Keira Knightley and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

Beautiful and talented actresses Anne Hathaway, Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley are reportedly each being considered for the lead role in the remake of ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’.

Oscar-nominated ‘An Education’ star Carey Mulligan, ‘Juno’ actress Ellen Page as well as Natalie Portman are also apparently interested in the lead role in the new version of the film, reported Contactmusic.

The film is based on the novel by Swedish author Stiegg Larsson and even ‘Twilight’ star Kristen Stewart is being considered as an option for the lead.

However, the movie’s director (David Fincher) isn’t sure whether he wants to cast an established star or an unknown actress in the lead role.

“David is not sure if he wants to go with an actress of any note or go with an unknown. David’s process is very specific and private. He’s looking for authenticity and a degree of fierceness and believability capable of delivering the intensity that the part on the page calls for,” said a source.

Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt is believed to have been offered the male lead in the film.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo – a Swedish version of which was released in cinemas earlier this year – is the
first in a trilogy, followed by The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest.
