Daniel Craig will star in the English-language remake of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, plus the two potential follow-ups based on author Stieg Larsson's best-selling trilogy.
Fight Club director David Fincher is on board to direct the adaptation, which Steve Zaillian is writing and Scott Rudin is producing for film studio Sony Pictures.
With development and production on the next James Bond film recently halted in the midst of MGM's endless financial restructuring, Craig needed a new job. The Larsson trilogy provides him with another franchise to nurture.
Noomi Rapace as Lisbeth Salander and Michael Nyqvist as Mikael Blomkvist in the original film.
Music Box Films is in the process of releasing the original Swedish-language film adaptations in the United States. Tattoo has grossed $US9.6 million ($10.7 million) in the US and $US92 million internationally.
The second film, The Girl Who Played With Fire, has grossed $US2.9 million in the US since its release this month. It grossed $US51 million internationally. The film is due for release in Australia in September.
A third movie, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, is scheduled to be released in the US later this year.
