The Swedish film of the first instalment of Stieg Larsson’s engrossing Millennium trilogy has finally reached Singapore!

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo opens in GV cinemas today and as I missed the press screening in lieu of Boot Camp in the Botanic Gardens (exhausting, but worth it) I’ll be rushing ASAP to catch the movie along with you all. A friend who’s seen it in Australia reported it is, "An excellent, realistic adaptation. What amazed me most is how as this is the Swedish version, no one has had Botox or plastic surgery - everyone is ‘real’, wrinkles, saggy bits and all - so refreshing!". At last, an accurate representation of what it means to be in your mid 40s - or older - and sexy. I can’t wait to see Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander brought to life, let alone all the other fascinating characters. It’s in Swedish with subtitles, so don’t forget your specs! You can view the trailer here

Make sure you catch the REAL adaptation, before viewing the Hollywood version - I believe Daniel Craig has been signed up and Carey Mulligan is under consideration. Let’s hope la-la-land doesn’t balls it up!

If any of you have already seen the first film and are eagerly awaiting the second, you can view a trailer of The Girl Who Played With Fire here and it will be out in Singapore on September 16. The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest will then be released on October 21, shortly after it’s worldwide release on October 15.

So if you haven’t read the books yet you better get started. That way you can keep up with the action on screen and won’t miss out on seeing your imaginings brought to life!
