Girl Who Played With Fire

The movie “The Girl Who Played With Fire” reunites Noomi Rapace as Lisbeth, the troubled, wise-beyond-her-years genius hacker, along with Michael Nyqvist who again portrays Mikael Blomkvist, the crusading journalist cum amateur sleuth. This time, the pair investigates a suspected sex-trafficking operation with underage girls in Sweden. When Lisbeth is accused of three murders, she goes on the lam while Blomkvist tries to clear her name. But can he do it before it’s too late and is Lisbeth really as innocent as he thinks?

The film adaptation will be released by Music Box Films on October 15, 2010.All three movies will be remade into English, and will star Oscar nominees Carey Mulligan, Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp.
