Actors Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara, will return to star in Sony's upcoming sequel to "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", "The Girl Who Played With Fire".
The screenplay adaptation of "The Girl Who Played With Fire" is being written by Steven Zaillian.
Questionably marketed as an ugly serial killer, revenge movie, rather than as an urban 'love story' focusing on the blossoming of Rooney Mara's street-wise character, as director David Fincher intended, "Tattoo" is the English-language version of the Swedish thriller of the same name, based on the book by author Stieg Larsson.
"The Girl Who Played with Fire" features many of the characters that appeared in "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", including 'Lisbeth Salander', the brilliant computer hacker, social misfit and 'Mikael Blomkvist', dog-faced investigative journalist and publisher of 'Millennium' magazine :

If you haven’t seen The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo then you’ve probably read the book at least. And if you haven’t read the book, you probably know someone who has. If none of these scenarios apply to you – where on earth have you been?
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo has become a publishing phenomenon; and in turn, the movie based on this first instalment of a trilogy has become one of the better-known foreign language movies of recent times. It joins Let The Right One In as one of Sweden’s finest cinematic exports, and is also ripe for an American remake at the hands of David Fincher. It’s unfortunate that these two films in particular have been primed for an English language remake.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo [1] was a darling earlier in the year, lauded as one of the best of the year by some.
