Highlights
- Actor Daniel Craig says he tried to inject some normalcy to the character of journalist Mikael Blomkvist in his forthcoming film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
- Craig, 43, who is famous for playing the flamboyant James Bond, has received positive reviews from critics for his portrayal of Blomkvist, Ace Showbiz reported.
- "I wanted to look as much like a normal guy as possible. This guy is a journalist and he works very hard and maybe drinks a little too much, but when the thriller aspect of this movie kicks in, I wanted him to be in danger," he said.
- Based on writer Stieg Larsson's crime thriller trilogy The Millenium Series, the film unravels the mystery surrounding the long-unsolved disappearance of an heiress as a journalist recently dinged by a libel case and a young female hacker team up to resolve it, stirring up bundles of personal and industrial corruption along the way.
- "Look, I'm a [director] David Fincher fan, so it was an easy choice to make when accepting this film. It's a great story. It's an adult movie. The babysitters are going to get, hopefully, a lot of money out of this film," he said.
