What happens

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Swedish: Män som hatar kvinnor, lit. 'Men Who Hate Women') is a 2009 crime thriller film directed by Niels Arden Oplev from a screenplay by Rasmus Heisterberg and Nikolaj Arcel and produced by Søren Stærmose, based on the 2005 novel by Swedish writer Stieg Larsson, the first entry in his Millennium series. The film stars Michael Nyqvist and Noomi Rapace. That same year, two sequels—The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest—were released in September and November, respectively. The next year, all three were expanded into a six-part television miniseries. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
