Lisbeth Salander hjälper till med datorproblem i USA

I USA har Män som hatar kvinnor gått oväntat bra. Den spelade in fantastiska 8,8 miljoner dollar där. Ingen utländsk film har spelat in mer pengar i USA i år. Inte ens någon av de Oscarsnominerade filmerna i den kategorin kommer i närheten.

I senaste numret av The New Yorker skojar man dessutom med Lisbeth Salander och Kalle Blomqvist:

“I can’t really go on without an umlaut,” he said. “We’re in Sweden.”
