Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander on W‘s February 2011 cover!!

David Fincher, the darkly obsessive director of Fight Club and The Social Network, is making the Hollywood version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

In the February issue of W we get an exclusive first look from the set of the year’s most anticipated film.

Fincher’s film departs dramatically from the book: Mikael Blomkvist is more gentlemanly, Salander is more aggressive—and the ending has been completely altered. What do you think about that? And who do you think makes the better “Girl with the dragon tattoo” – Rooney Mara or Noomi Rapace?

The Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson has sold over 50 million copies (and still counting…) world wide.

Thomas & Brett in Stockholm

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. I sure did!

Thomas and Brett, the happy newlyweds and winners of Love is in the air US, left Stockholm today. We had so much fun the last couple of days. Yesterday we went to Fotografiska to see the exhibition Lady Warhol and meet the fantastic photographer Christopher Makos.

The Lady Warhol project is the result of two friends’ intense collaboration over a 48-hour period in 1981. Warhol was the model and Makos the photographer.

Christopher Makos

Fotografiska is the first to exhibit Lady Warhol by Christopher Makos. Eight wigs, two days work, sixteen contact sheets, and fifty photographs comprise this unique series of portraits that depict Andy Warhol’s transformation to his alter ego Lady Warhol.

Our lovely friend Magnus Lindbergh from VisitSweden and Christopher Makos.
