There is only one Lisbeth Salander!

Rooney Mara is the actress who are portraying Lisbeth Salander in the Hollywood remakes of the Swedish film-trilogy based on Stieg Larsson's books.

It is, as usual that Hollywood can not leave perfectly good films alone but has to come along and ruin them it hurts when you see one of your favorite fictional characters becoming someone you do not recognize.

Noomi Rapace will alway be the Lisbeth Salander loved by those who like the movies.

Haven't we seen Hollywood ruin enough movies for us now?
I wonder why there even is a remake market for foreign films. As I see it, they do the remake, and people forget the original, or don't even know there is a original film. Is this because Hollywood is so scared that they will loose their status within the film-industry? Or are Americans to lazy to read the subtitles?
I doubt that any country ever will have as enormous film-industry as there are in Hollywood, even if they stopped doing remakes on foreign films.

While Noomi Rapace looks like a bad ass, as Lisbeth is, Mara looks like a wannabe-rock star.
Lisbeth Salander is not just dark clothes and lots of make-up, Lisbeth is a broken person, and that's the most important part, I doubt anyone could do that as good as Noomi does.
Also, this is bothering in the question: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/jacketcopy/2011/10/hm-girl-with-the-dragon-tattoo.html. Why do one need a clothes collection to look like Lisbeth Salander? (I guess the american version of her). 

After watching the trailer one wonder, have they actually changed anything, or is it exactly the same, and in that case, wouldn't it have been cheaper to subtitle the original film? Is it really such a bother for American people to watch something from another culture than their own? Is it so hard to understand the context of objects and people, as we always have to do as most of the films shown worldwide are recorded in an american context, even though the settings might be from somewhere else?

No, there is only one, Lisbeth Salander.

(I will most probably come back to this subject when the remakes have hit Sweden around Christmas)

Personal trivia:
I have known for a while that the film was going to be made, and I hated the idea, always wondering what idiot director that's going to ruin my love for films this time. Today (27th October 2011) I checked, and realized that the director of this film is the director of many films I dislike, and he is using Brad Pitt in many of them. This can not become more horrible...
Also, I dislike Daniel Craig, he ruined James Bond for me...

One of the trailers for the film.
The dialog are awful! I mean really, really awful!
Thank you Hollywood, for ruining a perfectly good film! It's appreciated.
