Fincher On "The Girl Who Played with Fire"

While speaking with The Art Of Title about the credit sequences in his films director David Fincher updated the progress on the English-language version of Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo follow-up "The Girl Who Played with Fire"--which recently saw its proposed release date from next Christmas to sometime in 2014.

The next book in the series is set a year later. Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) is approached by a young journalist couple with a meticulously researched thesis about Swedish sex trafficking ring invoving high-ranking public and private figures. When both they and Lisbeth Salander's (Rooney Mara) abusive former guardian is found murdered, Lisbeth is pegged as the prime suspect. The trail leads to a dark incident in Lisbeth's past and a mysterious figure known only as 'Zala' who is the key to everything.

Despite rumours that he is not going to call action. As is turns out he is still very much involved in preping the film. He tells the site "Well, [I'm] trying to figure out a sequel to 'Dragon Tattoo.' We’ve got to be able to make it our own thing."

Screenwriter Steven Zaillian is still working on the script.

Fincher is busy on the TV series "House Of Cards", the remake of the classic British political drama with Kevin Spacey taking over for Ian Richardson.
