I was wondering if any of you guys had news on whether or not the US remake is going ahead? I know there has been struggle between fincher and the studio. I can't believe this hasn't been started yet. Last I heard was fincher was waiting on Andrew Kevin walker's (seven screen writer) rewrite after what I can only assume was a screenplay by steven zaillian that wasn't too impressive. I'm just fricking bummed this hasn't been done yet, and looking for some good news.
Fincher has already signed on to direct Gone Girl next, so that's probably another year before he could do it. At this point I just want someone to make the sequels if he can't. Obviously he's my first choice, but fricking goddamnit get it done.
Links would be greatly appreciated.

The first one didn't make a lot of money. If a second one gets made it will be with a different director and a much smaller budget.

Huh?

The 2011 thriller, co-starring Daniel Craig and directed by David Fincher, earned more than $100 million domestically, with Sony greenlighting a sequel in early 2012.

$100 mill domestically is not a lot of money? I don't know how much profit it made but this does not even include what it did internationally.

I'm not sure of the production costs of the first one, I know they were high, but I'm pretty sure it made its money back and then some and topped 100 mil domestically. I know it was widely reported that the studio was disappointed about the money, but I felt like that was pretty damn good considering the subject material, being rated r and them releasing it on Christmas and promoting it as the "feel bad movie".

Yeah, exactly my thoughts.

Trent Reznor's soundtrack was incredible. I really enjoyed the movie.

Awesome flick

Rooney Mara said a couple months ago that she hopes to film it. Problem is, the main cast and Fincher have a ton of shite they've moved onto. House of Cards, Gone Girl, Bond 24, Mara is in everything.
Also, they recently announced a script rewrite for the sequel.

Budget was $90 million.

+1000
I'm the biggest NIN/Reznor fan and two of my favorite albums of his are The Social Network and TGWTDT Scores, I own the both on CD, and I don't really buy physical music anymore

and it made $230 million worldwide.
give or take the studios cut would be about $115 million of that.
without adding in whatever they sold the TV rights for, DVD, bluray etc that really isnt a big enough profit to warrant a super quick turnaround for a sequel.

That's a great haul for that film. It's a hard-R drama in December starring zero bankable actors (at the time). I doubt Sony expected much more than that.

How does the American version compare to the Swedish version?
I watched the trilogy with subtitles and found it to be rather lackluster. Not bad. But just barely good.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I felt. I prefer mara's lisbeth to rapace's lisbeth, and fincher is tits...and reznor's ost kicks fricking arse.
I enjoyed the original Swedish flicks, but not as much as others.

I liked the American version better, except I liked the Swedish girl better.

if it was supposed to be a single film sure
but it was supposed to launch a franchise and those are not franchise launching numbers.

Again, it's a hard-R drama. Franchise or not, those are great numbers. There's no way Sony looked at the source material and thought they had a blockbuster on their hands. That amount of money was probably as good as they could've expected with that material.

If they had any other ideas they were high off their fricking asses. I'm sure they thought because of the phenomenon of the books it would be like hunger games/twilight type shite, but that was crazy unrealistic for a number of reasons.

I made sure to read the books before watching anything, and I've seen both American and the Swedish trilogy. The American version is a better in my opinion because it follows Mikael and Lisbeth's relationship a closer than the Swedish one, plus, it's doesn't move points of the plot around to make it more convenient for the film maker. Fincher did a fantastic job, and hope that he comes back for the next films.
Also the problem with its release wasn't the material, but more of the timing. It came out four days before Christmas. Not exactly the best time to release a film like that. Should have been released at the beginning of November.

Maybe. They thought they had an awards challenger on their hands and decided to release it when they did. They sort of had to pick their poison and get demolished by Twilight in November or Sherlock Holmes and Ghost Protocol in December.
