Noomi Rapace in talks for MI4 and Sherlock 2

Seems the Swedish sleeper hit The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is opening a lot of doors for its star Noomi Rapace.

Currently she is being considered for roles in Mission Impossible 4 and Sherlock Holmes 2. The actress has been taking meetings now that her foreign film is a hit and being remade, especially since MusicBox Films (the studio behind the original Tattoo films) is heading up a campaign to get the star an Oscar for her role in those films.

Deadline quotes a source who speculates on her appeal:

“They’re originally meeting her expecting this hard-ass on a Harley wearing leather. But she’s nothing like Lisbeth. They’re shocked to find this unbelievably beautiful and sexy fresh-faced actress with a wonderful sense of humor. So now that’s opening doors for her. They go into the meeting to ask, ‘Do I have a villain? And they leave saying, ‘Do I have a great female lead?’”

Now I really want to get around to seeing the Swedish version before Fincher’s remake comes out.

I dislike reading a film – if I wanted to read I would pick up the book, and dubs tend to take away from the genuine emotion of the characters. But now I want to see what all the fuss is about with this girl.
