Book to Movie: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo- us remake

There is a really HOT buzz going around about this movie I don't know if we will be going to see it or boycott it ?!?!?!?

"The director of the original Swedish version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has questioned the need for the upcoming American remake, reigniting a long-running war of words over Hollywood raiding foreign language films to repackage them for a global audience.

Film-maker Niels Arden Oplev expressed anger at plans to cast an American actor in the lead role of Lisbeth Salander, drawing unflattering comparisons with the Hollywood adaptation of the French film La Femme Nikita, which was poorly received when remade as The Assassin, starring Bridget Fonda in the 1990s.
He told the Word & Film website: "Even in Hollywood there seems to be a kind of anger about the remake; like, 'Why would they remake something when they can just go see the original?'
"It's like, what do you want to see – the French version of La Femme Nikita or the American one?"
