'Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' Follow-up in Works With Steven Knight in Talks to Adapt (Exclusive)
Lisbeth Salander will hack again on the big screen but not in

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

sequel,

The Girl Who Played With Fire

.

Instead, Sony is putting its focus on book No. 4 in the Millennium series, The Girl in the Spider's Web, the first book famously not written by creator Stieg Larsson.

The studio is in early talks with Steven Knight (Burnt) to adapt the novel, which became an international best seller after it was published in September.

Sources say that neither Rooney Mara, who nabbed a best actress Oscar nomination for Dragon Tattoo, nor Daniel Craig will be back, and the studio sees the new book as an opportunity to start the franchise over. Ditto for Dragon Tattoo director David Fincher, who is not expected to return to Salander universe.


The move doesn't mean Girl Who Played With Fire is altogether dead. After all, Sony paid mid-seven figures for Steven Zaillian's script for Girl Who Played With Fire, one of the most expensive adaptations to date. But the plan for now is for Spider's Web to precede Girl Who Played With Fire.

Knight is an Oscar-nominated writer for his immigration drama Dirty Pretty Things. But he is also adept at bigger-budget studio fare, having written a draft of Paramount's World War Z sequel as well as Legendary's Seventh Son.

Dragon Tattoo was forgettable. I could care less for a sequel or whatever they are doing.

Rooney Mara: I'm Still Signed to Star in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Sequel

Don't count Rooney Mara out just yet.

Despite reports that The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo will get a reboot without Mara and Daniel Craig in the lead roles, the actress tells me she's still attached to the series.

"As far as I know I'm doing it until someone tells me otherwise," Mara told me yesterday while promoting Carol, her new romantic drama with Cate Blanchett.

Sony has hired Steven Knight to adapt The Girl in the Spider's Web, the fourth book in the series and the only one not penned by Stieg Larsson.

Mara told me in February she was doubtful she'd ever reprise the role of Lisbeth Salander because she thought the Dragon Tattoo sequel was dead in the water. "I'm sad never to do it again, but it just doesn't seem like it's in the cards," she said at the time.

We're happy to report that it appears her feelings have changed, saying "of course" she wants another shot at it. "I'm doing it unless someone tells me that I'm not—and then I still might do it," Mara said with a laugh.
