Firmly entrenched in the New York Times Best-Seller list, Stieg Larson’s THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, the first in the three part MILLENNIUM trilogy, is one of the decade’s major literary success stories. Larsson, who passed away in 2004, left behind these three unpublished novels, which have become a publishing sensation. The first book in the series is brought to the big screen by acclaimed filmmaker Niels Arden Oplev, whose WE SHALL OVERCOME won the HIFF Audience Award in 2006. An international crime thriller involving corporate intrigue, serial murder, and powerful Old World dynasties, this film is a powerful start to what is sure to prove as successful a film series as it is a literary story.

Expected to be in attendance:  Director Niels Arden Oplev
