Sony will return Lisbeth Salander to screens
It seems that Lisbeth Salander is still destined to return to the screens. True, this will not happen in The Girl Who Played With Fire, which has been in development for several years.According to the site The Hollywood Reporter , Sony has decided to postpone the sequel " Girls with the Dragon Tattoo " and focus on the adaptation of the fourth novel in the series - The Girl Who Was Trapped in the Web . The book by David Lagerkranz, invited in 2013 to continue the popular Stieg Larsson series, tells about the already familiar hacker girl Lisbeth Salander and the journalist Mikael Blomkvist , whom the next investigation leads to the world of spies , cybercriminals and corrupt politicians.  The source says that neither Rooney Mara, nominated for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for an Oscar , nor Daniel Craig will participate in the work on the new project, nor will directed by David Fincher. Sony is currently in talks with Stephen Knight (Vice for Export) to take over the adaptation of the novel. In 2011, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo earned $ 233 million worldwide, but the studio considered the film too expensive (budget - $ 90 million ) for project rated R . Although the contract of Daniel Craig includes two more parts of the franchise, the actor asked for a fee that Sony cannot afford due to the sequel's budget cuts.  Insiders argue that this does not mean The Girl Who Played With Fire is forever shelved, especially since the studio paid seven figures for the script by Stephen Zeyllian. But it is planned that the adaptation of the fourth book will become a full-fledged reboot of the franchise, and the main contender for the role of Lisbeth is already called Alicia Vikander ("Agents of ANKL").
