‘DRAGON TATTOO’ Viral Video for 80’s Crime Show ‘Hard Copy’

Mouth Taped Shut, the viral marketing site put together to promote David Fincher’s highly anticipated The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is at it again.  So far the site has released haunting behind-the-scenes photos revealing the director and its stars.  Now, the site has unveiled a “lost” video segment from the late 80’s crime show Hard Copy.  Obviously the video is not a real one originally televised in 1989, but the show itself was a real investigative program that ran for a long period of time. The VHS recording is obviously made to look like a cheesy episode released long-ago.  It is quite an effective and ambitious nine minute video that can be seen below.  For those unfamiliar with the mystery surrounding the Vanger family in the Fincher film, this video acts as an informative introduction.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo will be released in theaters December 21.

Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.
