Sony continues to work on a sequel to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. David Fincher’s U.S. film adaptation of the property was well received but didn’t make enough money to cover its $90 million budget. The current plan is to adapt the fourth book in the series The Girl in the Spider’s Web and maybe recast all the roles to make a cheaper version. Locke’s Steven Knight is adapting the novel and Rooney Mara is still willing to play Lisbeth Salander. Daniel Craig isn’t likely to return but his deal meant he was paid whether the film was made or not. According to Knight even though the film would ignore the events of the second and third novels it’s a sequel. All he did was outline the film with the plan of it being developed if the studio liked what he did. The film will be directed by Don’t Breathe’s Fede Alvarez. Spider’s Web tells of Salander re-teaming with journalist Mikael Blomkvist to enter a world of a secret society willing to kill to protect their secrets. If the film is a hit then the other two novels will be adapted.
