David Fincher gave an interesting interview in Sweden to W magazine, in which he talked about both "The Social Network" (he likes his own movie but doesn't think it's that great) and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" (he wasn't sure he wanted to direct it but is into it now). The key passage for fans of the Stieg Larsson novels is about the transformation of the main characters, Mikail Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander:



"Blomkvist is less promiscuous, Salander is more aggressive, and, most notably, the ending—the resolution of the drama—has been completely changed. This may be sacrilege to some, but (screenwriter Steve) Zaillian has improved on Larsson — the script's ending is more interesting."

There's also some

of actress Rooney Mara dressed as Salander. Mara, as fans of "The Social Network" know, is Mark Zuckerberg's girlfriend who breaks up with him in the memorable opening scene.
