While we impatiently wait for the sequel to The Girl Who Played With Fire, Deadline is reporting that director David Fincher and star Rooney Mara are possibly attached to the adaptation of the spy book Red Sparrow, currently being written by American Hustle author Eric Warren Singer.
This would be the plot, per deadline:
We have no doubt that Fincher would take the “sexpionage” and make it super dark and creepy, because that’s just what he does. And really, we’re OK with it.
It sounds like this movie is going to be fast-tracked even though it hasn’t even been written yet, so we’ll likely get to see some Rooney Mara spy seduction on the screen long before we revisit Lisbeth and Mikael’s super weird romance.
Either way, expect a lot of brooding.
