The last time American viewers saw Swedish hacker Lisbeth Salander on the big screen, it was 2011, when the English-language remake of the Swedish film The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo starred Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig. The movie was produced by the Sony-owned Columbia Pictures, the company that owns the rights to Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy of books and the subsequent books in that universe authored after Larsson's 2004 death. For fans of the 2011 film, Mara was the perfect Lisbeth - so the announcement in 2017 that the series would be recast with The Crown's Claire Foy was met with some puzzlement. Before the new film, The Girl in the Spider's Web, debuts in November, here's as much of the story as we know.
Larsson's Millennium Trilogy was originally adapted into a Swedish-language film trilogy starring Noomi Rapace; the 2011 film was an English-language remake of the first in that trilogy.
