Director Fede Alvarez is Sony's favourite to helm The Girl in the Spider's Web, a follow-up to the 2011 Oscar-winning movie.
Following the success of his Don't Breathe, Alvarez is eyed to helm a follow-up to David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
The movie will be based on the new novel by David Lagercrantz, who took over the series after its original author Stieg Larsson passed away.
It centres on Lizbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist, who were played by Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig respectively in the first movie, as they uncover a web of government spies.
There is no information if the original stars will return. Oscar nominee Steven Knight is attached to write the screenplay.
Scott Rudin, Amy Pascal, Elizabeth Cantillon and Yellow Bird's Ole Sondberg and Soren Staermose are on board to produce the upcoming movie, with David Beaubaire overseeing for the studio.
