Currently, Craig stars in David Fincher’s adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s novel The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, playing the male protagonist Mikael Blomkvist, a discredited journalist hired—at least on the surface—to write the memoirs of Swedish industrialist Henrik Vanger (Christopher Plummer). The actor imbues Blomkvist with a blend of gravitas and confidence, seemingly shaken only when a bullet nearly takes his head off, but deeply stirred by his brilliant, but deeply troubled research assistant Lisbeth (Rooney Mara). It’s a perfect role for Craig, playing the humbled successful journalist who uncovers more than he’d hoped on a small island off the Swedish coast.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo will be released on Blu-ray and DVD March 20, and is now available for pre-order.
