Sony have confirmed that both sequels to “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” American remake have been commissioned and that the scripts are complete. The scripts for “The Girl Who Played With Fire” and “The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest” have both be wrote by screenwriter, Steve Zaillian.

Filming should hopefully begin either the end of this year or the beginning of 2013 at the latest, with both stars of the first film, Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara, reprising their roles. Director David Fincher has still yet to sign the dotted line for returning for the sequels.

Hopefully Fincher will return because the first film was outstanding and I haven’t even seen the Swedish original, but I ordered it online and it’s arrived so I’ll watch it soon. I liked the opening credits for Fincher’s one, so here’s the link to the credits on YouTube:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcp9Ysi75f0

Earlier today Directors Guild of America President Taylor Hackford announced the five nominees for the DGA Award forOutstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film for 2011. It’s a solid list of nominations, but I’m surprised that Steven Spielberg isn’t on the list for his work on War Horse. I still haven’t seen The Artist or The Descendants, but I’m hoping to see those soon.
