F*** Yeah, Sally and Kalle
There’s no official confirmation that this is real, but Entertainment Weekly has reported a NSFW version of the poster we’ve already seen. Clearly, the controversial bit is Rooney Mara’s breasts; I highly doubt this would get displayed in a theater.
What does everyone think about the female nudity in the promotional materials? So far, I’ve seen Mara naked in the trailer, the poster, the photoshoots… frankly, I find it a bit insulting and demeaning to the message of Larsson’s work. He was crusading against the objectification of women, and yet the filmmakers here seem to be promoting it by parading Mara around naked. They seem to be marketing it almost as an exploitation-type film, and I really don’t think that’s the way to go.
Thoughts?
