We've been teased for most of this year with various viral videos and promotional posters for David Fincher's upcoming interpretation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Among them, was a fan recorded, red band trailer that included snippets of Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Karen O's cover of Led Zepplin's "Immigrant Song." Well, now you can listen to the song in it's entirety as it's been paired with some creepy visuals created by Fincher for the film's upcoming title sequence.
I have to say, I've never been a big Karen O/Yeah Yeah Yeahs fan, but her voice is perfect for this vicious cover. I doubt Page & Plant had this sonic landscape in mind when they created the original so many years ago.
Additionally, if you haven't already, you can purchase the entire, three-hour long soundtrack to the film or--if you're not willing to invest that much time for something you've yet to hear--you can download a free, six-track sampler with music from the soundtrack. I've done so, and it's some of the most demented work Reznor has released in years. He's always kept unnerving sounds in his work, but they're usually only part of the composition. Now they're front and center.
Say what you will about the remake, I'm looking forward to seeing it. I love Fincher and I'm starting to dig on Daniel Craig so this has some potential for me.
Reznor has been teasing the hell out of us with TGWTDT for a while now. I've heard the 6 samples and I'm excited to see how it'll go with the movie. I've already read TGWTDT and seen the Swedish version.
