Lynn Hirschberg offers an “exclusive first look” of the making of David Fincher’s version of THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO for W Magazine. According to the piece, Steven Zaillian’s script departs considerably from the book: “Blomkvist is less promiscuous, Salander is more aggressive, and, most notably, the ending–the resolution of the drama–has been completely changed. This may be sacrilege to some, but [scriptwriter] Zaillian has improved on Larsson–the script’s ending is more interesting.”
W Magazine

Nine editors and four agents from the U.S. and Canada have been named Fellows of the Jerusalem International Book Fair (JIBF), which will take place from February 20-25.
