‘The Girl In The Spider’s Web’ Clip: Lisbeth Salander Stirs Up Trouble At The Airport
Even though the end of the year brings plenty of awards season titles to the table, that doesn’t mean everything else goes into hiding. There are still plenty of movies coming over the next couple months bringing chills, thrills, excitement and laughs. The release of Sony’sThe Girl in the Spider’s Web, a reboot ofThe Girl with the Dragon Tattoofranchise, might be a little light on the latter when it hits theaters in a couple weeks. But a new clip shows it will have plenty of suspense and action. Plus, who knows, maybe there’s a chanceClaire Foycould land an Oscar nomination.

The Girl in the Spider’s Web Clip
In the clip, Lisbeth Salander (Claire Foy) stirs up some trouble at an airport and uses herself as a distraction to freeLakeieth Stanfield(Get Out) from custody. We’re not sure what he’s being held for or why Lisbeth Salander is breaking him out at putting herself at risk to do so, but Stanfield’s line of, “You don’t understand what this is, do you?” indicates that there’s something much bigger in play here that Salander maybe doesn’t fully understand.
Some of the early buzzthat hit the web (pun intended) this week compared the action thriller to the recent James Bond offerings, and this clip very much aligns with those sentiments. It also feels a little like a Jason Bourne movie due to the visual aesthetic, albeit with significantly less shaky camera work.Fede Alvarez, director of theEvil Deadremake andDon’t Breathe, is at the helm ofThe Girl in the Spider’s Web, and the rest of the cast featuresSverrir Gudnason, Sylvia Hoeks, Stephen Merchant, Claes Bang, Christopher Convery, Synnøve Macody Lund, andVicky Krieps.
Here’s the official synopsis forThe Girl in the Spider’s Web:
