Few literary tales are as bittersweet as the real-life story of author Stieg Larsson—the Swedish journalist who became a world-wide bestselling author only after his death in 2004. If you've wandered through a Barnes and Noble in the last couple of years, you've no doubt spotted the green and yellow-dappled cover of his mega-successful crime drama "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo." Though a movie version of the book was released earlier this year in Europe, according to Variety, Sony has nabbed the English-language screen rights for the film with plans to produce it for an American audience.
The first novel and its sequels "The Girl Who Played With Fire" and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest” (known collectively as the "Millenium Trilogy") follow journalist Mikael Blomkvist and computer hacker Lisbeth Salander as they solve crimes in Sweden. A source Variety spoke with for its story called Lisbeth "one of the most compelling characters in contemporary fiction.” And it's true. She's intelligent, clever and doesn't take B.S. from anybody, which got us wondering who could bring this complex character to life.
Thus, another edition of Hollywood Crush's Casting Couch!
