Sony has set a release date of December 21, 2011 for its English-language remake of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo."
According to Variety, Sony is in advanced talks with Daniel Craig to star.
"Dragon" is the first book in author Stieg Larsson's hit Swedish trilogy. It was originally adapted for the screen by Danish director Niels Arden Oplev and grossed $12.1 million.
Sony's version will be directed by David Fincher from a script by Steven Zaillian. Scott Rudin will produce.
Craig would play disgraced financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist, who teams up with a female hacker to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a woman 40 years prior.
Sony is expected to go with an unknown actress for the title role of hacker Lisbeth Salander and is hoping that the film will launch a new franchise for the studio.
