Why wouldn't they ask Mara back, at the very least?
Bad move, Sony.

Really sad to see that Mara is not involved.

Mara wants to do it; unless they blame her for the film not being a mega hit, her schedule conflicts, or she wanted too much money, then they have no reason to recast her. But I'd say this is more like continuing Bond with a new actor, rather than a reboot.
I would suggest Alicia Vikander, but I'm sure she doesn't have the time for this.
Craig, though, he was poorly miscast, so good riddance.

Moderately successful? It was an R rated, Sweden-set mystery thriller about rape and misogyny that made $232 million and was nominated for five Oscars. What the fuck more did Sony want? As for this new Lisbeth "search"...congrats to Jane Levy. I'm sure she'll do fine. |

As for this new Lisbeth "search"...congrats to Jane Levy. I'm sure she'll do fine. The movie was far from successful, for a giant budget adaption of one of the biggest book phenomenon of all time, a trilogy that sold 80 million books around the world, that is not that far from Twilight, about the same or bigger than Hunger games, the Sweden version of the movie achieved to do 100 million WW. Sony expected way (well way... significantly more, a good 15-20% more) more than 232 million WW, the movie had a 111.87 million net production budget and a world release P&A of 107.55 million, Sony lost 8 million on that movie, third party financier lost 2.82 million. It never got a sequel for a reason. |

Yeah, let's make a sequel to a film and not have the people that made it great involved! What could possibly go wrong?

I'm not sure Fincher or Daniel Craig are available, but I think it is fair to assume that a Fincher sequel (or getting Daniel Craig to sign for a series) would cost way too much, like the first movie. It was probably just not a realistic option to get the people that made the first involved, and the first did loose money so I'm not sure they wanted them back that much to start with. |

Fincher's had 5 Oscar nods and PGA and DGA nods. Mars gets nominated for an Oscar - she has said she wants to do it again. They could have had a great adult trilogy.
Not that this needs to be said, but it's all about the money. Jane Leavy will probably star too.

Thats somehow a shame. I really love the 2nd and 3rd book (and Swedish film version) and it annoys me that they'Re starting all over again  I still doubt though that this will be overly successful, the tone/setting is quite different to the 1st one |

It never got a sequel for a reason. Why a movie like Girl With The Dragon Tattoo would gross less than Twilight and The Hunger Games should be fairly obvious. Not a lot of tweens dragging their bfs to see movies about Swedish girls forced to give blowjobs to their legal guardians for food money, I reckon. Then it doubled the Swedish version's "achievement", so not seeing the strike there. Maybe I should be running Sony, because I could have told them they would be lucky to get $232 million six years ago. I don't know about your numbers in the second paragraph, but okay. |

An giant budget Hollywood english movie is supposed to do much more than a movie made in Swedish, by a bigger ratio than 2.3 time.
I'm not saying that they expected to do Twilight numbers (come-on now, I'm talking about doing 15-20% more, obviously not 600 million WW), but that was such giant book phenomenon that it is normal for a studio to expect that to translate into some box office success, and it could have reached over 300+ million worldwide (maybe it would have with a fall release instead of a Christmas one).
All those number are available from the Sony leak, for some reason it is the Sony movie that Netflix seem to have paid the most for thought.

Curious why do a few people keep saying Jane Levy's name? The director has cast her as the lead in all of his movies so far. |

Sony are the worst studio out there, all they seem to release are reboots and remakes. Do they ever produce anything original?

Depend what you mean by original of course, a movie like Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk Sony produced is an adaptation, but still original in a lot of ways, they also made Passenger Don't Breathe Sausage Party The Shallows Money monster The Brothers Grimsby In 2017 outside the couple of original horrors movie they always do they will have: Rough Night Life Baby Driver The Solutrean And I guess some others I don't know about or remember. Disney on the other hand are now going 100% franchise this year live action wise, Coco being their only non franchise movie of the year. |

I don't see what everyone's so mad about. Fede Alvarez is going to be much better for this material than Fincher, who used it for masterbatory misery porn. I'm also glad they aren't continuing the trilogy, because if the Swedish films are any indication, the sequels suck ass.
Too bad about Mara, but I always preferred Rapace anyways. Levy would be terrific.
