But one of the unknowns in their plan was whether director David Fincher would be back to helm the second and third installments.<\/p>\n<p>But Sony does want the director, they&#8217;re either going to have to make a convincing argument as to why he should take the job or else move their planned start date for the film of late 2012\/early 2103 as <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20160304112128\/http:\/\/blogs.indiewire.com\/theplaylist\/sony-officially-planning-to-make-dragon-tattoo-sequels-but-david-fincher-is-looking-to-direct-20-000-leagues-instead\" target=\"_blank\">The Playlist<\/a> is reporting that Fincher is looking to make his next project his long in development adaption of Jules Verne&#8217;s <strong>20,000 Leagues Under The Sea<\/strong> and is hoping to shoot in the last quarter of this year. And with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2012\/01\/09\/directors-guild-nominations-snub-spielberg\/\" target=\"_blank\">yesterday<\/a>&#8216;s Directors Guild Award nomination, <strong>The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo<\/strong> is now situated as a frontrunner in the Oscars race. Sony will indeed wish to capitalize on thany awards season wins as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Fincher has been developing this project for several years now. Right now there is a new draft of the screenplay being worked on by Andrew Kevin Walker and the Playlist&#8217;s unnamed source is stating that the director would like to be shooting before the year&#8217;s end. This, of course, would put it just around the same time that Sony wants to get cameras rolling on <strong>The Girl Who Played With Fire<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Would Fincher be willing to go straight from wrapping the shooting on <strong>Leagues<\/strong> to shooting <strong>Fire<\/strong> while trying to simultaneously oversee the post-production work on the former? It has been done before. Steven Spielberg has even done it twice &#8211; Once moving on from<strong> Jurassic Park<\/strong> to <strong>Schindler&#8217;s List<\/strong> and more recently with <strong>The Adventures Of Tintin<\/strong> and <strong>War Horse<\/strong>.\u00a0 It should be noted that in both cases, Spielberg was coming off of a visual effects-laden film. Perhaps the presumably visual effects-heavy post-production work for <strong>Leagues<\/strong> will allow Fincher to be able to perform a similar maneuver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">Is the director looking to take a trip 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA?<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2012\/01\/10\/why-fincher-might-not-be-back-for-dragon-tattoo-sequels\/\" title=\"Why Fincher Might Not Be Back For DRAGON TATTOO Sequels\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[2774,1304,4653,3053],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-18109","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news","7":"tag-20000-leagues-under-the-sea","8":"tag-david-fincher","9":"tag-the-girl-who-played-with-fire","10":"tag-the-girl-with-the-dragon-tattoo"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[2],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18109"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18109\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18109"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=18109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
