‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ Sequel Wants ‘Don’t Breathe’ Director Fede Alvarez
Don’t Breathe was a dope movie. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was whatever, with a dope cast. I’m fine with the director of the former helming the latter.
Fede Alvarez, the critically acclaimed director of the hit films “Evil Dead” and last summer’s “Don’t Breathe,” is Sony’s choice to direct “The Girl in the Spider’s Web,” the sequel to David Fincher’s 2011 thriller “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” TheWrap has learned.
The selection came as Alvarez and Sony discussed the director’s potential next project for the studio, following his box office success with Sony’s “Don’t Breathe,” which grossed $150 million worldwide on a $9 million budget. His 2013 horror reboot”Evil Dead” earned $97 million worldwide on a $17 million budget.
Oscar-nominated writer Steven Knight (“Locke”) has written the screenplay for “Spider’s Web,” which will pick up the adventures of hacker heroine Lisbeth Salander.
