"Scarlett Johansson was great. It was a great audition, I'm telling you. But the thing with Scarlett is, you can't wait for her to take her clothes off" says Fincher.
Fincher decided upon Rooney Mara because of her interpretation of the Salander character. "Salander should be like E.T….There were all these different versions of Salander, but the one that had the most layers was Rooney's. I kept coming back to this" he says.
To get Mara cast he had to fight with the studio suits- "I had said so often, '[Mara] is the one I want'. They said, 'No. You are being obstinate. Move on'. And I said, 'Nope'. Part of me wanted that last puppy that nobody else did. I didn't want the consensus. I wanted the person that made everybody go, 'Really?' I needed that."
The story follows a disgraced journalist (Daniel Craig) and a misunderstood rebellious female hacker (Mara) investigating the 40-year-old disappearance of retired industrialist Henrik Vanger's niece on a remote island. Their investigation uncover religious killings, Nazism, rape, child abuse and murder.
