Official: Sony planning Dragon Tattoo sequels

We heard recently that Sony was adamant about adapting The Gilr Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest despite Fincher’s remake underperforming (here).  Well, Deadline is hearing that production on the second book is planned to begin around the end of this year/beginning of 2013. Steve Zaillian, who penned Dragon Tattoo, is also penning the second films, but it’s still unknown if Fincher will return. However, I think fans would agree that Fincher’s style added to the remake, and was one of the aspects that made the film soo great.

One thing that Zillian is also doing is making Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara) the center of the film. She’s fairly absent from the novel, but the sequel(s) will revolve around her more as did Fincher’s remake. Makes sense as Salander is obviously the most interesting character of them all, and Mara has already been confirmed to be attached for the second and third films.
