Girl With The Dragon Tattoo | featured news

Days after a handheld camera-shot tape of the first red band "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" trailer was leaked (or planted) onto the web from a movie screening, Sony has officially released its first -- and approved for all ages green band -- preview for its David Fincher-helmed adaptation of the hit Stieg Larsson book.

Stieg Larsson's partner Eva Gabrielsson plans to finish the fourth novel he left uncompleted on his death. According to early details culled from Gabrielsson's memoir of her life with Larsson, Millennium, Stieg and Me, which is set for publication in France and Scandinavia next week, Larsson had written 200 pages of a fourth novel in his internationally successful Millennium series before he died. Gabrielsson wants to complete it because, she says, "Stieg and I often wrote together".

While not directly from the film, W magazine (via JoBlo ) has published the first official photos of Rooney Mara (The Social Network) as Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which Sony will open in theaters on December 21.

Tells Collider he hesitated before signing onto Stieg Larsson adaptation, confirms ''Leagues'' could be his next project.

Although there are a lot of people who still are discovering or absolutely love the Swedish version of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" doesn't mean Hollywood isn't going to stop anytime soon to go and remake the hell out of it. Columbia currently is in the middle of casting the Americanized version of the first novel for the Stieg Larsson. So far they've managed to wrangle up Rooney Mara, Robin Wright, Stellan Skarsgård and Daniel Craig in the main cast with David Fincher directing, but now there's a new person in the fold.
