a giant star out of Mara. What a roundabout in her appearance from David Fincher’s last film The Social Network, huh?
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo opens wide December 21, 2011. And just in case the trailer is removed from YouTube, watch it in HD at Apple.
