‘The Girl Who Played With Fire’ Gets Delayed Until 2014
Well, it seems that the sequel to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played With Fire, has been delayed. Funny, I was just discussing this movie today. Sony was planning on a late 2013 release for the sequel, although that is not the case anymore. Steven Zaillian is still currently working on the script, and the project will not move ahead until they have the screenplay locked in. The 2011 film was moderately successful making $220 million on a $90 million budget.
David Fincher, who directed the first movie, remains the studios top choice to make this follow-up, but no deals have been made yet. Apparently Sony is in zero rush when it comes to this sequel. Hopefully that is a good thing. Back in November, it was confirmed that Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara were both set to reprise their roles in the sequel.
