Carey Mulligan and Kristen Stewart are the latest Hollywood starlets to be fighting it out for a career enhancing role. As Hollywood often does, it is jumping on the “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” band wagon by remaking the Swedish cult film for a more main stream audience.
Here at MDQ, we’re not complaining. We love Kristen but think that Carey Mulligan is amazing, either actresses will do the role justice. The Sun newspaper claim that the two actresses are the front-runners to play Lisbeth Salender, a bisexual computer hacker. The movie will be directed by Fight Club’s David Fincher and is set to be one hell of a mystery thriller. According to a source, ”It’s an edgy, sexy, demanding role which would have been perfect for Angelina Jolie – if she was only ten years younger, so the very best twenty-something actresses around today are in the frame – and that’s a very short list.”
Kristen Stewart is no stranger to working with Fincher as she starred in the Jodie Foster hit, Panic Room, back in 2002. Mulligan has in the past admitted being obsessed with Stried Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy and would be over the moon to play Salender in the Hollywood remake.
