I keep reading about how The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo may be a bomb, or a huge disappointment, and I think that this will affect whether or not a sequel is made. I don't know if one will be made (they should make all three of the books into films) but I do know this--no one expected that they would shoot the entire book and make that a film.
What's turning people off? I don't know, but if I had to guess, I would say that there really are people who just don't want to see a book that they love get turned into a sickening film. And, with Fincher, love him or hate him, he's going to shock people.
The reason why I read all three books, and enjoyed them immensely, was not because of the characters or the deviancy. I enjoyed the fact that these books were crafted by a knowledgeable journalist. And, really--that's what Stieg Larsson was--a journalist who could call upon a vast amount of experience and create a believable story. Journalism doesn't easily lend itself to moviemaking.
Turning that into a film is next to impossible.
