Here's a sampling of the new Dragon Tattoo 'getting to know you' character profiles currently on display at the film's official website, which features a look at 18 characters, their motivations at the start of the saga, and the in-character faces of the new cast portraying them.
The film also stars Robin Wright, Stellan SkarsgÄrd, Christopher Plummer, Joely Richardson, Goran Visnjic, and Embeth Davitz, but I've included below a shot of Elodie Yung as Lisbeth Salander's girlfriend, Miriam Wu -- one of the side characters in the book and original film that most intrigued me, as one of very few people actually accepted into Lisbeth's small inner circle. Yung, the French actress who swung knives from her hair in District 13: Ultimatum, also stars in Jon M. Chu's upcoming G.I. Joe sequel.
Get more character profiles (and a taste of what could be, as CinemaBlend's Katey Rich points out, Trent Reznor's Dragon Tattoo score) at the official website. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo hits theaters December 21.
