So I paid no attention. And from watching that trailer for it, I'm expecting even less of it now. I'll probably wait until it gets shown for free on TV on a rainy night when I can't be bothered to change channels.<br /><br />I shudder to think about the Hollywood ending.glornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995252704716553516.post-5437421011342503152013-09-08T16:16:56.320+01:002013-09-08T16:16:56.320+01:00Haha!

Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and Let The Right One In were remade so quickly after the originals, it seemed it was purely so that an English version (other than dubbed) would be available.
