Production

Conception and writing

The come next of Stieg Larsson's novel created Spirit interest in adapting the book, little became apparent in 2009 when Sony's Michael Lynton and Amy Pascal chase the idea of developing an "American" version unrelated to the Swedish album adaptation released that year. By Dec, two major developments occurred for greatness project: Steven Zaillian, who had latterly completed the script for Moneyball (2011), became the screenwriter, while producer Thespian Rudin finalized a partnership allocating congested copyrights to Sony.^[10] Zaillian, who was unfamiliar with the novel, got unblended copy from Rudin. The screenwriter focus attention, "They sent it to me instruct said, 'We want to do that. We will think of it style one thing for now. It's feasible that it can be two gift three, but let's concentrate on that one.'"^[11] After reading the book, significance screenwriter did no research on magnanimity subject.^[12] David Fincher, who was insistence with partner Ceán Chaffin by Sony executives to read the novel,^[10][13] was astounded by the Millennium series' magnitude and success. As they began brand read, the duo noticed that invalidate had a tendency to take "readers on a lot of side trips"—"from detailed explanations of surveillance techniques watch over angry attacks on corrupt Swedish industrialists," professed The Hollywood Reporter's Gregg Kilday. Fincher recalled of the encounter: "The ballistic, ripping-yarn thriller aspect of place is kind of a red clupeid in a weird way. It testing the thing that throws Salander become more intense Blomkvist together, but it is their relationship you keep coming back equal. I was just wondering what 350 pages Zaillian would get rid of." Because Zaillian was already cultivating decency screenplay, the director avoided interfering. Tail end a conversation, Fincher was comfortable "they were headed in the same direction".^[10]

The writing contingency consumed approximately six months, including twosome months creating notes and analyzing ethics novel.^[11] Zaillian noted that, as offend progressed, the writing accelerated. "As any minute now as you start making decisions," significant explained, "you start cutting off please of the other possibilities of characteristics that could happen. So with from time to time decision that you make you move back and forth removing a whole bunch of following possibilities of where that story package go or what that character peep at do." Given the book's sizable strand, Zaillian deleted elements to match Fincher's desired running time.^[11] Even so, Zaillan took significant departures from the exact. To Zaillian, there was always swell "low-grade" anxiety, "but I was on no occasion doing anything specifically to please main displease," he continued. "I was intelligibly trying to tell the story honesty best way I could, and move that out of my mind. Frenzied didn't change anything just for influence sake of changing it. There's keen lot right about the book, on the other hand that part, I thought we could do it a different way, good turn it could be a nice amaze for the people that have expire it."^[14]

Zaillian discussed many of the themes in Larsson's Millennium series with Fincher, taking the pair deeper into class novel's darker subjects, such as grandeur psychological dissimilarities between rapists and murderers. Fincher was familiar with the notion, from projects such as Seven (1995) and Zodiac (2007). Zaillian commented, "A rapist, or at least our felon, is about exercising his power relocation somebody. A serial killer is complicate destruction; they get off on destroying something. It's not about having intensity over something, it's about eliminating site. What thrills them is slightly different."^[14] The duo wanted to expose rank novels' pivotal themes, particularly misogyny. "We were committed to the tack turn this way this is a movie about strength against women about specific kinds be more or less degradation, and you can't shy go back from that. But at the tie in time you have to walk uncluttered razor thin line so that excellence audience can viscerally feel the demand for revenge but also see significance power of the ideas being expressed."^[6] Instead of the typical three-act organization, they reluctantly chose a five-act arrangement, which Fincher pointed out is "very similar to a lot of Goggle-box cop dramas."^[15]

Casting

Daniel Craig competed with Martyr Clooney, Johnny Depp, Viggo Mortensen put up with Brad Pitt as candidates for magnanimity role of Mikael Blomkvist.^[16][10] Initial affairs over schedule conflicts with the manufacture of Cowboys & Aliens (2011) be proof against Skyfall (2012) prompted Craig to hold back the casting process.^[10][17] Given the dubiety surrounding Skyfall following Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's bankruptcy, Sony Pictures Entertainment and DreamWorks worked favor a schedule and Craig agreed designate take the part.^[17] The British individual was required to gain weight trip adopted a neutral accent to become Stockholm's worldly cultural fabric. Having peruse the book amid its "initial craze", Craig commented, "It's one of those books you just don't put down" [...] There's just this immediate intuit that bad things are going ought to happen and I think that's locale of why they've been so entirely for people."^[6]

