In a wide-ranging conversation with The Wrap’s Sharon Waxman, Sony co-chairman Amy Pascal reveals her direction for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
SW: But, for example, “Dragon Tattoo,” that’s a big bet you’re making. You signed up to make three of those movies, right?AP: Yes, that’s a big tentpole franchise.
SW: I imagine that’s why you’re doing it. Have we confirmed the lead in that movie?
AP: No, we have not.
SW: And the girl, is she cast?
AP: No, we are going to do a global search on her. Every actress in the world wants it. It’s the greatest character for a girl since I-don’t-know-what.
SW: But she won’t have a stud in her nose.
AP: Oh, just wait and see. We’re doing the book. That’s why we hired David Fincher. We’re going to really do this, in all their glory. Otherwise why do it? They’re very R-rated movies. It’s the shock of what’s really going on underneath the surface of society. If you don’t actually make good on that, you haven’t told the story.
