David Fincher is bringing your favorite Swedish hacker missy Lisbeth Salander to life in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo — but he almost tackled Spider - Man instead . In our undivided interview , the director tell us how he would have treat the WWW - slinger … and walked us through his operatic title succession in swell point .
Fincher has been on the Spider - Man inadequate leaning for some time . In 1999 Fincher passed on the opportunity to take Spider - Man . And last January he was one of the namestossed aroundto reboot the Spider - Man movies , before Marc Webb claim the job . unhappily he never took the gig — but here ’s what he told us about his programme :
My impression what Spider - Man could be is very different from what Sam [ Raimi ] did or what Sam wanted to do . I cogitate the reason he mastermind that movie was because he wanted to do the Marvel comic superhero . I was never interested in the genesis story . I could n’t get past a guy rope get bit by a red and aristocratic spider . It was just a problem … It was not something that I feel I could do direct - faced . I wanted to jump with Gwen Stacy and the Green Goblin , and I want to stamp out Gwen Stacy .

The form of address succession of the movie that I was going to do was going to be a ten mo — basically a music telecasting , an opera , which was go to be the one stab that took you through the entire Peter Parker [ backstory ] . Bit by a radio active spider , the death of Uncle Ben , the loss of Mary Jane , and [ then the moving-picture show ] was going to begin with Peter meeting Gwen Stacy . It was a very unlike thing , it was n’t the teenager story . It was much more of the guy who ’s settled into being a monstrosity .
We ’ve get enough more of our Fincher interview , talk about Dragon Tattoo , later this workweek . The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo opens in dramaturgy on Tuesday , December 20th .
