Rooney Mara Claims She Is Still Involved With 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' Sequel

Columbia Pictures

Will she or won’t she? That’s the big question swirling around the next big screen adventure of Lisbeth Salander, the main character in author Steig Larsson’s Millenium series. The first American feature was 2011’s adaptation of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, which earned actress Rooney Mara an Oscar nomination for playing Lisbeth.

But now, with word spreading that another film with Salander at its center is set to begin filming — The Girl in the Spider’s Web — some reports say Mara won’t be back to reprise her role. But Mara doesn’t seem to know it.

In a video posted at E! Online, Mara relays that she “of course” would love another shot at the role and is “doing it until someone tells me I’m not.”

Someone may want to tell that to Sony, which is said to be courting Alicia Vikander from The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and Ex Machina for the role.

Mara is currently gathering Oscar steam for her work in Carol, a drama from director Todd Haynes about the relationship between a department store clerk (Mara) and an older, suburban housewife (Cate Blanchett) in the 1950s.

Mara who starred as the hacker Lisbeth Salander said this about doing a sequel: “I think that was just a rumor. I don’t get any updates on that. I would love to continue playing that part. It’s something I’ve really wanted to do now for the last three years, or however long it has been.”

Mara then added “I just don’t know, it’s been so long now. I really, really, really would still love to do it. But I’ve had to come to peace with the fact that I probably won’t.”

It has been rumored that the two novels “The Girl Who Played With Fire” and “The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets’ Nest” could be made into one film.

Based on a report by screenrant.com, Daniel Craig who is famously known for playing James Bond was also rumored to be removed by the studio along with director David Fincher due to budget constraints.

According to cheatsheet.com, the only development of these possible sequels is that there is a script ready by “Schindler’s List” writer Steve Zaillan which was rewritten by “Seven” screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker.

David Fincher was previously reported by variety.com saying this about any possible developments: “I think because (Sony) already has spent millions of dollars on the rights and the script, it will result in something,” the director of the “The Social Network” said.

“The script that we now have has huge potential. I can reveal that it is extremely different from the book,” Fincher concluded.
