The Girl Who Played With Fire
The Girl Who Played with Fire is the second film but it has a different director (Daniel Alfredson) and screenwriter (Jonas Frykberg). The provenance is complicated: the books went into production as a six-part TV series just as the trilogy's sales were taking off around the world. The series was then refashioned with extra material to make stand-alone movies but even these exist in different versions. The Swedish-release version of Tattoo ran 180 minutes but 152 minutes elsewhere. Fire appears to be 129 minutes in all territories. The six-part TV series also exists. This is going to keep collectors poor for a decade.

Guin--did you see The Gril Who Played with Fire? I was a bit diappointed in it after how good The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo was, even though the lead characters are the same. The third movie in the trilogy should be out soon and despite my views on the second, I'll giv it a chance(apparently they were all filmed around the same time--not sure when the US film is coming out, but I'm not really looking forward to it (anymore than I am the US versin of L:et the Right One In, which I think is titled Let Me In and should be out soon.
