Because the original "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" has caused a craze that is hard to ignore around the world, the Hollywood remake has also attracted attention. One of the most interesting is the actress who plays the heroine. Film critics, including Roger Albert, who have won the Pulitzer Prize, have shown great interest. The producer had considered letting the original actor Noomi Rapace to re-act the role, but she refused the request. She said that playing a role in the three films has already made her mentally exhausted, and it is impossible to replay this role in the remake.
During the preparation of the film, Kerry Mulligan, Alan Page, Kristen Stewart, Natalie Portman, Mia Wasikowski, Keira Knightley, Actresses such as Anne Hathaway, Emily Browning, Eva Green, Scarlett Johansson, Emma Watson, etc. have all been candidates for the leading role. Some of these people took the initiative to resign, and some were removed from the list of candidates by the director and producer. In the end, Rooney Mara got this much-anticipated role.
The hero of the film, the reporter who is trapped in the fog, is played by a new generation of 007, Daniel Craig. Daniel Craig resigned at first because of a conflict between the shooting schedule of the next 007 movie and the film. But the producer adjusted the filming plan of the film, so he took over the role again. Johnny Depp, Vigo Mortensen, Brad Depit, and George Clooney were all once candidates for the leading role.
