Sony has weaved a new trailer for Claire Foy-starrer The Girl In The Spider’s Web, offering a closer look at the titular outcast vigilante’s past. Check it out above. Fede Alvarez directs the adaptation of the novel by David Lagercrantz, who continued Stieg Larsson’s Millennium legacy with the bestseller. Steven Knight and Alvarez and Jay Basu wrote the screenplay.
Foy takes over as Lisbeth Salander, the defender who was previously played by Noomi Rapace and Rooney Mara. In Spider’s Web, she and journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Borg Vs McEnroe‘s Sverrir Gudnason) find themselves caught in a web of spies, cybercriminals and corrupt government officials. The new trailer has echoes of the first which dropped in June and introduced “the girl who hurts men who hurt women.” It also offers further insight into the plot that involves Lisbeth’s family.
Also starring are Lakeith Stanfield, Sylvia Hoeks,...

A tattooed Claire Foy is delivering vengeance as Lisbeth Salander in the first trailer for Sony’s “The Girl in the Spider’s Web.”
The trailer showed Foy — best known for portraying Queen Elizabeth in Netflix’s “The Crown” — as she uses an intricate trap to capture a villainous husband, and then coldly telling him as he hangs upside down that he will turn over his assets to his abused wife.
“I’m a fan of yours — the CEO who beat up two prostitutes, but then got acquitted in court yesterday,” she says. “I’m transferring 20% of your cash to these two girls, the rest I’m transferring to your wife.”
She then tells the wife, who’s also been beaten up, “He won’t hurt you again.”
The studio decided two years ago to replace Rooney Mara with Foy as the precocious Swedish computer hacker for “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” sequel,...

Claire Foy’s Lisbeth Salander certainly knows her way around a tangled web. In this new trailer for The Girl in the Spider’s Web — an adaptation of the bestseller from Stieg Larsson’s Millennium book series — vigilante Lisbeth snares her first creep with a simple but highly effective rope trick that would do any Batman villain proud.
Haunted by her past and driven by fury at abusive men (like the wife-beating CEO who gets caught up in Lisbeth’s top-of-the-trailer snare), the title character battles her way through any number of action-packed adventures in this first-look trailer.
Directed by Fede Alvarez (2016’s Don’t Breathe) from a screenplay adaptation by Steven Knight and Alvarez & Jay Basu, The Girl in the Spider’s Web also stars Sverrir Gudnason, Lakeith Stanfield, Sylvia Hoeks, Stephen Merchant, Claes Bang, Christopher Convery, Synnøve Macody Lund and Vicky Krieps.
Producers are Scott Rudin, Ole Søndberg,...

Global casting call underway for actress to play Lisbeth Salander in new ‘Millennium Series’ instalment. Thriller to open on October 5, 2018.
The studio announced the development at the London Book Fair on Monday and has set Fede Alvarez to direct from a screenplay by Steven Knight, Alvarez and Jay Basu.
The Girl In The Spider’s Web is the fifth book inspired by the late Scandinavian crime writer Stieg Larsson’s ‘Millennium Series’ that famously kicked off with The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and will be the first in the series to be produced in English in its initial adaptation.
David Lagercrantz wrote The Girl In The Spider’s Web and Alvarez, who directed last year’s horror break-out Don’t Breathe, is scheduled to commence shooting in September for release on October 5, 2018.

After years of rumors regarding who, exactly, will be in a sequel to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo — or if it will happen at all — Sony Pictures have now officially confirmed their plans. As reported last fall, Don’t Breathe director Fede Alvarez will be staying in business with the company to direct The Girl in the Spider’s Web, which Steven Knight (Locke, Eastern Promises) adapted from David Lagercrantz, but don’t expect to see any familiar faces.
Sony has announced today that the ensemble for this follow-up will be “entirely new” and a worldwide search has commenced to take over the Lisbeth Salander role, last played by Rooney Mara and Noomi Rapace. There had previously been rumors that Alicia Vikander was circling the part, but she has long been unattached, so with this global search underway, perhaps we’ll see some new talent fill out this cast.

