David Fincher’s glittering career began with the not so exciting Alien 3, his feature debut. He then surprised us all by following it up with Seven, The Game, Fight Club, Panic Room, Zodiac, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and The Social Network. He bravely ventured back into a potential franchise with 2011’s greatly successful The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, an adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s books and the Swedish trilogy of films. Talks for a sequel, The Girl Who Played With Fire, seemed to have died down until Fincher began promoting his latest Oscar hopeful Gone Girl.
“I think because Sony already has spent millions of dollars on the rights and the script so it will result in something. The script that we now have a huge potential, I can reveal as much as it is extremely different from the book.” Should the project be realised, it’d star Daniel Craig (Skyfall, Casino Royale, Munich, Layer Cake, Road to Perdition) and Rooney Mara (Her, The Social Network, Side Effects).
