It seems as though Sony Pictures will be giving the English language adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo the treatment it deserves — David Fincher is reportedly set to direct.

According to The Playlist:

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is definitely Fincher’s next film… The English-language version is being produced by Scott Rudin at Sony with Steve Zaillian currently writing the script. Shooting is set to begin in September or October.

The Playlist also notes Carey Mulligan’s possible involvement, another stroke of good news. Having read the books, I can tell you the trilogy is fantastic. It’s nice to have a director of Fincher’s prodigious talent (Fight Club, Benjamin Button, Zodiac) involved.