In theaters on December 21st, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is the first film in Columbia Pictures’ and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures’ three-picture adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s literary blockbuster The Millennium Trilogy. Directed by David Fincher and starring Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara, the film is based on the first novel in the trilogy, which altogether have sold 65 million copies in 46 countries and become a worldwide phenomenon.
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo introduced readers to financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist and avenging hacker Lisbeth Salander. With Salander, Larsson forged a heroine unlike any who had come before in the wide-ranging world of crime thrillers – a punk prodigy whose appearance warns people to stay away, who doesn’t interact “normally” with others, yet whose personal link to those who have been violated lures her into helping Mikael solve the disappearance of Harriet Vanger. Her pursuit of retribution and her tenuous partnership...

Last week some audiences in attendance to promo screenings of Straw Dogs and Moneyball were treated with a special surprise 8-minute trailer for David Fincher's big screen adaptation of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. You can read my enthusiastic report here [1], where I pleaded that Sony release the extended trailer online. While that doesn't seem like a possibility, Fincher has convinced the studio to release an extended trailer about half the length -- three minutes and forty five seconds (which is still about double the length of most full length trailers released by studios). Hit the jump to watch the trailer now. Please leave your thoughts in the comments below. You can also watch the trailer in beautiful high definition on Apple.com [2].

Søren Stærmose is the award-winning producer from Yellow Bird films, the production and distribution company behind both the original Swedish and Kenneth Branagh versions of Wallander. However, it was with its film adaptations of Stieg Larsson’s Millennium trilogy that it really hit the big time, with The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo becoming not only the biggest Swedish film ever, but a huge international smash as well.

Close behind was Darren Aronofsky’s “Black Swan” with 12 nominations, followed by Christopher Nolan’s “Inception” with nine. Danny Boyle’s “127 Hours” and the Coen brothers’ “True Grit” each came away with eight.
Each of the aforementioned pictures and David Fincher’s Golden Globe-winning “The Social Network” are in the hunt for best film honors.

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) have announced their nominations for the 2011 BAFTA Awards (the British equivalent of the Oscars). There’s no real big surprises on the list. The Social Network has been dominating awards circles in North America but The King’s Speech is leading the BAFTAs with 14 nominations, including Best Picture and Outstanding British Film. Black Swan (voted best film here at Sound On Sight) has 12 nominations, True Grit 8 nominations, and Inception 9 nominations. Personally I think the most interesting category is the “Outstanding Debut By a British writer, director, or producer”, which includes the likes of Gareth Edwards (Monsters), Chris Morris (Four Lions), and Banksy (Exit Through the Gift Shop). I can’t wait to see who wins, and I’d be happy with either of these three talented filmmakers.
Hit the jump for a full list of the nominations. Winners will be announced on February 13th.

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts has announced its full list of nominees for its annual awards -- think the British Oscars. "The King's Speech" leads the way with 14 nominations, followed by "Black Swan" with 12, "Inception" with nine and "True Grit" with eight nominations, which is eight more than it received from the Golden Globes.
Interestingly, Barbara Hershey got the Best Supporting Actress nom from "Black Swan" and not Mila Kunis, who was the nominee in that category for both the Critics Choice and Golden Globes. Also absent from the nomination list is Melissa Leo, who has won Best Supporting Actress from both the Critics Choice and the Golden Globe for "The Fighter." Her co-star Amy Adams is nominated.

The coveted role of Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher's upcoming film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has been filled by actress Rooney Mara who was last seen in the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street.
Fincher went on a world wide hunt for a actress to take on this character and it looks like he found it in Mara, who beat out pretty much every young actress in Hollywood who was gunning for the role. Some of which included Ellen Page, Carey Milligan and Scarlett Johansson. The deal Mara made includes an option for two sequels that will cover The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest, the second and third books in the Millennium Trilogy by the late author Stieg Larsson.

The casting of Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher’s remake of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, the first part of Stieg Larsson’s Millenium trilogy, has been the subject of much speculation in recent months. For a long time, the assumption was that it would go to Natalie Portman, but other names in the frame have included Emma Watson, Ellen Page and Carey Mullgrew.
Earlier today Deadline scooped the announcement that Rooney Mara had been cast as Salander. Mara, last seen in the A Nightmare on Elm Street remake earlier this year, seems very canny casting. She has a slightly otherworldly air about her, and is like the other actresses considered, very slight.
Since the piece by Deadline, Sony have issued a press release confirming the casting:
