The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo: will the film sequels be scrapped?
Posted by Metro in Uncategorized on December 31, 2011
Despite being one of the most hotly anticipated film of 2011, the new adaptation of the first book of Stieg Larsson’s popular trilogy, was not what American movie-goers chose to watch at the cinema over the Christmas weekend.
It is thought that a combination of the Christmas release date and adult content, including an extremely graphic depiction of rape, could have been a factor in the film’s underwhelming box office showing.
Furthermore, it has been suggested by American entertainment sites that fans of the Stieg Larsson novel were already satisfied by the original Swedish version of the film, which made nearly $100 million just two years ago.
As one of the most popular crime thrillers of modern times, the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was the first book to sell a million digital copies. the “Millennium” trilogy has sold over 17 million copies in the United States alone.
The existence of any sequel will now be determined by how well the film does in the coming weeks, and how well it fares overseas.
Sony maintain that developments for the planned sequel, the Girl Who Played with Fire, are already under way.

Stieg Larsson has ruined my dragon tattoo
Posted by Metro in Uncategorized on August 26, 2011
When I had a dragon indelibly inked on to my abdomen 15 years ago, I thought I had futureproofed myself against tattoo regret by choosing a classic, rather than cutesy or faddy design. my dad had a couple of proper drunken-sailor tattoos, so my choosing a traditional seafarer’s emblem felt almost legitimate (although, admittedly, I have yet to navigate the South China Sea).
My dragon (pictured) was beautifully rendered in the muted blues I associate with ancient Chinese depictions of the mythical creatures. with a dash of lilac on the tail, and white in the eyes, it would only get better with age.
Irritating, then, that the graceful fading of my tattoo has been interrupted by the relentless rise of Stieg Larsson‘s first novel, titled in English as the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, part of his Millennium trilogy of crime novels. what a naff title, I reassured myself when the first book appeared, on account of the infantilising use of “girl” jarring with the naked-backed (and dragon-tattooed) young woman on the cover. It’ll sink without a trace.
Of course Larsson’s posthumously published trilogy went on to make him Europe’s bestselling author of 2009. then, last year, came the series of internationally acclaimed Swedish film adaptations. And now, adding insult to injury, the publicity drive for the Hollywood remake has begun in earnest. last week, Sony Pictures released the first in-character images of Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara, who plays the book’s eponymous heroine, Lisbeth Salander. she may be a crack shot, agile boxer and master computer hacker blessed with a photographic memory, and a fearless nemesis of men who commit crimes against women, but I don’t want to be mistaken for a tragic wannabe of any fictional character, thank you very much.
I still don’t regret my dragon, but let’s just say I’m not so very sad that I’ve reached an age where midriff exposing is no longer appropriate.
'Toy Story 3' Soundtrack
Posted by Metro in Uncategorized on February 28, 2011
Ellen Stodola The third part of this lovable trilogy gets lively music to complement the adventures of the toys.
The Toy story 3 soundtrack is really interesting because it conveys a lot of different emotions and plot points while still being appropriate for an animated children’s film.
The major song on the Toy story 3 soundtrack is Randy Newman’s “We Belong Together.” This song was nominated for best Original Song at the Academy Awards, and it really underlines the major theme of the film that the toys really need to stay together in order to be happy. Though they would like to stay with their owner, Andy, throughout the years, they have survived because they had each other even when he began to lose interest in playing with toys. “We Belong Together” also helps to promote the idea that though times change, we can remember the past as fondly as if it was yesterday, and in order to do this, the toys need to move on together in the end.
The Spanish version of “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” is important and entertaining just because this is one of the major theme songs of the Toy Story franchise. This part of the film is funny and cute and helps to break up some of the seriousness of the mission that the toys must accomplish throughout the entire film.
Much of the soundtrack is quite lively and adventuresome which really fits with the overall film because above all else, it’s an animated children’s film. The toys come to life when people aren’t looking, so the music is a great way to capture this quality of the action.
“Garbage?” is threatening but suggests some sort of mission at the same time. The toys are shocked at being considered garbage even though it’s a misunderstanding, and the music helps to demonstrate the sense of urgency that they must act with in order to get out of their situation before being taken out with the trash. The march-like quality demonstrates the way that the toys always seem to have a plan.
In “Woody Bails,” you can really sense the disappointment of the toys that Woody has left them. The otherwise lively music is slowed down and has a hint of melancholy to really get at the sadness that Woody is feeling leaving the others behind, but it also has a sense of determination because he feels as though this is his only option.
“To the Dump” definitely has something foreboding about it. but, once again, it also suggests that though the toys are in a bad situation, they will likely come up with a plan. The title and music suggest that the place that toys least want to go is the dump, and though there are many dangers there, they can still make it out before it’s too late.
The Toy story 3 soundtrack helps to track the toys’ adventures as they face the fact that Andy is about to go to college and their future is uncertain. Randy Newman creates a mix of emotions that fit well with the plot points of the movie.
