Daniel Craig is impressed with David Fincher...

...especially how he's handled the violence in their upcoming remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Collider has the story:

Daniel Craig hasn’t been seen in theaters since 2008′s Defiance but he’ll have four films coming to us this year. In a few weeks we’ll see him in Cowboys & Aliens, he’s got the horror flick Dream House in September, he did motion capture for Steven Spielberg’s The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, and he wraps up the year with David Fincher’s adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. He can expect plenty of questions about Bond 23 and we can expect that he’ll answer almost none of them. However, he is willing to talk Dragon Tattoo in an awkwardly written quasi-interview with Esquire.

Hit the jump to read what Craig had to say about the adult-nature of the film and how Fincher is handling the violence in the story. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo opens December 21st.

Could David Fincher be fully embracing his dark side again?

Vulture has this to say:

With The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, David Fincher seems to be emerging from his Oscar-bait phase and re-indulging in his love of dark thrillers. And now Vulture hears that Fincher has just optioned Jason Starr’s 2009 macabre crime novel Panic Attack, about a New York shrink who shoots and kills a home intruder, then faces a media frenzy and the victim's vengeful accomplice. We're also told that Fincher has set Ocean’s Eleven and Tower Heist screenwriter Ted Griffin to adapt the book.

We hear Panic Attack will be part of Fincher’s recently formed company, Panic Pictures. (Boy, factor in Panic Room and this guy really has a thing about that word.) His company is set up at Media Rights Capital, the production and financing entity that allows filmmakers to retain ownership of their films while getting major Hollywood studios to bid on distributing the movies for a fee.

Speaking of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo...here's the International Poster!

Yes, the marketing is slowly coming out now, though it's still up for debate as to how much is viral. I like the look of the poster very much, completely feeling like a "David Fincher" movie, though I recognize that the domestic ones will not be quite the same. It's a slightly adult image, so you can see the poster (and a second one) after the jump...

Behold the Green Band Trailer for the remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Here you go:

-Thoughts?

Is the "leak" of the Red Band 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' Trailer just viral marketing?

As you all know, I wasn't going to post the trailer, sticking to my guns of not supporting piracy. However, a few reports (like this one here) have pegged it as a controlled leak of sorts, considering that the video hasn't been taken down. Now, I still normally would just wait the extra 3 days and simply post the official Green Band trailer for you all, but at the off chance this version is different than the one coming this week, I decided to bite my tongue and post it. Especially in case some of you haven't seen it yet, I figured it wasn't fair to be a stubborn ass about it. So, here you go:

-Thoughts?

Don't look for the Red Band 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' Trailer here just yet...

...as I'm not posting the bootleg one like some other sites are. The official trailer will be out in a matter of days (and some of those unlucky enough to have been swindled into seeing 'The Hangover Part II' have seen the trailer as well), so just sit tight. Soon enough, we'll be seeing a nice crisp look at David Fincher's vision of these books, so stay tuned!

-If you've seen the trailer already though, feel free to sound off on what you thought...or just hold your tongue until the real one is out.
