‘Dragon Tattoo’ actress casting down to four
Those interested in David Fincher’s forthcoming American adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” should find this news item interesting. Turns out Fincher has offered the role of Mikael Blomkvist to Daniel Craig (and James Bond has reportedly accepted), while narrowing the search for title character Lisbeth Salander to four different actresses.
In case you forgot, the Swedish version of Larsson’s novel came out last year (and played recently at the Magic Lantern). Look for the sequel to play some time in the next few weeks.

interesting choice of Craig for Mikael Blomkvist, as we were reading the books Sheri always got a mental picture of Liam Neeson as Blomkvist.

At 58, Neeson is about 15 years too old. Besides, he's a big guy. If you go by the Swedish version, Craig - as long as he keeps his shirt on - seems more appropriate. I'll be interested to see what Fincher does with Salander. Again, in the Swedish version, Noomi Rapace sets a pretty high standard.
