Three More Added To David Fincher’s ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’
Hot off the success ofThe Social Network, directorDavid Fincheris currently directing the American remake ofThe Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.We already know the adaptation of the popular book by Stieg Larsson will starRooney Maraas Lisbeth Salander andDaniel Craigas Mikael Blomkvist plus Fincher just announced that actorsJoely Richardson(Nip/Tuck),Steven Berkoff(A Clockwork Orange) andDavid Dencik, who appears in the original Swedish film, will join a cast that already includesRobin Wright Penn, Christopher PlummerandStellan Skarsgård. Hit the jump for more.Fincher broke the news of his new actors in an interview with Swedish websiteSvD. He also talked a bit about the film, saying that he’s so early in the process “I have not had time to figure out some cliché answers yet to use when I asked about it.” He also urged people to know that he loves the original film but they are adapting the book, not the movie, so it will be different. “I’m looking to try to catch Sweden,” Fincher said." I hope I can find an atmosphere reminiscent ofChinatown."
As to who these three actors are playing, just based on their looks it seems like Richardson might be Harriet, the missing girl that sets the whole story in motion and Berkoff could be Lisbeth’s caretaker Nils Bjurman, a real creep of a man. As for Dencik, he played Janne Dahlman, the publisher of Blomkvist’s magazine, in the original film so maybe he’s reprising the role as a nod to the fans. This all pure speculation, however.
Fincher’sThe Girl with the Dragon Tattoois scheduled for release August 18, 2025. Are you guys excited to see Fincher’s take on this material or worried that he’s doing a remake of such a popular book and film series?
