Part of the plot of this film revolves around two involved, but unmarried journalists who live together. Dag Svensson and Mia Bergman (Johansson in the English versions of the book) are murdered because of the nature of their reporting. Blomkvist and his associates are then stuck with an ethical issue: what to do with Svensson/Bergman's reporting--how to, or if to, finish their work for them. This quite closely parallels the life and tragic death of the author Stieg Larsson. Larsson lived with his girlfriend Eva Gabrielsson, but they were unmarried to avoid publicizing their address. Like Svensson and Johansson/Bergman, they worried about death threats. Though no evidence exists of foul play in Larsson's death, his Millenium series was unfinished. Like Svensson, he had a fourth book unfinished. Fighting between Gabrielsson and Larsson's family over the rights and royalties have left the rest of the series unwritten.
