Filming on "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" began in Stockholm, Sweden in September 2010.
AB Media Publishing, LLC
Filming is currently taking place in Los Angeles on the Columbia Pictures feature film "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". The extras casting director is currently casting several very featured background artist roles, including Swedish, Spanish, and European looking types. Also sought is a very good long haired guitar player. This is for Los Angeles area talent only, no exceptions.
"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is a thriller film that is the second film based on the Swedish novel of the same name by Stieg Larsson. The first film was the 2009 Swedish-language adaptation. Two-time Academy Award nominated David Fincher is directing from an adapted screenplay written by Academy Award winning writer Steven Zaillian.
If it performs well, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" will in all likelyhood be the first film in a trilogy with the next two films titled "The Girl Who Played with Fire," and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest". Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara both have options in their contracts to reprise their roles in the next two films.
Steven Zaillian is executive producer for Film Rights, Mikael Wallen and Anni Faurbye Fernandez will executive produce for Yellow Bird Films, and Relativity Media Founder and CEO Ryan Kavanaugh will co-executive produce. Søren Stærmose, who produced the 2009 Swedish version of the film, will produce "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" along with Academy Award winning producer Scott Rudin and Yellow Bird Film's Ole Søndberg.

Story:
Harriet Vanger (Moa Garpendal), a scion of one of Sweden's wealthiest families disappeared over forty years ago. All these years later, her aged uncle Henrik Vanger (Christopher Plummer), continues to seek the truth. He hires Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig), a crusading journalist recently trapped by a libel conviction, to investigate. He is aided by the pieced and tattooed punk prodigy Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara). Together they tap into a vein of unfathomable iniquity and astonishing corruption.
