Showrunner Veena Sud has offered an intriguing update on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo reboot TV series. The forthcoming Prime Video project will serve as the third adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s 2005 novel of the same name. Niels Arden Oplev gave the first live-action feature adaptation of the source material in 2009 with Noomi Rapace as the protagonist Lisbeth Salander. David Fincher’s English-language version came out in 2011, featuring talents like Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig.
Veena Sud opened up about the upcoming reboot TV series in a recent interview with Screen Rant. She revealed that she was “excited” to bring her adaptation of Larsson’s novel to the viewers on Prime Video. However, she did not reveal much about the series.
“Well, it’s a little bit under wraps right now, so I can’t reveal too much other than to say. Welcome to female rage. It’s strong, it’s powerful, and it’s going to take some s–t down in the next few years. So, I’m excited that we get to see, again, a new version of a woman who just refuses to follow the rules.”
Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo novel revolves around Lisbeth Salander, a computer hacker with a traumatic past. She has survived severe sexual and emotional abuse. What stands out the most about her is her outlandish appearance. She likes keeping unconventional hairstyles and piercings. Plus, she mostly wears clothes made up of black leather.
Lisbeth is a skilled hacker and possesses knowledge of self-defense. Her strange appearance helps her to protect herself from being too weak and keep a safe distance from people. Stay tuned for more updates.
