"Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" First Official Teaser Trailer

Sony has finally released the first official trailer for David Fincher's highly anticipated Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. This comes after last weekend's "leak" of the redband trailer that had everyone talking. There are suspicions that Sony leaked the trailer themselves in order to gain buzz on the Internet, and obviously, it worked, because it spread like wildfire. That's not to say we haven't all been waiting with nail biting anticipation for the trailer anyway. Everyone knew from the get-go that this movie would be huge considering David Fincher's theatrical style when given these kinds of juicy movie plots, and judging by the trailer, we probably won't be disappointed by the outcome, especially if Karen O continues to collaborate with Trent Reznor on the score and soundtrack. No disappointment here. None. Nada. Zilch. Karen O's cover of Led Zepplin's "Immigrant Song" is INSANE. Fincher's direction isn't so shabby either.

Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is based on the wildly popular Millennium Trilogy books by Stieg Larrson. The books have since been adapted into movies by the Swedish cinema, but this is the first American adaptation with David Fincher directing, Rooney Mara starring, and score produced by Trent Reznor, all of whom worked with Fincher on his last Academy Award nominated feature, The Social Network.

Here's the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo book synopsis from Amazon.com:
Harriet Vanger, a scion of one of Sweden’s wealthiest families disappeared over forty years ago. All these years later, her aged uncle continues to seek the truth. He hires Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently trapped by a libel conviction, to investigate. He is aided by the pierced and tattooed punk prodigy Lisbeth Salander. Together they tap into a vein of unfathomable iniquity and astonishing corruption.

Girl With The Dragon Tattoo releases in the US on December 21, 2011.

Check out the trailer below. It doesn't explain anything plot-wise, but it sure as hell looks cool, and I guess David Fincher can get away with that.
