Why try to remake a perfectly good Swedish movie. And furthermore: stop with the fucking vampires already! Let's move back towards pirateninjazombiehookerbots, which is what we all really want anyway.
I think filming the book would be too disturbing for Hollywood. There ain't gunna be no toothless child prostitutes hanging out in libraries. That's just too fucked up for American audiences. This version is gunna SUCK some balls...
I have a feeling they're going to stick much closer to the book in this version, which means we'll be seeing a lot more of mangled, half-faced Hakan.
