I wrote last week about the subtitled Swedish film version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which just opened in New York. As sure as there’s a Scott Rudin in heaven, somebody is already casting the Hollywood version of this picture. But who could possibly be as good as Nooni Rapace was in the role of Lisbeth Salander? Or as fine as Michael Nyquist was at playing her supporter and lover, the journalist Mikael Blomkvist? Or as excellent as the great Swedish actor Sven-Bertil Taub, who portrays Heinrich Vanger, the man who gets this whole story rolling?
Well, here’s your chance to choose your favorite actors for the American version of Dragon Tattoo. Click the Comments tab at the end of this post to tell us who should star. How about Beyonce as Salander, Jeff Bridges as Blomkvist, and Kris Kristofferson as Vanger?

For the US remake of GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO I'd go definatly with -
Beyonce as Salander
Jeff Bridges [or Harrison Ford] as Blomkvist
Kris Kristofferson [or Edward James Olomos] as Vanger
But knowing Hollywood, we'll get
Whoopi Goldberg as Salander
Steven Segal as Blomkvist
Vin Diesel as Henrik Vanger

Beyonce? Good God no.About 10 years too old for one. And shes never had to carry a dramatic movie and I doubt she can based on her previous film work.
I think Ali must be speaking tongue in cheek. Beyonce is about as far away from the dark, brooding, layered, complex, Lisbeth Salander as an actor could get...
Then again, maybe Ali just wants to see Beyonce get stark naked in a few scenes :-)
Another scary suggestion/rumour that was doing the rounds a few months back when the news first broke in Europe re: the Hollywood deal, was Kristen Stewart of the tween hit Twilight series had been linked to the role:

Yikes - though to be fair, she would be better than Beyonce. Sorry Ali.
