Millennium locations: Miriam Wu’s apartment
Salander stopped at the door with a nameplate that said WU . She had seen a light from the street, and now she could hear music coming from inside. So Miriam Wu still lived here in the studio apartment on Tomtebogatan near St. Eriksplan.
It was Friday evening, and Salander had half hoped that Mimmi would be out having fun somewhere. The only questions that remained to be answered were whether Mimmi still wanted to have anything to do with her and whether she was alone and available.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
She rang the bell.
Mimmi opened the door and her eyebrows lifted in surprise. Then she leaned against the doorjamb and put her hand on her hip.
“Salander. I thought you were dead or something.”
“Or something.”
“What do you want?”
“There are many answers to that question.”
Miriam Wu looked around the stairwell before she again fixed her eyes on Salander.
“Try one.”
“Well, I just wanted to see whether you’re still single and might want some company tonight.”
Mimmi looked astonished for a few seconds and then laughed
out loud. 
“I know only one person who would even dream of ringing my
bell after a year and a half’s silence to ask me if I wanted to
fuck.”
“Do you want me to leave?”
Mimmi stopped laughing. She was quiet for a few seconds.
“Lisbeth … Jesus, you’re serious.”
Salander waited.
Finally Mimmi sighed and opened the door wide.
“Come on, then. I can at least offer you a coffee.”

I’m not sure why anyone wants the American Version to come out. I live in America, and the Millenium trilogy was acted and shot in a way that American films rarely are…in honesty. The rape scene was gruesome, so was the revenge…the character is sexual but awkward, vulnerable, etc..without being too “glamorized,” or the movie relying on heavily using special effects. Thank God the movie doesn’t have “Brad Pitt” or some other movie star, so you focus on characters. I don’t know why it should ever be remade…unless Americans can’t read. I can, so I assume others can to. There is nothing to improve upon in the original version (which, by the way is not “old” enough to have to remake). Noomi Rapace was phenomenal in the role.
