Casting call -- looking for the girl with the dragon tattoo

I loved the first book, "saving" the 2 other books to read later.

I think the "Yo Yo" rapper with the $$$ in her name best coincides with how I imagine Lisbeth Salander to be, but maybe Daniel Craig might feel she will upstage him.

In my opinion she's the only one who has enough character to fit the role, and provide a balance to Daniel Craig.

Craig is a bit rougher than the original Blomkvist, who is a bit of a nerd and not as brave, at least in book one, as Lisbeth, but no doubt the Hollywood version will have beefed up action scenes for the sedentary(mostly) journalist.

Oh well.

Hollywood is about money -- Sweden is about art, it seems. Let's just hope it is not dumbed down too much.

Part of the fascination of the book was the intellectual meat one could chew on.
