Trailer - "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo"

I wouldn't usually put up a leaked trailer but something about this is different. Firstly it's picture is kept pretty clear throughout and secondly it's sound is near perfect. Now, the added fact that this trailer has been up for over a day now and has not been taken down by Sony, seems to me like it is an intentional release from them. Either way, there is no denying that the trailer is pretty fantastic, sampling Karen O and Trent Reznor's cover of Led Zepplin's 'Immigrant Song' to fantastic effect. Director David Fincher is hot off his mega success with "The Social Network" so there's plenty to suggest here that he will following that film up with style in the genre that made his name in the first place. My only problems with this film stems from the fact that the original Swedish film was only released in 2009. There really is no need for a remake so soon for a film that was already a huge success, catapulting star Noomi Rapace to International stardom. My second problem is that small bit more worrying: I simply did not think the original film was anything special at all in the first place. Don't get me wrong, it was a perfectly serviceable thriller with a fantastic heroine but nothing truly remarkable at all by any means, and is something that to me at least seems far below Fincher's prowess. Let's hope I am proven wrong - The film is released on December 26th this year.
*Update:
Sony have pulled the shaky cam leak and have released an official green band trailer in its place. Much of what made that last trailer so great remains, albeit with no violence or nudity. File under 'more than intrigued' for now....
