As a Swede, I'm truly very proud of Noomi Rapace (even though she really has got an uncommon rare sort of first name, rare second name too as a matter of fact), and I was so glad & nicely pleased to see the Yellow-&-Blue Swedish flag in the studio there too; so let's hear it for a real great Swedish Actress - Noomi Rapace!!! GREAT GIRL with a multitude of talents! - Tobbe in Sweden -

this movie was brilliant!!! And shes so beautiful!!!!

Me ha inpresionado la entrevista... lo alegre que es... porque con los papeles que ha interpretado me la imaginaba mucho mas seria. Es un monstruo como actriz!

Que agradable verla reir. En las cuatro películas que he visto de ella, su sonrisa siempre es una mueca. Esta mujer es un monstruo de la interpretación! Menuda envídia!

brilliant actress I love her so much

She is gorgeous!

Her English is virtually flawless ....her husband is one lucky guy. What a likable and very pretty woman!

we love you noomy, you where such a brilliant salender can't wait for your new project.

her accent is interesting - really looking forward to seeing her in English films

I really like this movie. I think that Noomi played the role perfectly!!

Noomi is a great actor, she gave life to Lisbeth and as I read the remainder of the books, I can see her (Noomi) and all the rest of the characters, as I read along. I can't wait for the American version; Of course, Hollywood will make a train wreck out of it, as they try to "sell" the actors as opposed to the story itself. I love the Swedish version, and it will always be, for me, the book(s), come to life...oh yes, Noomi, if you ever get divorced, can you give me a ring?

WOW! i agree with the previous comments, she is so different in real life. total opposite of Lisbeth. That really does make her a great actress i guess.

All three movies are great. You have to *want* to watch them though. If you recommend them to someone, they kind of shy away b/c of the pics and the subs. They became immediate classics and in my top all time great movies. I have never read the books, but I will.... one day.

@devild1986 yes the movie played in March so she is eligible and i was agree she was spellbinding in the role.

@shaneonya - Hi there ShaneOnya, & THANK's for providing a truly enviously accurate & deeply insightful info about Noomi's & her (ex?) Husband Ola's names; honestly speaking, I did not know anything about this interesting background, but if I would suggest a (possible) explaination why they wanned to chose such an uncommon name as "predator" (Rapace), it might as well be that Norell & Noren are quite phonetically similar & Rapace is definitely quite more striking! Are you by any chance a Swede?

@travz21 I read she's being seriously considered by Ridley Scott for the new Alien prequel movie. Sigourney Weaver was about 30 when she did the first one.

Noomi you are the best Swedish actor i love when you play as Lisbeht (spell) xD and you look always good if you are a emo/gothic style or normal :P

she looks very diferent.I like her work a lot.

whoa she sticks her legs really far up in the air.

@gold192 - Thank you Gold; you're truly very right about that, very accurate, & when you think about it; I would say that the name Rapace is indeed not at all a particuarly common Swedish second name, only God knows from where her Husband comes from! By the way, I actually read today that Noomi has been asked to participate & act in an American planned motion picture called 'Witch Hunters', based on the classical saga "Hansel and Gretel" - Noomi will be joined by the wellknown Jeremy Renner!

@devild1986 Yes she is eligible the film played in Los Angeles and i agree she was spellbinding.

@fingerscarr no you may not be so bold. I'm also swedish and everyone who lives here is too...

i like her voice

@Colspex Yeah, I agree. I think it is soooo stupid when movies are dubbed. It really detracts from the film's quality. I would much rather have things subtitled and, as a person who enjoys foreign films, I'm glad I live in a country that tends to subtitle rather than dub.

@SuperAV21 yes she is

oh my god i think im in love with her

@daysleeper236 The big difference with Sweden and for example Italy, Germany and France is that Sweden only have subtitles - we never dub our TV-shows. I mean, the US popular culture had an enormous impact on Sweden since the early 60's and for example, during the 80's, we used to watch cartoons and really hearing the words and the slang etc. We also start reading english in school from the age of 10 and sometimes even earlier. I cannot even imagine how it would be to have things dubbed...

she is interesting.....and she speak english almost perfect....

I sadly dont know the specifics of the Oscar and how someone can be nominated or voted in, but any chance that she can get in for best actress?

@daysleeper236 i like your observation and i agree.im from sweden myself,

@landgabriel I agree. But I thought this interview was more about her in the filmmaking process rather than blatant blather to plunk down your bucks for a ticket at the local cineplex. In any event, she's so refreshing and fun, I love watching and listening to her.

I'm happy her English is actually very good so she'll fit into her role in the new Sherlock Holmes sequel well.

5:01 dabbin'

@annoulilovesmj Hmm... every1 says the "movie"... I kind of take it that they don't know about the other 2 movies??? hmm iunno... But i agree entirely, there's just something so attractive about her in her character of Lisbeth...

wow she looks so different!

I love the women in the background who keeps coughing

Wow, 5'6 is short in Sweden? Thats the height I am now and I feel so tall. I was wondering why she was always described as 'so tiny' in the movies. She is so pretty and her accent is lovely. She does a amazingggg job in the movie as lisbeth. :D

she makes me a bit more proud to be swedish. lets see how her career pans out.

@rxmiller0112 most swedes are really good at it. for whatever reason. must be the school system

Noomi IS Salander.

@sayhellotoyourfuture i read that her son is 6 he just had a birthday

i kinda agree with geoff lloyd. No way she's 5'2, which is the despcription in the book. She looked to be more like 5'6 or 5'7. She might be short for sweden, but Salander was described as almost anorexic looking too.......but she did a great job in the movie so i wasn't totallly disappointed.

Noomi was offered the role by fincher, but said no, and her career have taking a giant leap.she is going to be hugh all over the world, "sherlock Holmes 2" with robert downey jr, and Ridley scott wanting her in the new alien movie

she looks so different wearing a smile, as opposed to that angry, abused scowl she wears in the films... and she's way prettier here than in the films.

Is Noomi Rapace Swedish?

@daysleeper236 Are you from sweden? Iam, and I lived in san fran for a while. I can asure you it's not perfect..I hear her accent clearly :)

She looks about 25 in the movie. She looks about 45 in real life. And she's only 31. Wtf.

So, after watching a different video, I came back to this one to say I have come to the conclusion on who should play Lisbeth since they insist on making an American version. Helena Bonham Carter. :D

The constant smoking by Noomi's Lisbeth character was so annoying. Apart from that, I have to say that "Girl with The Dragon Tattoo" was a brilliant film, bordering on genius! I wish they wouldn't remake this one. It's such an ensemble work that the casting for a remake is bound to fall short.

I was annoyed that they didn't mention in the second film that Lisbeth got a boob job.

I love short hair on chicks. More women should wear their hair short.

Fate voi i bestioni da far incazzare le richieste delle cose mie like appartamenti i nonni..

@danielmkaplan I just saw the second film in the trilogy three hours ago.I don't have any interest at all in seeing the "Hollywood Version" of any of these films.Nothing will live up to the Originals & No one else can be Lisbeth or Mikael. Though Disappointed sounds like a strong, personal, word.. I get were You are coming from. Still,all Americans are not film makers =0)

Keep it in church heheheh

She is completely unrecognisable as compared to the film. Jesus Christ, wow.

she is very small.

This haircut doens't suit her at all... But she's still gorgeous...
