The Dragon Tattoo film series[2][3] consists in films based on the Millennium book series, which were written by Stieg Larsson and David Lagercrantz. The plot centers around Lisbeth Salander, an asocial computer hacker, and Mikael Blomkvist, an investigative journalist and publisher of a magazine called Millennium, as they investigate criminal injustices.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, an adaption of the first novel in the series, was released in 2011. It was written by Steven Zaillian and directed by David Fincher, with Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara starring as Blomkvist and Salander. Along with Dragon Tattoo, Fincher and Zaillian signed a two-picture deal to adapt The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest.[4]
The Girl in the Spider's Web, an adaption of the first novel in the second trilogy was released in 2018. The film was marketed as a relaunch of the franchise and featured a different cast, but was chronologically a sequel to Fincher's film. It is directed by Fede Álvarez, and stars Claire Foy as Salander and Sverrir Gudnason as Blomkvist.[5]
