When did this Scandophobia start and when will it end?!
First Alfredson’s Let the Right One In wasn’t good enough for Hollywood. Apparently its simultaneously frightful and tender plot could only be improved by one thing - the English language. A similar approach was applied to much celebrated TV series, The Killing, now available to viewers in a more palatable American accent. And now The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo gets the same treatment.
Each of these remakes has occurred within no more than four years of the original. Is this really necessary?
What is added to our experience as the viewer? Daniel Craig’s pseudo-Swedish accent? Swedish people in Sweden talking Sw-... English? No thanks, I don’t buy it. Subtitles aren’t that bad.
