“For me, it was important to fully understand Lisbeth to give her life. I wanted her to be complicated but extreme. She had to be a character you’ve never seen before yet still allow the audience to connect with her, so it was a balance between how much I should let her emotions out and how much I should keep in. I had many arguments about that with Niels, who would sometimes tell me that he wanted to see more of what was going on inside of Lisbeth, and I said, “No, I can’t do that.” Lisbeth has learned how to control her face and body so she can hide her feelings, and she wouldn’t be reacting the way Niels wanted me to in those cases.” -NOOMI RAPACE.
Noomi Rapace Re-Teaming with Dragon Tattoo Director for “Dead Man Down” with Colin Farrell
According to The Wrap, Noomi Rapace will re-team with Niels Arden Oplev, the Danish director who guided her career-making performance as the prickly hacker at the center of “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.” Rapace will star in the thriller “Dead Man Down,” IM Global announced on Tuesday. She will be joined by Colin Farrell. IM Global will fully finance the $30 million movie. Neal H. Moritz’s Original Film will produce alongside J.H. Wyman of Frequency Films. Farrell will play the right-hand man to an underground crime lord in New York City who is seduced and blackmailed by Beatrice (Rapace), a crime victim seeking retribution, according to a synopsis supplied by IM Global. The film is scheduled to start shooting in early 2012.
"Noomi has something very unique in her interpretation of Lisbeth Salander. You just can’t stop looking at her."
— Niels Arden Oplev (‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ director)
