The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is headed to your home in March

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

Even though she’s only lived in theaters for barely a month, David Fincher’s THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO is already pushing for a date in your home. And who are you to turn her down?

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will release the thriller on MARCH 20th. So far the only known supplement is an audio commentary by David Fincher. That’s pretty awesome, and I’m sure more will be revealed as we inch closer to the film’s MARCH 20th release date.

Hoping to distance himself from the fallout of a libel conviction, journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) retreats to a remote island in Sweden’s far north where the unsolved murder of a young girl still haunts her industrialist uncle forty years later. Ensconced in a cottage on the island where the killer may still roam, Blomkvist’s investigation draws him into the secrets and lies of the rich and powerful, and throws him together with one unlikely ally tattooed, punk hacker, Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara).

Personally, while I found it to be overlong with a messy third act, I can see watching many portions of TGWTDT over and over again. It will be worth at least one revisit just to study Fincher’s mastery of the visuals; surely he’s one of the greatest living directors when it comes to the composition of a sequence. What do you think..?
