The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo/Stieg Larsson News

Stieg Larsson becomes first author to sell 1m ebooks on Amazon

The late Swedish journalist Stieg Larsson has beaten Stephenie Meyer and James Patterson to become the first author to sell more than one million ebooks on Amazon.

The online retailer said yesterday that Larsson, author of the Millennium trilogy, had become the first member of its new “Kindle Million Club”, for authors whose work has sold over a million copies in Amazon’s Kindle store in the US. The crime novelist is likely to be joined by thriller writer Patterson – Amazon said last week that it had sold over 860,000 of his ebooks – while Twilight scribe Meyer, Sookie Stackhouse creator Charlaine Harris and queen of romantic suspense Nora Roberts have each sold more than 500,000 Kindle books in the US.

The novelist’s three books – The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest – currently top Amazon’s Kindle bestseller list, and are also in the top 10 bestselling Kindle books of all time, according to the retailer.

Quercus has sold 3.3m copies of Larsson’s books in the UK, and estimates that worldwide sales of the three novels are somewhere between 35-40m copies, “but they are literally selling too fast to count”, said Millar.

Daniel Craig Confirmed for Dragon Tattoo and Sequels

ComingSoon.net has confirmed that Daniel Craig will star in David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, based on Stieg Larsson’s posthumously published crime thriller trilogy, “The Millennium Series.” The deal includes two sequels based on The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest.

Adapted by Steve Zaillian, “Dragon Tattoo” describes the mystery surrounding the long-unsolved disappearance of an heiress. Journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Craig), recently dinged by a libel case, and young female hacker Lisbeth Salander try to resolve it, stirring up bundles of personal and industrial corruption along the way. The role of Salander has not been cast yet.

Scott Rudin is producing “Dragon Tatoo,” which Columbia Pictures will release on December 21, 2011.

Director Niels Arden Oplev’s Swedish adaptation of the book, starring Noomi Rapace, has earned an impressive $101.7 million worldwide. The follow-up, The Girl Who Played with Fire, has taken in $54 million so far. The third installment, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest, has not been released here yet.

Craig is currently filming Jon Favreau’s Cowboys & Aliens.

Dragon Tattoo Star Narrowed to Final Four

Any day now, director David Fincher will change a young actress’ life by giving her the starring role in the latest hyper-anticipated movie franchise: the English-language adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s blockbuster crime thriller The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

The Daily Beast has learned exclusively that the role of brilliant hacker Lisbeth Salander has been narrowed down to four virtually unknown actresses:

Australians Sophie Lowe, starring in the forthcoming thriller Blame,

Sarah Snook, (Sleeping Beauty),

American Rooney Mara, who co-stars in Fincher’s upcoming Facebook film The Social Network,

and French actress Lea Seydoux, who appeared in Inglourious Basterds and Robin Hood.

Not one of the early contenders seems to have made the cut. Not Natalie Portman, Carey Mulligan, Ellen Page, Mia Wasikowska, Emily Browning, nor even Fincher’s favorite, the pixie South African rapper Yo-Landi Vi$$er. They have all been passed over for various reasons: too old. Too tall. Too famous. Or just not interested. (That would be Vi$$er.)

Fincher screen-tested the four actresses last Thursday, after putting out the word that no one over 24 years old or taller than 5-foot-5 would be seriously considered. (In the books, Larsson describes Lisbeth as a 24-year old who sometimes looks 14.) And he preferred unknowns. Not long after that, Portman, 29, and Mulligan, who stands 5-foot-7, told reporters they weren’t in the running for the part. Meanwhile, the Oscar-nominated Page, who is 23 and 5-foot-1, was told to keep working on her Swedish accent, despite the fact that Fincher’s “unknown” mandate seemed to nix her chances. Browning, who is 21 and meets the physical requirements, is still talking to filmmakers but not among the top contenders.

It’s a real nail-biter for a small clutch of Hollywood agents, each of them wondering who will hit the movie-making lottery. “This is the biggest role for an actress in the last five or six years,” one agent noted. “If the movie works and the actress is good, it’s a role they could be [Oscar] nominated for. And it’s a big global footprint to get other jobs. It’s a game changer.”

The well-reviewed Swedish film adaptation of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, released first in 2009 and this year in the U.S., was the highest grossing Swedish film ever made and has already earned more than $100 million worldwide. It swept this year’s Guldebagge Awards—the Swedish Oscars—earning best film, fan favorite and Noomi Rapace, who played Salander, a best actress award. With the full force of the Hollywood machine behind a Columbia Pictures adaptation, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo could make a Twilight-level impact on audiences.

