My Ideal Lisbeth Salander

While searching for the film release date of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", I noticed there would be a U.S. version out in 2012, directed by David Finch. Knowing Finch's style (he directed "Seven"), I am confident the movie will be in good hand. But the more important questions is: who will play Lisbeth Salander?

I was shocked to see Carey Mulligan's name mentioned. No way! I like Mulligan since her "Bleak House" and "Pride and Prejudice" days but she is way too nice and sweet to be Salander. We need someone who is smart, edgy, and controversial . One name immediately pops in my head: LADY GAGA! She's about the same age as Lisbeth Salander, has similar physique (short, skinny, pale), bisexual, and just as controversial as you can get. Really, who else!

Now that I have my ideal Salander cast in my head, I start to wonder if the casting agent will think the same way. If so, that will be a very interesting movie to see (and I will seriously consider a career change).
