Anyhew...I was just reading on Collider.com's website that David Lagercrantz who has carried on the "Millenium" series of books that were written by Stieg Larssen until his death in 2004 of a heart attack that featured the adventurers of Lisbeth Salander that was played by Noomi Rapace, a very gifted computer hacker that if you've not seen the films,-I don't know why you wouldn't have as these films were massive but the less said about the English reboot the better in my opinion, that starred Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig as I really don't know why after the first set of Swedish speaking films you'd redo the film as they were so good,- who is an orphan and a ward of the state but is sent to a psychiatric hospital and is abused but she has money that is controlled by her guardian that years after she is released from the hospital doesn't allow her to use her money to pay for a new laptop and in the first film "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" along with controversial investigative journalist Mikhael Blomkvist who was played by Michael Nyqvist who runs "Millennium Magazine" find out what happened to a girl who disappeared years ago and Lisbeth also takes her money and runs but later takes her guardian to court using footage of him abusing her that she took herself from a hidden camera will have this series of books continued with the latest addition to the "Millennium" book series "The Girl In The Spider's Web" that was written by David Lagencrantz being planned to be adapted by Sony and production for this is already according to this article on Collider.com's website set to start in Berlin and Stockholm in January and is also according to this same article has a release date already pencilled in for October 19th 2018.
