Noomi Rapace kicked off the original The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo film (though I still assert its Swedish title, Men Who Hate Women, is a million times better) for what became a full trilogy of movies, filmed and released in the author’s native Sweden. Rapace—who many are now familiar with from her roles in Sherlock Holmes, Prometheus, and The Drop—portrayed the films’ heroine, Lisbeth Salander. During our interview with Noomi about her new film, What Happened to Monday, we wondered if she would be interested in continuing the role of Salander since new novels are being written by David Lagercrantz. And when it comes to the actor’s thoughts on the continuation of the series as a whole, the same sentiment was felt. “I haven’t read any of the new ones. For me, his voice was so strong and he was the one I connected with. It’s up to others if they want to keep it alive, but I’m done, I’m over it.” Personally, I’m glad that door is closed in Noomi’s mind. It only leaves open the opportunity for newer, exciting things form her in the future. We will have the rest of our interview with Noomi in regards to What Happened to Monday up soon. The film will be distributed by Netflix in the on Aug. 18, so keep your eyes open.
