Despite less than stellar returns at the box office for David Fincher's English-language adaptation of the best seller "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," work continues on the film's sequel, "The Girl Who Played With Fire."
Entertainment Weekly quoted a source from Sony as stating, "['Dragon Tattoo'] continues to do strong business and nothing has changed with respect to development of the next book."
To date, the first film in the potential trilogy has grossed about $59 million at the domestic box office on a reported production budget of $90 million, though it has yet to open in most overseas markets.
According to EW's source, "development continues" on the sequel, which is expected to be released in late 2013. Screenwriter Steven Zaillian is working on the script although Fincher has yet to confirm he will return.
Stars Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig have already signed on for both sequels should they come to fruitition.
Tuesday was a good day for the film, as it picked up nominations for Producer of the Year from the Producers Guild and Best Art Direction for a Contemporary Film from the Art Directors Guild.
