The release of director David Fincher’s highly anticipated adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is quickly approaching, and today a plethora of new images from the film have been unveiled. While most image galleries give away 80% of the movie, the images here are used more to invoke mood than story. While we do get looks at stars Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig, there are quite a few shots of stationary objects or settings that give off the chilling vibe so expertly conveyed in the trailers. If the marketing materials released thus far are any indication of the film’s quality, we’re in for quite a ride come Christmas.

Hit the jump to check out the images. The film also stars Stellan Skarsgard, Christopher Plummer, and Robin Wright. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo opens December 23rd.

Here’s the official synopsis for the film:
