The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo


Trent Reznor is God.  Ok not really.  But a genius he is.  When I first heard Head Like A Hole by Nine Inch Nails all those years ago, who would have thought Reznor would have been capable of producing such genius music.  His album Pretty Hate Machine was a definite crowd pleaser with an insightful and visual approach to be sure.  But I wouldn’t have dreamed that one day he would craft such an amazing piece of work (with his partner Atticus Rose) for the movie The Social Network.  Now comes his work on the next David Fincher movie, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.  I have hard very little so it doesn’t make much sense in posting about it, but what I have heard blew my mind.  His take on Led Zeppelin’s  The immigrant Song for the opening of the movie hits all the right notes and just judging from the trailer fits in perfectly with the tone of the movie.  I am not familiar with the books on which the movie is based outside of knowing they exist but this is definitely shaping up to be a movie I will love.

And on a side note:  my instructor to my digital storytelling class was surprised that I hadn’t been all over this but it was always planned to be posted this week.  I guess great minds think a like. 🙂
