IF/WHEN DRAGON TATTWO HAPPENS, FINCHER WOULD SHOOT IT SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THREE

Even if he would do the sequels all as one big project, that still sounds like an awfully grueling and grim shoot to be involved with. Good luck! Not sure if I want this film to succeed or not. It all depends on what will keep Craig as BOND. I want him to be successful (THOMAS CROWN style), but not too successful (Connery) that he can just walk. It's a dilemma

 

PS "TA2" is another letter number combination for them to go with

Has Fincher had any luck with working with other directors?

if he dosen't want to lose years to it I'd say he should do something similar to the TinTin Peter Jackson/Stephen Spielberg teamup where he's there to give input and help with pre production but gives control of maybe the second film to another director.

For a known control freak like Fincher, that doesn't seem like a likely option. I imagine he'd rather walk away completely than give up control over what really is half of one long story arc. I'll wait until I've seen the first one before I decide which option I prefer - as a fan of his work, I'd rather not see him tied up in a lost cause if he doesn't manage to somehow spin the first book into cinematic gold.

I haven't seen Dragon Tattoo yet but I'd want the second and third movies to be in the same family as the first, and the books really are connected.  The second is completely a set up for the third. 

I guess the real question is "when".  Will he move directly into these (allowing for more prep on his 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea project) or make something else first (Chef, Black Hole, etc.)?
