The first film begins with disgraced journalist, Mikael Blomkvist (Craig), having lost a libel suit and resigning as co-owner of his magazine, Millennium. In the interim, he takes on the investigation of a 40 year-old disappearance case on behalf of the wealthy Henrik Vanger (Plummer) of Vanger Industries. With the help of the pierced, tattooed and capable computer hacker, Lisbeth Salander (Mara), they uncover corruption that no one could have ever imagined.

Studios, just go back to providing iTunes digital copies on your Blu-ray combo releases. The UltraViolet thing is NOT going to catch on.
Do I ever concur. I hate Ultraviolet beyond known limits.

260mins of extra features have been passed by the BBFC here in the UK... it would appear that we're getting the special edition on initial release! Very nice artwork btw for the US release.

If that's the case and they don't screw up the encode, I may just import it.

No thanks any movie with a Rape scene and I will never buy or own and I heard it's in the original and I don't care .I'll Pass
I wish they would have a commentary or special feature containing Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. I would love to hear more about how they put together a movie score.
Holy bonus features! First day purchase, no question.
It looks like Sony got the message and decided to put a little more thoughts in this release than expected. They may have gone with the "commentary" alone had we said nothing in every existing forums...
I love that the combo has extras. I wish the DVD had more extras, but I'm buying the combo anyway.
Shame the DVD got gypped in the special features department, but looking at the combo pack, it's good they decided to put some meat regarding the bonus features. Fincher film extras are always as great as the movies they accompany.

If a rape scene unnerves you that much, then boy, you are missing out on a FANTASTIC movie. The rape scenes take up about 5 minutes most out of a what? Nearly 3 hour movie? That means about 155+ minutes are rape-free. And the rape scenes aren't there to be gratuitous. It actually makes you feel the devastation for the character and that's what drives her character to get revenge for what they did to her.

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about. Those special features sound fantastic. Day one purchase.
Scuse me, Wade5678, but what is your damn point but proving that you try and put shameless publicity in A FILM FORUM?

No thanks. I hate those things. They either give us a pointless disc (and charge extra for it) or take up space that could be better used elsewhere.
At least streaming users neither of those.

What special edition? It looks like the yanks are getting it too. See above.

pile of s**t. watch the extended original ;)
David Fincher is the perfect person to helm this film! Missed this in theaters, but cannot wait to own it on blu ray. I really hope it's as good as the original one.
Omg such an intense movie. The rape scenes were so hard to sit through, but overall great movie. Dark and creepy and well acted and written. Wish it would have one at least one award.

The release date and lack of stars no doubt hurt the box office, but the real problem is that Sony just spent too much money on the film. (From acquiring the rights to the $100 million budget to the aggressive marketing campaign.)
