'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' Sequel Eyeing 'Don't Breathe' Director
Five years ago, David Fincher's take on The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo didn't take off, despite decent numbers at the international box office. Sony, however, isn't giving up on the franchise, and is looking to adapt The Girl in the Spider's Web.
The Spider's Web is the fourth book in the series, and now Fede Alvarez is being looked to as director. Alvarez is coming off the very successful Don't Breathe, which continued 2016's semi-resurgence of the horror genre..
Alvarez hasn't signed on for the sequel yet, and he has a tendency to veer closer to original filmmaking rather than adaptations. The sequel will jump past the second and third novels, which already have Swedish adaptations. Steven Knight is penning the script, though Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara are not expected to return at this stage.