Fans felt the Swedish adaptations of the three movies (led by Tattoo’s Danish director Niels Arden Oplev) were sufficiently faithful to the books. Some even hoped Rapace would reprise her role for the Hollywood remakes. In a March poll by Music Box Films, the U.S. distributor of the Swedish movies, 68 percent of respondents voted for Rapace to play Salander again.Ellen Page came in a distant second. “Noomi Rapace IS Lisbeth Salander,” Maryland fan Mary-Lynn Ragot told The Daily Beast.

In terms of plot and storytelling, American fans want the movies to take place in Sweden—which they will—with a script as faithful to the books as possible. And they don’t want Fincher to shy away from Larsson’s strong themes and storylines—specifically, the graphic rape scene and Salander’s reaction to it.

So far, the studio, Fincher, and his producers are keeping the lid on the script. Actresses who screen-tested for the role were given select pages for the audition. And no one with the production is talking. (Reps for Fincher, producer Scott Rudin, and Pascal all declined to be interviewed for this story.)

“It’s Fincher,” said one Hollywood insider. “He’s going to do his own thing. And what that means I have no idea.”

David Beckham 'Tattoo' T-shirts – Musicrooms.net

Tattoo Design — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 19:21:16 +0000

27/07/2010

David Beckham’s tattooist has launched a range of T-shirts featuring some of the star’s tattoo designs.

Lou Malloy, who is based in Manchester, is offering fans the chance to buy T-shirts with Beckham’s guardian angel tattoo on them.

The tattooist told how the design was first meant to be without wings but he then suggested he added them, and Beckham loved the idea.

He said: “David gave the brief that he wanted an image of a man with his arms outstretched and his head bowed forward. What immediately came to mind to me was the classic Olympic diver pose.

“As I was drawing it out, I thought it would look good with wings. When David saw the design he was absolutely bowled over by it and said: ‘That’s the one.’ The rest, as they say, is history.”

Lindsay Lohan New Pre-Jail Tattoo – PHOTOS | Hollywood Dame

Tattoo Design — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:20:56 +0000

Published on July 26, 2010 by Cara Harrington · No Comments

Before Lindsay Lohan was carted off to jail again, she was sporting a very light tattoo on her left arm. It is said to be of an innocent little girl angel. Ok…

“At first glance, it appears to be a bruise on LiLo’s upper left arm — but the mark is actually the tattooed outline of a little girl with her eyes closed. We’re told Lohan first went under the needle at the Shamrock Social Club tattoo parlor in Hollywood just a few weeks ago — and ironically chose the image because “she liked the innocence of the girl.”

Apparently this is just the start of the tattoo. It reminds me of Cheese Toastie Jesus. It takes you a few seconds to see it.

Who Stands Behind Celebrity Tattoo Designs? « Simple Way to Life

Tattoo Design — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 16:23:58 +0000

Looks are very important for celebrities. You may not think much of them in terms of their habits, life style or intellectual level but you must admit that they know how to adorn their bodies. They do it not only by means of designer clothes and exclusive jewelry but also by tattooing different images on their bodies. You will find the most beautiful tattoos on celebrities. The best tattoo specialists work with celebrities. They can offer them both unique tattoo designs and the highest quality and safety of work. We must admit that tattoos look amazing on those toned and well-shaped celebrity bodies.

There is lots of information about celebrities and their tattoos. But there is much less information about tattoo artists who created those amazing designs for celebrities. Who are the people behind celebrity tattoos? Mr. Cartoon is probably the most famous tattoo artists today. He works in Los Angeles close to celebrities. He won his popularity by creating some amazing tattoos admired by lots of people. His outstanding designs can be seen on the backs, arms, shoulders and other body parts of the most popular celebrities. Beyonce, Eminem and Justin Timberlake proudly display tattoos designed by Mr. Cartoon.

Another popular Hollywood tattoo artist is Kat von D. She is known both for her tattoo designs and her looks. She has a great number of tattoos designed by her on her own body. What better advertisement could a tattoo artist think of? Her tattoos can be seen on such celebrities as Jenna Jameson and Kirk Hammett.

Today we can say that David Beckham has made Louis Molloy really popular. Many designs of this tattoo artist decorate David’s wonderful body. Those spectacular religious designs that are tattooed on Beckham’s back were all created by Louis Molloy.

Rihanna often uses the services of a tattoo studio BangBang in New York. It is the place where she got that gun and ‘Shhh’ tattoo. Quite creative!

Kevin Quinn is also very popular in celebrity circle. His designs are admired by many celebrities. A lot of rock bands like Guns n’ Roses got their tattoos done by him. Recently he has tattooed the names of Julia Robert’s kids on her lower back – another splash of popularity among Hollywood elite.

There are many other celebrity tattoo artists but the ones mentioned above can be truly considered the most successful. These people have worked hard to earn their social standing and benevolence of celebrities. Their work might only seem easy but it takes much expert work to create a nice design. There were numerous examples when celebrities couldn’t get a good tattoo notwithstanding their status and money. Eva Longoria, Megan Fox had a very unpleasant experience with tattoo artists. That is why those who are really professional and responsible about their work are much appreciated by celebrities.