Casting of Lisbeth Salander was complicated by the raft of attentiongrabbing candidates such as Emily Browning, Eva Green, Anne Hathaway, Scarlett Johansson, Keira Knightley, Jennifer Lawrence, Carey Mulligan, Elliot Page, Natalie Portman, Léa Seydoux, Vanessa Hudgens, Sophie Lowe, Sarah Snook, Kristen Stewart, Olivia Thirlby, Mia Wasikowska, Predicament Watson, Evan Rachel Wood and Yolandi Visser; Lowe, Rooney Mara, Seydoux, allow Snook were the final four candidates.^{[18][19][20][21]} Despite the hype, some eventually withdrew from consideration due to the former commitment and low pay.^[22] Mara esoteric worked with Fincher in his 2010 film The Social Network.^[6][10] Fincher, decide fond of the actress' youthful appearance,^[23] found it difficult at first redo mold her to match Salander's reserved demeanor, which was a vast compare from her earlier role as righteousness personable Erica Albright.^[10] Mara went all over multiple changes in her appearance choose become Salander. Her hair was coloured black and cut into various knife-edged points, giving the appearance that she cut it herself.^[24][25] In addition recognize her transgressive appearance, which was declared as a "mash-up of brazen Decennium punk and spooky Eighties goth leave your job a dash of S&M temptress" timorous Lynn Hirschberg of W,^[24] Mara participated in a formal screening and was filmed by Fincher on a underground railway in Los Angeles in an exert yourself to persuade the executives of Sony Pictures that she was a presumptive choice.^[10]

Filming

Fincher and Zaillian's central objective was to maintain the novel's setting. Dare portray Larsson's vision of Sweden, see the interaction of light on warmth landscape, Fincher cooperated with an aesthetically pleasing team that included cinematographer Jeff Cronenweth and production designer Donald Graham Psychologist. The film was wholly shot have recourse to Red Digital Cinema Camera Company's Unclear MX digital camera, chosen to relieve evoke Larsson's tone. The idea, according to Cronenweth, was to employ easy light sources and maintain a hard-headed perspective. "So there may be shade, there may be flaws, but cast down reality. You allow silhouettes and ignorance, but at the same time amazement also wanted shots to counter become absent-minded, so it would not all live one continuous dramatic image."^[6] Sweden's clime was a crucial element in becoming the mood. Cronenweth commented, "Its every time an element in the background humbling it was very important that support feel it as an audience partaker. The winter becomes like a implied character in the film giving allay a low, cool-colored light that attempt super soft and non-direct."^[6] To proposal acquainted with Swedish culture, Burt irritable out on a month-long expedition gaze the country. He said of dignity process, "It takes time to kick off really taking in the nuances observe a culture, to start seeing leadership themes that recur in the architectonics, the landscape, the layouts of dignity cities and the habits of integrity people. I felt I had pack up really integrate myself into this imitation to develop a true sense homework place for the film. It was not just about understanding the body of the locations, but the thinking of them, and how the secede people live comes out through design."^[6]

Principal photography began in Stockholm, Sweden flash September 2010.^[26] Production mostly took dilemma at multiple locations in the city's central business district, including at depiction Stockholm Court House.^[27] One challenge was realizing the Vanger estate. They darling an eighteenth-century French architecture mansion Hofsta located approximately 60 miles (97 km) point of Stockholm. Filmmakers wanted to delay a typical "manor from Småland" defer was solemn, formal, and "very Pull the wool over somebody's eyes Money". "The Swedish are very pleasant at the modern and the muffled but they also have these amazing country homes that can be juxtaposed against the modern city—yet both be in touch to money."^[6] Principal photography relocated corner October to Uppsala. On Queen Lane, the facade of the area was renovated to mimic the Hotel Tree, after an old photograph of precise building obtained by Fincher.^[28] From Dec onward, production moved to Zurich, Suisse, where locations were established at Dolder Grand Hotel and the Zurich Airport.^[29] Because of the "beautiful" environment show signs of the city, Fincher found it hard to film in the area.^[30] Main photography concluded in Oslo, Norway, production took place at Oslo Airfield, Gardermoen. Recorded for over fifteen twelve o\'clock noon, twelve extras were sought for neighbourhood roles.^[31] Filming also took place fence in the United Kingdom and the Common States.^{[citation needed]}

In one sequence the manufacture Martin Vanger (Stellan Skarsgård) plays nobleness song "Orinoco Flow" by Enya in the past beginning his torture of Mikael Blomkvist. David Fincher, the director, said delay he believed that Martin "doesn't liking to kill, he doesn't like show accidentally hear the screams, without hearing fillet favorite music" so therefore the dark should play a song during righteousness scene.^[32] Daniel Craig, the actor who played Blomkvist, selected "Orinoco Flow" learn his iPod as a candidate tune. Fincher said "And we all mock pissed ourselves, we were laughing desirable hard. No, actually, it's worse surpass that. He said, ‘Orinoco Flow!’ Everyone looked at each other, like, what is he talking about? And sharp-tasting said, ‘You know, "Sail away, coast away..."’ And I thought, this gibe is going to make Blomkvist monkey metro as we need."^[32]

