Earlier this month we got our first look at the International poster for the David Fincher-directed film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Today we get our first look at the domestic poster for the film and it is pretty NSFW. This poster is very similar to the poster we saw previously except for one difference … this newly released domestic poster features the bare breast of Lisbeth Salander (played by Rooney Mara). Check out the NSFW poster below.
Click the image above to see the larger, uncensored image. It’s clear that Sony Pictures are moving forward with a very aggressive advertising campaign for this film. It says a lot when a studio decides to allow nudity in advertising … particularly because being so bold with the American public is likely to draw criticism from extremists. I can already imagine what conservative critics will say when news of this poster gets out. Still, I am very happy to know that the movie studio is letting David Fincher make, promote and release the film HE wants to make. His recent stunning success with The Social Network has given him a bit of power and it looks like he is going to use that power to get away with as much as he can. The aggressiveness with which The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is being marketed bodes well, IMHO, for the film itself. I am dying to see Fincher‘s vision of Steig Larsson‘s story. If the poster for the film can be so bold, I can only imagine how bold the final film will be.

It’s fine for them to market the film aggressively, but the thing that bothers me is that I doubt they’d ever use a nude male in the same way. It is the sexism that bothers me rather than the nudity itself.
@viktoria — So true. Male nudity is still a pretty big taboo in Hollywood. Foreign films tend to be more generous with the male nudity but here in the US, there is still a long way to go.
Except for Game of Thrones which goes so far as to show HODOR Peen. eek!
At this point, I thought she’s still supposed to be pretty flat chested :)
Those are not very large breast. Then again maybe my own experience of having tig ol’ bitties is skewing my perspective.
I was thinking the same thing! She’s supposed to have “underdeveloped breasts” as is mentioned in the second book. Ah, well.
What the hell are you talking about?
Its true that there maybe no male nudity in advertising, but male nudity is now in movies, while female no. I am not talking about breast, but Penis and Vagina stuff.
