The Girl In The Spider's Web

Author Stieg Larsson created one of the most indelible characters in Lisbeth Salander, a hacker who is also the ultimate warrior when it comes to seeking justice for victims of horrendous crimes. Although Larsson passed away, his character lives on in a new book (written by another author) and now a new movie called The Girl In The Spider's Web.

I'm glad to see Lisbeth return, especially since it looks like she will be the focal point of this story, which she should be, because she's such a fascinating person. Claire Foy (The Crown) will be playing her this time. Rooney Mara played Lisbeth in the 2011 remake of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, directed by David Fincher. Noomi Rapace was the first (and best, IMO) actress to play Lisbeth in the original Swedish films based on Larsson's first three books.

There's also a scene in the trailer showing a woman trapped in a vacuum sealed mummified suit.

Is this Lisbeth? We'll see soon enough when the film comes out. I'm looking forward to this one, even if it didn't have a scene of interest.
