With his film "The Social Network" barely released, David Fincher has already begun production on his next directorial effort — the much-talked-about adaptation of Stieg Larsson's first Millennium trilogy novel, "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo."Speaking with the Swedish media, Fincher described his take on the source material to SVD (via a rough translation from ThompsonOnHollywood) as "Swedish noir" further noting that he was "looking to try to catch Sweden. I hope I can find an atmosphere reminiscent of "Chinatown." Steve Zaillian has written the new screenplay, and he has based it on the book and made his own version. Sure, there are scenes that will resemble ones in the Swedish film, but it is the book that we are filming. "
Closer, detailed looks at stars Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig have also been unveiled with the first batch of on-set photos from the Swedish production. Craig, admittedly, pretty much looks like his usual self playing Michael Blomkvist while Mara — who'll portray the bixsexual computer hacker Lisbeth Salander — looks quite unique even compared to Noomi Rapace in the Scandinavian adaptations. She definitely bares some similarity to Fincher's own inspiration for the character though, South African rapper Yo-Landi Vi$$er.
