Although I have to work on Sunday, I have another movie day planned. This time we are going to see The Girl Who Played With Fire. I am really excited, but I'm not expecting another celebrity sighting.
When we were planning our trip to the movies, Kathryn and I started talking about the inevitable hollywood version of the Stieg Larsson trilogy. She read it could be Tom Hanks and Natalie Portman. I was aghast! I have nothing against either actor, but PUH-LEASE! It probably won't happen, but I think they would be way better off finding an unknown actress to play Lisbeth and someone a bit more rugged to play Mikael. I guess it doesn't matter, as Kathryn says* "I'm determined to hate whoever it is".
* I'm paraphrasing
I think Christina Ricci would be a good choice as Lisbeth. How about Would Mikey Rourke be rugged enough for Mikael?
ReplyDeleteMikey might be a bit too rough around the edges.
ReplyDeleteOh no, I didn't read those selections, I was just making cynical predictions. They'll ruin it by going for the blockbuster actors...
ReplyDeleteLet's be honest, they'll probably ruin it no matter what. Although I will say, despite grave misgivings, I really enjoy Kira Knightly's Pride and Prejudice. I almost boycotted.
