In the book, both Rooney Mara and Mikael Blomkvist are assigned tasks by a wealthy industrialist enacted in the film by Christopher Plummer. The duo’s investigation leads them to other mysterious findings in the case and they chance upon a myriad of problems within a large family.

“The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” is one part of “The Millennium Trilogy” by Stirg Larsson. It is a criminal thriller which shows two people trying to solve a 40 -year-old murder case. Earlier reports suggested that Brad Pitt was the initial choice for the role Blomkvist, but director David Flincher decided to cast Daniel Craig instead, taking into account the growing popularity quotient of the 007 man. Flincher has also promised that he will present all the three parts of the trilogy and reports claim that Daniel Craig and his director are in talks for the future projects.
