From Anya Taylor-Joy to Jodie Comer: who will star in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’s TV remake?

The previous actors to take the lead in Stieg Larsson’s franchise were excellent. So the successor to Noomi Rapace, Rooney Mara and Claire Foy is bound to be brilliant – whoever they are … This week Sky announced that it will be remaking Stieg Larsson’s 2005 novel The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo as an eight-part television series. So far, all we know is that it will be set in the present day and will be written by Steve Lightfoot and Angela LaManna. What we don’t know is who will play Lisbeth Salander, the aforementioned girl with the dragon tattoo. And this will be a big deal, because previous screen adaptations of Larsson’s books have made stars of whoever was cast as Salander. In 2009’s Swedish adaptation, she was played by Noomi Rapace, who was nominated for a Bafta. In David Fincher’s 2011 remake, she was played by Rooney Mara, who was nominated for an Oscar. And in 2018’s The Girl in the Spider’s Web adaptation, she was played by Claire Foy, who wasn’t nominated for a Bafta or an Oscar, but was still very good. Continue reading...

'We’re watching closely' - Turkey's Fidan warns Iran instability would shake region, questions Israel's commitment to Gaza peace plan

'We’re watching closely' - Turkey's Fidan warns Iran instability would shake region, questions Israel's commitment to Gaza peace plan

"Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said in Istanbul on Thursday that Ankara is closely monitoring developments in Iran, warning that instability there would have regional implications. “Everything that will happen in Iran closely concerns us. We are following these developments very closely,” he said. “Solving Iran's problems with major international actors and avoiding scenarios of instability that will spread across the entire region, is also in our interest.” Turning to the situation in the Gaza Strip, Fidan claimed that Israel was not “strongly supportive of implementing the peace plan that the international community wants to apply,” despite the announcement of a second phase of the plan. He claimed that “Israel’s ultimate goal is for the Palestinians to leave Gaza.” On Wednesday, Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff announced the launch of the second phase of the US peace plan for Gaza, which includes the establishment of a Palestinian administration run by a technocratic government. Hamas and Israel reached a ceasefire agreement that came into effect on October 10, 2025, under the 20-point 'Trump Plan', which includes an immediate halt to fighting, the release of all hostages, whether alive or deceased, and the delivery of humanitarian aid into the enclave."
