The sensational screen adaptation of the second installment of Stieg Larsson’s literary phenomenon, The Girl Who Played With Fire, is released on Blu-ray and DVD from 10 January 2011 by Momentum Pictures.
The Girl Who Played With Fire sees the return of Noomi Rapace, in her award winning role as Lisbeth Salander, as we further explore her fascinating relationship with Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist), as they attempt to expose the seedy underworld of sex trafficking in Sweden. In exposing this truth, the painful reality of Lisbeth’s own story is also uncovered.
Back at the helm of Millennium magazine, Mikael is intent on exposing a billion dollar sex trafficking ring but when two of his researchers are murdered, he realises there’s more to this story than first thought after Lisbeth is framed for the crimes. Unconvinced that she is involved, he attempts to clear her name and uncover the real killers. But secretive hacker Lisbeth goes on the run and soon stumbles upon secrets of her own past. Secrets that people would kill to keep hidden.
Presented in stunning glossy packaging, both formats will include both the original Swedish and English language audio versions of the film and a host of special features including an exclusive sneak peak at The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets’ Nest, interviews with cast and crew and a behind the scenes look at one of the key fight sequences.
Directed by Daniel Alfredson and adapted for the screen by Jonas Frykberg, The Girl Who Played With Fire has a huge fan base eager for the second instalment following the most successful foreign language DVD release of the year in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. The adaptations will soon draw to a close with the release of The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets’ Nest in cinemas from 26 November.
