Director Fede Alvarez digs two graves in this franchise’s road to relevancy.
You can’t keep a good franchise down. Despite the death of Stieg Larsson in 2004, and the lukewarm reception to David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo remake, Sony Pictures is pushing full steam ahead on the Millineum series. Seven years after Rooney Mara had her crack at the goth angel of vengeance, Lisbeth Salander, Claire Foy steps into her punk rock shoes to hunt the men who dare to hurt women.
The trailer reveals a vision that is less about the meticulous frame and more about the lingering dread building behind Salander’s intentions. Pretty as a picture, The Girl in the Spider’s Web is not. Director Fede Alvarez appreciates the grotesque, and he’s the maniac you want steering uncontrollable rage. What we see below is barely a glimpse of the horrors Alvarez will gleefully drag his pawns. We should all prepare ourselves for the inevitable red band trailer.
