David Fincher warned Stellan Skarsgard that working on ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ wouldn’t be fun. 4
The 60-year-old actor was happy to push himself on the movie and insists it was an enjoyable experience, despite the director’s preference to work “hard and fast” and be incredibly thorough with each scene.
He said: “David Fincher said to me when we met, ‘This will not be fun, because I sometimes do 40 takes of each set-up’. And I said, ‘It better be fun, and I don’t mind doing 40 takes, so let’s make 40 fun takes’.
“I really enjoyed it. He’s very thorough, but it’s not an anal thing. You can actually do 40 takes that are 40 versions of a scene, which brings it to life.
“He works hard and fast, which means that you shoot all the time. You don’t sit and wait and I like that.”
‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ – which is based on the first in a trilogy of books written by Stieg Larsson – is the second movie version of the novels, with a Swedish production released in 2009, and the Scandinavian actor was delighted to appear in the new film as he had enjoyed the original movie.
He told website Superhero Hype: “I read the script to the Swedish film, the first film, and I’ve seen the first film. I haven’t seen the second or third one.
“I was not supposed to be in the original one, but Fincher contacted me about his version and I was very thrilled to be working with Fincher. Steve Zaillian was writing the script and I thought it could be very interesting. It’s good material they’re working with, so I was excited to be a part of it.”
‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ is released in cinemas on December 26.

Was your character always that through-line? Because we have that tag scene at the end that brings you into the next part. Was that always the idea?
That was not an original idea. Whenever you sign up for Marvel, you sign up for a number of films. But they were not ready with the plot of Avengers when we shot Thor. So, they came to me last fall, I think, and said, ‘We’re thinking about bringing [Professor Eric] Selvig into The Avengers as well. Will you do it?’ And then I met with Joss [Whedon], and saw some pages, and here I am.
How are these experiences different for you, from working on Thor to going into this movie?
“Well, it’s a much smaller role here, so I didn’t have that much material to do. Also, we are a number of actors trying to share screen time. And we all want to be in the center of attention. No, but it’s very different. Of course, Joss’ temperament is different from Kenneth’s. He comes from a different background. He’s not an actor and he doesn’t come from Shakespeare. He comes from comic books, and that world. But it’s lovely to work with him and I think he’s doing a very good job.”
How are Joss’ ways of directing different from Kenneth’s?
Well, he gets happier faster than Kenneth did.
He loves it all?
No, not quite. But he doesn’t do many takes. He’s sort of like, ‘Yeah, yeah! That’s exactly what I need! I’m happy.’
Is it drastically different from how you were playing Eric in the first film?
I’m under Loki’s spell, which means I can play [him] as weird as I want.
Was that fun?
“I appreciated the liberty.
