God, I’m torn by this movie. By all accounts, based on the early reception to the film, this is everything I feared it would be: a generic thriller with a superhero of a lead. In addition to the meditative pacing of the David Fincher film, there was a real heft to the details behind the mystery being solved, and I can’t help but feel like that’ll be lost in The Girl in the Spider’s Web. But I’m still excited to see it.

Sony just released a new clip for the film, and it does seem to highlight a lot of my fears. It’s basically a typical thriller action scene, with there being a lot of high-tech s**t going on. Salander looks up at the camera, which, I guess, triggers some airport jail cell doors getting opened. She has a conversation on the phone with the American she helped escape all while dodging airport security. It’s cool and well-made, but I can’t help but feel a lot of the grit and heaviness of the David Fincher film have been lost in favor of something more accessible…I’ll still see it though.
