A few weeks ago, a lucky few were treated to an eight-minute, extended trailer for David Fincher’s take on The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Those who saw it gave great feedback, and it has been expected that it would leak online very quickly. However it’s taken longer than expected, but now it’s here. It’s definitely worth watching, if just to wallow in Fincher’s wonderful style. It certainly make you want to see the rest of the film. The movie revolves around a mystery concerning the long-unsolved disappearance of an heiress. A journalist (Daniel Craig) recently threatened with imprisoned due to a libel case and a young female hacker (Rooney Mara) try to solce the case, stirring up bundles of personal and industrial corruption along the way involving the powerful but slightly strange Vanger family. The movie is out on Boxing Day.
Fincher Re-Teaming With Se7en Writer For 20,000 Leagues
It’s taking them a long time to develop it, but David Fincher is still keen to direct Disney’s new take on the classic 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, seeing it as his chance to make a massive tentpole family movie.
Getting the screenplay right is proving tough though. Numerous writers have had a crack at the script, including Scott Z. Burns, Michael Chabon, Justin Marks, Bill Marsilii and Randall Wallace, but now Deadline reports that Fincher is going to a name from his past to see what he can come up with – Andrew Kevin Walker.
Walker and Fincher both made their names with Se7en, but haven’t worked together properly since. Jules Verne’s book is about the adventures of Captain Nemo and his crew aboard the submarine, Nautilus. However it’s believed the film will bear little resemblance to the book, other than the three characters, Captain Nemo, French marine biologist Professor Pierre Aronnax, and master harpoonist Ned Land.
It still isn’t knownn when 20,000 Leagues will go into production, although it may be a while, as it’s known that Disney is already worried about how many massive budget movies it’s got in production, so will likely want to clear its decks a little before making this one.
