Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Reboot Tv Series In The Works At Amazon

Amazon is developing a series centred on Lisbeth Salander, the character created by Stieg Larsson for his best-selling Millennium series of novels.

A collaborative effort between Amazon Studios, Left Bank Pictures, and Sony Pictures Television, the series is tentatively titled "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo", and it will be standalone project featuring a new story, new setting and characters. It will not be a direct sequel or continuation of any previous books or movies.

At this point, no writing team or cast members have been attached to the series. Andy Harries ("Strike Back", "The Crown", "Outlander") will executive produce along with Rob Bullock ("The Night Manager", "Wild at Heart").

Lisbeth Salander is the protagonist of Larsson's award-winning Millennium trilogy. The character first appeared in the 2005 novel "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", and later in its sequels, "The Girl Who Played with Fire" and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest". After Larsson's death, David Lagercrantz took over and published the books "The Girl in the Spider's Web", "The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye", and "The Girl Who Lived Twice". The books have sold more than 100 million copies combined worldwide.

There have been, so far, five big screen adaptations featuring the character. The first three books were adapted into the 2009 Swedish-language trilogy starring Noomi Rapace as Salander. Two years later, David Fincher attempted an English-language trilogy, but never made it past the first book. The 2011 film starred Rooney Mara. Finally, in 2018, Lagercrantz's "The Girl in the Spider's Web" was adapted with Claire Foy in the lead role.

Actor Michael Clarke Duncan passed away last night at age 54. His most memorable role was that of death-row inmate John Coffey in Frank Darabont's "The Green Mile", which earned him an Academy Award nomination. He also starred in movies like "Armageddon", "Daredevil", "Talladega Nights" and "The Whole Nine Yards". The actor was hospitalized in July following a heart attack and was receiving treatment for the past two months. Rest In Peace Michael Clarke Duncan.



Director Jose Padilha has picked up a new actor to play the villain in his "RoboCop" remake after Hugh Laurie quit the project. The villain, Omnicorp CEO Raymond Sellars, will be played by Michael Keaton ("Batman", "Beetlejuice"). "RoboCop" is scheduled for release on August 9, 2013. Here is what Padilha had to say about this new addition to his project :
"Michael is the final addition to the amazing cast we have assembled for this film and it is so great to have the last puzzle piece in place. It is thrilling that everything has come together to bring this innovative new vision of RoboCop to life. We’ve got a great script, a great cast, some killer ED-209’s and I can’t wait to get Alex Murphy back on the streets."


David Fincher is still trying to figure out a sequel to last year's "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". While the adaptation of Steig Larsson's novel was successful, earning around $230 million worldwide, it sure wasn't the big hit that Sony was expecting. Fincher said that he's "trying to figure out a sequel to Dragon Tattoo" and that he wants to be able to make it his own. This is probably a reaction to the US version of the books coming out so soon after the swedish versions, which were pretty popular themselves and propelled actress Noomi Rapace onto the Hollywood scene.



"The Hobbit" has transformed from a duology to a trilogy. Director Peter Jackson and Warner Brothers figured out a way to make this happen, so now we have the titles and release dates for all three films. Here they are :
  • "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" - December 14th, 2012
  • "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" - December 13th, 2013
  • "The Hobbit: There and Back Again" - July 18th, 2014


Michael Douglas is set to play US President Ronald Reagan in director Mike Newell's political drama "Reykjavik", which is set in 1986 during the time Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev went to the Icelandic capital to work out a peace deal, on the backdrop of the Chernobyl disaster. The movie is produced by Ridley Scott, David W. Zucker, Mark Sennet and Stewart Mackinnon and the script is written by Kevin Hood ("Becoming Jane"
