The opening sequence, which was stunning, features a cover of Led Zeppelin’s ‘Immigrant Song.’ It’s notoriously difficult to get Led Zeppelin’s music in a movie, and I was wondering if you could tell us the story on that?
David Fincher: Led Zeppelin is very protective, as they should be – they have an amazing catalogue. I think they wanted to make sure that we respected it and it was our intention all along to communicate the idea that we didn’t want to run it into the ground. We didn’t want to use it in every television spot. We wanted to pick specific places like the teaser and the title sequence to do it. I think that they were…it was actually pretty easy. We needed to make sure that they understood that it was going to be a cover. We weren’t going to be licensing the actual performance. We wanted to do it with a woman’s voice. So it kind of went down like clockwork.

This is obviously based on a book that millions and millions of people have read, people have this vision of what these characters are. What did you guys want to do in order to make these characters your own and not what people have imagined them to be?
Rooney Mara: To be honest, I didn’t really think much about what other people imagined it to be, I used what I imagined it to be. I had read all three books and I had a really clear picture of who this girl was. Luckily, David Fincher’s idea was pretty similar, I didn’t really think much about what other people thought of her.
Daniel Craig: Exactly. In this industry, the less you think about what other people are thinking about, the better and more original you can be (laughs). You can’t go into a project thinking. “How will these people like it? How will those people like it?” You want to be single minded about it. You can’t please everybody.
