The Girl with the Pirated DVD-R

Sony's DVD release of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has confused some Redbox customers in the States due to the "pirated look" of the disc:

While I appreciate this from a design perspective, it's interesting and curious that a major studio would want to associate their product with piracy at all, even if it's in the spirit of the movie's rebellious, computer-hacking protagonist. Not sure if the NZ release will have the same design, but if it does, just so you know here first: we're not sending out pirated discs of the movie.

Trailer: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

The first trailer for David Fincher's remake for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has arrived. It's just a green-band trailer, so no sexy and violent stuff. Not sure how I feel about this one: I'll probably check it out because of Fincher's involvement, but it looks almost exactly like the original film, maybe with added Fincher-esque visual sleekness. Funny how it's being sold here as "The Feel Bad Movie of Christmas" - will this really put bums on seats? Anyway, everyone knows the books now and the remake will be welcome for those subtitle-averse viewers.