Movies are an integral part of our everyday life and culture. Up to date there has been produced an immense quantity of films and it resulted in the need in movie reviews. Web project called Ology will help you.

So, if you want to stay tuned to the latest buzz from the film world, then use this easy tip: never forget that today the web technologies give you a really unique chance to choose what you want at the best terms which are available on the market. Funny, but most of the people don’t use this chance.

Unfortunately, as many other industries today, movie industry is facing big problems due to the world crisis. Search Google or other search engines for “emo hair style“. Visit social networks and check the relevant topics. Go to forums and join the discussions. All this will help you get a true vision of the situation.

'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' Is All-Time Top Seller On Kindle

Tattoo Design — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 15:20:25 +0000

NEW YORK — It’s electronic milestone time for Stieg Larsson’s Millennium trilogy.

The late Swedish author’s blockbuster thrillers have sold more than 1 million copies in the e-book editions, publisher Alfred A. Knopf said Wednesday, making him at least the second author to join the e-million club. The ultra-prolific James Patterson also has more than 1 million e-book sales.

Amazon.com, the biggest player in the growing e-book market, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Larsson’s “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” the first book in the Millennium trilogy, is the all-time top seller on the e-book reading device the Kindle. Kathryn Stockett’s novel “The Help” is No. 2.

Knopf lauded the sales of “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” about a journalist and a tattooed investigator trying to solve a decades-old disappearance.

“We are witnessing record-breaking sales for `The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ in trade and mass market paperback as well as in audio, so it is not surprising that this trend is being mirrored with e-books,” Knopf spokesman Paul Bogaards said.

“Dragon Tattoo” has sold 500,000 e-books, Bogaards said. Sales for the trilogy in all editions top 30 million worldwide; in the U.S. alone, more than 400,000 copies are selling each week.

Bogaards also backed up a report earlier this week by Amazon that said the Internet retail giant was selling more e-books than hardcovers. Kindle sales for the most recent Larsson book, “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest,” have topped those for the hardcover, said Bogaards, who added that he did not think hardcover sales had been hurt by the less expensive e-edition.

Larsson does not top every list. A spokesman for Sony’s e-book reading device, the Sony Reader, said Wednesday that “Dragon Tattoo” was the e-device’s No. 2 all-time seller, trailing Dan Brown’s “The Lost Symbol.” Patterson’s “Alex Cross” is No. 3.

Award Winning Tattoo Design for Everyone | Tattoo Designs

Tattoo Design — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 14:23:35 +0000

What is tattoo? Tattoo is a mark made by inserting pigment into the skin; in technical terms, tattooing is dermal pigmentation. This sort of marking can be made on human or animal skin. Tattoos on humans are a type of body modification, while tattoos on animals are most mainly used for identification or branding.

Tattooing has been practiced worldwide. The Ainu, the indigenous people of Japan, wore facial tattoos. Tattooing was widespread among Polynesian peoples, and among certain tribal groups in the Philippines, Borneo, Africa, North America, South America, Mesoamerica, Europe, Japan, Cambodia and China. Despite some taboos surrounding tattooing, the art continues to be popular all over the world.

It has been around for thousands of years and has a direct link to culture and symbolism of each culture. Tattooing has been a Eurasian practice at least since Neolithic times. Even mummies also bearing tattoos and dating from the end of the second millennium BC have been discovered at Pazyryk on the Ukok Plateau. In Japan it is thought to go back to the Paleolithic era, some ten thousand years ago. Various other cultures have had their own tattoo traditions, ranging from rubbing cuts and other wounds with ashes, to hand-pricking the skin to insert dyes.

In the past tattoo served as rites of passage, marks of status and rank, symbols of religious and spiritual devotion, decorations for bravery, sexual lures and marks of fertility, pledges of love, punishment, amulets and talismans, protection, and as the marks of outcasts, slaves and convicts. The symbolism and impact of tattoos varies in different places and cultures, sometimes with unintended consequences. For example shamrock tattoos are believed to belong exclusively to the Aryan Brotherhood (within their range of the US prison system), but on the streets of America a shamrock tattoo can stand for whatever the wearer wants it to.

Today, people choose to be tattooed for cosmetic, sentimental/memorial, religious, and magical reasons, and to symbolize their belonging to or identification with particular groups (see Criminal tattoos). Tattoos of favorite bands and football teams’ logos are fairly common in the west.[citation needed] Some M?ori still choose to wear intricate moko on their faces. In Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand, the yantra tattoo is used for protection.

Now tattoos are used more as expressions of character. People find that being able to put what they find important in their lives on themselves for others to see is part of their freedom of speech. There are many various type of tattoo design. People see tattoos as an art and design.
