Yep, it's a clinic in adaptation to boot.

I don't mind them making an English language version, but the Swedish Lisbeth will be very hard to match. I think they have committed to shooting in Sweden, though, so that's good. Some of the most important parts of her and Mikael's characters are defined by their previous interaction with the Swedish state, and I don't think it would be easy to set it in the US in particular.

I've been waiting for the Rio to get the second one. What market you live in?
I am actually interested to see the English version because the books are dark and Americans usually dumb down their versions. So, we shall see.

I hadn't heard that casting note either. Weird, I'm usually up on that stuff.
I would, however, be surprised if Natalie Portman didn't get the lead. She wants to do it, she's got the build, and she's shown she can do darker/challenging roles (V for Vendetta). Of course, they could go "unknown". Personally, I didn't quite like the Swedish cast of Lisbeth but it was acceptable.

I think it only seems long because of the exposition it must get across for the bookend pieces that are 2 and 3. It does drag in the middle slightly, I'll agree.
Have either of you guys read the books?
