Christopher Plummer has joined the cast of David Fincher’s adaptation of Stig Larsson’s novel The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
Plummer will be playing Henrik Vanger, the man who hires disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) to investigate the disappearance of his beloved great-niece who vanished four decades earlier. Oddly, Max Von Sydow had been previously linked to the role and there seems to be no word as to why he no longer is.
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo starts shooting later this year for a December 21, 2011 release.
