'Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' Photos: Daniel Craig And Rooney Mara Are On The Hunt
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is easily one of this winters most anticipated movies, with a solid cast, internationally known source material, renowned director David Fincher and even the guy behind Nine Inch Nails working on the score (Trent Reznor, natch). Fortunately, with today's trio of new "Dragon Tattoo" photos, you wont have to wait until December 26 to get a better look at the film. Stieg Larssons novel of the same name, on which the film is based, is somewhat infamous for its depictions of brutal, sexual violence. While none of that is on display in new images found at Empire, they do give us an excellent view of some of the storys principal characters. First up is Daniel Craig in his role as disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist, making a horrified face at something off-screen. We have an idea where the image is taken from, but well refrain from saying for the six people out there who have neither read the book, seen the Swedish film or already had the story spoiled for them. Suffice to say, hes right to look concerned. Next up is a shot of Rooney Mara, who plays the female lead, eccentric computer hacker Lisbeth Salander, interacting with Yorick van Wageningens Nils Bjurman. Salander is behaving aggressively toward the taken-aback Bjurman, which is understandable, since the guy is the worst kind of scumbag in the book. Its nice to see that the movie has cast someone as big, burly and imposing as van Wageningen, however. The final image shows Craig once again, but this time he is conversing with Christopher Plummer, who plays family patriarch Henrik Vanger in the film. Hes a key part of getting the storys plot moving, so expect a number of scenes between him and Craig. Its a fair bet that the two are discussing the case of Harriet Vanger, Henriks niece who mysteriously disappeared decades earlier, and whom Blomkvist was hired to investigate. What do you think about the new images from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? Will you be checking out the film, or are the book and a subtitled movie enough for you?

Mark Wahlberg To Spread Out Wahlburgers Restaurant: 5 More Eponymous Eatery Ideas
by Amy Wilkinson Say hi for your mother freakin' quarter pounder for me personally! In present day mouth-watering news you should use, stars Mark and Donnie Wahlberg are joining with chef brother Paul Wahlberg to spread out the eponymous Wahlburgers restaurant, that will serve—you suspected it!—hot-off-the-grill burgers. This news originates from the Boston Herald, who are convinced that the siblings needed to secure naming privileges from the Rochester, N.Y.-based restaurant that already offered something known as the "Wahlburger." (Who understood?!) Some,300 square-feet restaurant is placed to spread out "soon," across in the brother's Italian restaurant, Alma Nove, in Hingham, Mass. We, for just one, can't wait to hold tough having a juicy Wahlburger, why hold on there? Lots of celebs have food-friendly names that people often see printed on individuals little paper placemats. Take a look at our epicurean suggestions following the jump! Kristen Stewart's "Stew Art" We know the "Twilight" star constitutes a mean tortilla soup (heck, the dish features its own category on Hollywood Crush!), therefore it appears only fitting the actress extend her menu to incorporate heartier fare. We are able to begin to see the advertising imagery already: Taylor Lautner clad in only an apron, consuming a bowl of stew. Steamy! Taylor Kitsch's "Kitschen" Couple of situations are as lower-home as apple cake along with a football game...by extension Taylor Kitsch (he from the very much departed drama "Friday Evening Lights"). We picture Kitschen like a comfort food haven—heart-attack worthy mac 'n' cheese, piping hot pot roast and also the type of chocolate layer cake you need to dive into with obvious eyes and full hearts. Can't. Lose. Rooney Mara's "Maranara" We doubt Mara's "The Lady Using the Dragon Tattoo" needs anymore publicity, but we believe the studio can't miss with this particular pop-up restaurant idea: an Italian-Swedish fusion eatery. Sample food selection: The Salander Sub—a tasty sub featuring Swedish meat balls instead of the typical hunk of meat (in homage towards the film's Nordic roots). Obviously, it might be situated across the street from an Ikea. Mark Ruffalo's "Ruffalo Wings" Motion picture history's trained us that mild-mannered Bruce Banner changed into his not-so-jolly eco-friendly giant of the alter ego because of a poor attitude. But you, the secret's within the wings, namely, Ruffalo Wings. Hulk themself, Mark Ruffalo, continues to be hiding the key recipe for a long time, however when he opens his titular restaurant over time for 2012's "The Avengers," we'll all learn it's not too easy being eco-friendly. Amanda Seyfried's "Sey-Fried Chicken" We doubt the lithe actress ever indulges in batter-dipped anything, but that simply means more for that relaxation people, right? Here's wishing she acquired some Southern cooking abilities while filming Nicholas Sparks' weeper "Dear John," in Sc because making out while it is raining doesn't a cafe or restaurant make. Have you got any eponymous eatery ideas?

As for the actual footage itself, there's loads more jaw-dropping shots of the British countryside, bathed in orange sunlight and dripping with nostalgia, some better looks at inside the farm as well as the trenches, plus some humongous howitzers that the fear of God into the Big Screen crowd. The star of the film - aside from Joey the horse himself, of course - goes by the name of Jeremy Irvine, and would you beleive it, he came on down to say hi to the Big Screen congregation after the footage was shown, telling us this story while he was at it.... "My great grandfather was in the Gurkas, and he had a horse that stayed with him through the war. So when I got started on the film, my auntie sent me these photos and this receipt for when he bought the horse off the army - and unbelievably, he bought his horse for exactly the same price as Joey was. Clearly it was meant to be!" Check out the trailer for War Horse below, and when you're done with that, be sure to check out the rest of your favourite movie magazine's coverage of the adaptation. That's us, by the way. In case you were wondering. Ahem. War Horse is out in cinemas January 13, 2012.
