The final Swedish-language movie of Stieg Larsson’s Millennium trilogy Luftslottet som sprängdes (The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest) opens in select theaters on Oct. 29th. The trailer has just appeared on the Web.

Meanwhile, the English-language version of the first title in the series, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, is being shot in Sweden. It was recently announced that Christopher Plummer will play wealthy industrialist Henrik Vanger, who hires Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) and Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara) to solve a decades-old murder. Directed by David Fincher (The Social Network), the movie is scheduled to open next year on Dec. 21, 2011.

Noomi Rapace, the Swedish actress who won acclaim as Salander in the original series, just landed her first English-speaking role; she will star in Sherlock Holmes 2.
