THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE, the second film adaptation of the best-selling Millennium trilogy written by the late Swedish author Stieg Larsson, is the sequel to the international hit film, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE reunites Noomi Rapace as Lisbeth, the troubled, wise-beyond-her-years genius hacker, along with Michael Nyqvist who again portrays Mikael Blomkvist, the crusading journalist-cum-amateur sleuth. This time, the pair investigates a suspected sex-trafficking operation with underage girls in Sweden. When Lisbeth is accused of three murders, she goes on the lam while Blomkvist tries to clear her name. But can he do it before it’s too late and is Lisbeth really as innocent as he thinks? Directed by Daniel Alfredson. Screenplay by Jonas Frykberg.

Novelist Stieg Larsson died suddenly in 2004 and left behind three unpublished novels known as the Millennium trilogy. Since his first novel The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was published in Sweden in 2005, the trilogy has become a major international sensation with 21 million copies sold in over 40 countries. The Girl Who Played With Fire was published in the U.S. in July 2009 and became the first translated work in 25 years to reach number one on the New York Times bestseller hardcover list.

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest, the third novel in the trilogy was published in the U.S. on May 25. The film adaptation will be released by Music Box Films on October 15, 2010.

“Lisbeth is as compelling as any movie character in recent memory.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
