THE EXPLODING GIRL & THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO trailers

Apple has just released three trailers for two films starring a girl. The first trailer is for THE EXPLODING GIRL, starring Zoe Kazan as a young woman struggling with damaged love and epilepsy. Her love life goes for a spin when her friend, Al (Mark Rendall), stays with her for a while. This played last year at the Berlin Film Festival and Zoe won best actress for EXPLODING GIRL at the Tribeca Film Festival. Zoe has had bit parts in some recent films (REVOLUTIONARY ROAD, ME AND ORSON WELLES and Josh Radnor's HAPPYTHANKYOUMOREPLEASE) but keep an eye on her, I have a feeling she's going to be everywhere soon. THE EXPLODING GIRL has a limited release on March 12.

Our next two trailers go to THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, or if you live in Sweden, MEN WHO HATE WOMEN (an intense change from its U.S. title). I honestly don't know much about this, other than it's part one of a trilogy, and is based off of novels written by the late Swedish author and journalist Stieg Larsson (who passed away in 2004 and left these books unpublished). From what I've collected, it's a murder mystery involving a girl with a dragon tattoo who looks like Trinity from THE MATRIX and she teams up with a journalist to solve a murder that happened 40 years ago. The other books in the trilogy are called: THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE, and THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET'S NEST. All three films have been released overseas. THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO opens in the U.S. on March 19th.

Check out the trailers after the jump, or head over to Apple to watch in HD.

    “MEN WHO HATE WOMEN (someone definitely had their heart broken before).”

    Heart broken? Um no, try again: serial rapes and murders, and other sundry woman-hating on a much higher, much realer level. Just sayin'.

    I can vouch for The Exploding Girl. I saw it at the Tribeca Film Festival. Zoe Kazan is awesomesauce.

    Yeah, I was only referring to how brutal the title was compared to its U.S. title. Not talking literal.

    Mmm; I'm thinking maybe someone had a kid sister raped and beaten before? A more likely inspiration for these creepy/brilliant books. They are disturbing as hell. Not only that: I hear the author was a national expert on Swedish Nazis and White Supremacists…

    I don't know any of his background, and I haven't read the books, but it seems like this man's been through hell, both mentally and physically.
