In the interim, he takes on the investigation of a 40 year-old disappearance case on behalf of the wealthy Henrik Vanger (Plummer) of Vanger Industries.

@corey it's annoying when some people think this is a remake when clearly it's an "American Adaptation". I'm buying this because it's not only a great movie, but Christ man, look at all those bonus features!! 4hours! I'm in Heaven.

@moviewiz001 Not on all the posters. I must have missed this one. Anyways, for my favorite film of the year I'd like a better cover. Something darker and to have more to do with the tattoo!

@bawnian-dexeus Yep. These movies aren't remakes though :P Its America's adaptation of the books, not the foreign-language movie.

@corey Good news is, the movie made like 80 million in profits. I guess we got ourselves the second remake. DVD sales should boost the profits a bit
