Both films were directed by Sweden’s Daniel Alfredsson, star Mikael Nyqvist as journalist Mikael Blomquist and Noomi Rapace as IT hacker Lisbeth Salander. “The last two films will focus to an even greater extent on Lisbeth Salander and her story. All Salander fans will definitely be satisfied,” said producer Sören Stærmose of Yellow Bird.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has been seen by over 2.5m people in the Nordic countries so far. Last weekend, the film was still number one in Sweden and number three in Denmark after nine weeks, and number two in Norway after seven weeks.
The first instalment of the thriller will open in France on May 13 and Italy and Spain on May 29.
