Film Weekly fans the flames of The Girl Who Played With Fire

This week Jason meets Swedish director Daniel Alfredson, the man who took on the task of transferring Stieg Larsson's hugely successful Millennium crime trilogy to the big screen.

Ahead of Friday's release of The Girl Who Played With Fire, Alfredson discusses the dark side of Swedish culture that feeds both the novels and his films and tells us what his brother Tomas is up to after directing vampire smash Let The Right One In.

We also have an extract from Jason's In The Director's Chair interview with the director of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, Edgar Wright, in which he discusses his Xbox aesthetics and love of arthouse.

Xan Brooks pops in to review some of this week's releases including Adam Sandler and Chris Rock in Grown Ups, and edgy crime drama Dog Pound.

All this, plus the chance to win one of five Lisbeth Salander-style T-shirts.
