Sky has greenlit "the long-gestating" Girl with the Dragon Tattoo TV series from Steve Lightfoot and Angela LaManna (Behind Her Eyes) and The Crown producer Left Bank, Deadline reported. The series is based on the bestselling Millennium book series by Stieg Larsson.
"The big-budget adaptation comes 15 years after the movie starring Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara, which, as with the new TV show, came from Sony Pictures Entertainment," Deadline noted. Three English-language movies were made and were preceded by a Swedish film trilogy featuring Michael Nyqvist and Noomi Rapace.
Casting has not yet been set for the new TV project, which is described as a "bold and contemporary reimagining" and is currently being shopped to the U.S., Deadline noted.
