The Girl in the Spider’s Web / The Past Never Forgets

The Girl in the Spider’s Web,
based on the novel by David Lagercrantz

This is the fifth film adaption of Stieg Larsson’s Millennium series, about world-class hacker Lisbeth Salander and investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist. It’s based on the fourth book in the series, the first not to have been written by Larsson, but it’s also reboot of the David Fincher’s series of American adaptations, which only ever got around to adapting the first book. In short, it’s a whole new start, so don’t worry about it! The Crown’s Claire Foy takes over as Lisbeth, with Don’t Breathe director Fede Alvarez directing.
The Girl in the Spider's Web (Millennium Series #4)
Chapter 1


Computer hacker Lisbeth Salander and journalist Mikael Blomkvist find themselves caught in a web of spies, cyber criminals and corrupt government officials.

The film is a soft-reboot with different actors, is a sequel to David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and the second installment in the American-produced Millennium film series.

The picture stars Claire Foy, taking over the role of Lisbeth Salander from Rooney Mara, and follows Salander as she tries to rescue and exact vengeance for battered women. Sverrir Gudnason, LaKeith Stanfield, Sylvia Hoeks, and Stephen Merchant also appear in the film. It is scheduled to be released by Sony Pictures Releasing in Sweden on October 26, 2018, and in the United States on November 9, 2018. Cited: Wiki
The Past Never Forgets:
What did you think of this second trailer?
'I do not envy this film. For us film nerds, David Fincher’s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was the definitive take on the character of Lisbeth Salander and the dark, twisted world she lives in. With The Girl in the Spider’s Web, we’re essentially fast-forwarding through all the drama that followed that first film, and are left with what many fans think is an inferior take on the character.' — Joseph Jammer Medina, LMR
