Some years ago, plans for Fincher to continue the story of Lisbeth Salander – with Rooney Mara reprising her Oscar-nominated turn from Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) – with an adaptation of The Girl Who Played with Fire, fell by the wayside.
We can now finally confirm that David Fincher’s Oscar-winning The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo movie adaptation is getting a followup; or, rather, a rebooting sequel.
Sony confirmed the news about The Girl in the Spider’s Web during the London Book Fair’s launch of the fifth installment in the original Millennium book series (upon which the Dragon Tattoo movies are based).
A global search for a new actress to play Lisbeth Salander in the film (taking over from Mara) is now underway.
