The first in the Millennium Trilogy, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has ignited a worldwide phenomenon. Penned by the late Swedish author Stieg Larsson, the international bestseller follows Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist as they solve a disturbing murder mystery. The books were adapted into Swedish films in 2009. And while they performed decently, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was again adapted for film—this time in English—in 2011. Directed by David Fincher, the U.S. version has received a great deal of critical acclaim. Audiences love it, too. So much so that Sony has approved adaptations of the remaining two books. Enhancing the electrifying film is a score produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross—the team who won the Oscar for Best Score for Fincher’s The Social Network.
