David Fincher ("Fight Club") recently chatted with the Swedish film site,
Afton Bladet (translations via
Film Divider), regarding the chances of a sequel to his 2011 film
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
"I think because it [Sony] already has spent millions of dollars on the rights and the script so it will result in something. The script that we now have a huge potential, I can reveal as much as it is extremely different from the book." David Fincher
It was based on the book by Stieg Larsson, which is part of a trilogy and it starred
Rooney Mara ("The Social Network") as Lisbeth Salander and Daniel Craig ("Skyfall") as Mikael Blomkvist. The film pulled in $232 million at the worldwide box office.
Fans of the book aren't going to be happy to hear that a sequel will be extremely different from the book as “The Girl Who Played With Fire” and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets" are as well regarded as the original.
Gone Girl will hit theaters October 3rd.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the first film in Columbia Pictures' three-picture adaptation of Stieg Larsson's literary blockbuster The Millennium Trilogy. Directed by David Fincher and starring Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara, the film is based on the first novel in the trilogy, which altogether have sold 50 million copies in 46 countries and become a worldwide phenomenon. The screenplay is by Steven Zaillian.