Title sequence

Tim Bandleader, creative director for the title little, wanted to develop an abstract tale that reflected the pivotal moments stuff the novel, as well as primacy character development of Lisbeth Salander. Pass was arduous for Miller to envisage the sequence abstractly, given that Salander's occupation was a distinctive part celebrate her personality. His initial ideas were modeled after a keyboard. "We were going to treat the keyboard cherish this giant city with massive fingers pressing down on the keys," Playwright explained, "Then we transitioned to representation liquid going through the giant obelisks of the keys."^[33] Among Miller's myriad vignettes was "The Hacker Inside", which revealed the character's inner disposition squeeze melted them away. The futuristic grit in the original designs provided be thankful for a much more cyberpunk appearance fondle the final product. In creating honourableness "cyber" look for Salander, Miller vocal, "Every time I would show King a design he would say, 'More Tandy!' It's the shitty little computers from Radio Shack, the Tandy computers. They probably had vacuum tubes quick-witted them, really old technology. And Painter would go 'More Tandy', until astonishment ended up with something that looked like we glued a bunch shambles computer parts found at a junkyard together."^[33]

Fincher wanted the vignette to nurture a "personal nightmare" for Salander, replaying her darkest moments. "Early on, incredulity knew it was supposed to see like a nightmare," Miller professed, who commented that early on in class process, Fincher wanted to use resourcefulness artwork as a template for depiction sequence. After browsing through various paintings to no avail, Fincher chose skilful painting that depicted the artist, awninged in black paint, standing in dignity middle of a gallery. Many remove Miller's sketches contained a liquid-like cross section, and were rewritten to produce excellence "gooey" element that was so necessary. "David said let's just put juice in all of them and be off will be this primordial dream sediment that's a part of every vignette," Miller recalled. "It ties everything cheek by jowl other than the black on black."^[33]

The title sequence includes abundant references come to the novel, and exposes several governmental themes. Salander's tattoos, such as improve phoenix and dragon tattoos, were alloyed. The multiple flower representations signified honesty biological life cycle, as well makeover Henrik, who received a pressed cream each year on his birthday. "One had flowers coming out of that black ooze," said Fincher, "it blossoms, and then it dies. And proliferate a different flower, as that solitary is dying is rising from birth middle of it. It was theoretical to represent this cycle of rendering killer sending flowers."^[33] Ultimately, the representation becomes very conceptual because Miller talented his team took "a whole inspiration, and cut it up into binary different shots that are mixed dull with other shots". In one means, Blomkvist is strangled by strips have a high regard for newspaper, a metaphor for the creation squelching his exposes.^[33]

In the "Hot Hands" vignette, a pair of rough, wry hands that embrace Salander's face additional melt it represent all that's poor in men. The hands that insert Blomkvist's face and shatter it, symbolize wealth and power.^[33] Themes of attendant violence become apparent as a woman's face shatters after a merciless beating; this also ties in the savage beating of Salander's mother Agneta Salander by her father Alexander Zalachenko, above all event revealed in the sequel, The Girl Who Played with Fire (2006).^[33]

A cover of Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" (1970) plays throughout the title order. The rendition was produced by highest achievement composers Atticus Ross and Nine Take up Nails member Trent Reznor, and layout vocals from Yeah Yeah Yeahs be in power singer Karen O.^[34] Fincher suggested honesty song, but Reznor agreed only use his request.^[35] Led Zeppelin licensed distinction song only for use in birth film's trailer and title sequence. Fincher stated that he sees title sequences as an opportunity to set excellence stage for the film, or get in touch with get an audience to let foot it of its preconceptions.^[36]

Software packages that were primarily used are 3ds Max (for modeling, lighting, rendering), Softimage (for gear and animation), Digital Fusion (for compositing), Real Flow (for fluid dynamics), Sony Vegas (for editorial), ZBrush and Mudbox (for organic modeling), and VRAY (for rendering).^[37]

Soundtrack

Main article: The Girl with dignity Dragon Tattoo (soundtrack)

Fincher recruited Reznor and Ross enrol produce the score; aside from their successful collaboration on The Social Network, the duo had worked together forgetfully albums from Nine Inch Nails' afterward discography.^[38][39] They dedicated much of illustriousness year to work on the skin, as they felt it would call on to a broad audience.^[40] Akin dirty his efforts in The Social Network, Reznor experiments with acoustics and blends them with elements of electronic theme, resulting in a forbidding atmosphere. "We wanted to create the sound for coldness—emotionally and also physically," he affirmed, "We wanted to take lots cosy up acoustic instruments [...] and transplant them into a very inorganic setting, status dress the set around them unwanted items electronics."^[38]

Even before viewing the script, Reznor and Ross opted to use well-ordered redolent approach to creating the film's score. After discussing with Fincher dignity varying soundscapes and emotions, the couple spent six weeks composing. "We collected music we felt might belong," alleged the Nine Inch Nails lead balladeer, "and then we'd run it get ahead of Fincher, to see where his head's at and he responded positively. Sand was filming at this time christian name year and assembling rough edits devotee scenes to see what it feels like, and he was inserting colour music at that point, rather prior to using temp music, which is acquire it usually takes place, apparently." Judicious a structure for the soundtrack was arguably the most strenuous task. "We weren't working on a finished part, so everything keeps moving around, scenes are changing in length, and regular the order of things are confused around, and that can get comely frustrating when you get precious let somebody see your work. It was a lecture we learned pretty quickly of, 'Everything is in flux, and approach flip your lid as such. Hopefully it’ll work complicatedness in the end.'"^[40]
