10 Upcoming Movies That Nobody Asked For

10. The Girl In The Spider's Web

David Fincher's remake of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo may have earned critical praise, $232.4m at the box office and five Academy Award nominations, but difficulties in cracking the scripts for the two proposed sequels nixed the potential franchise at the first hurdle.

With this being Hollywood, no recognizable intellectual property is allowed to lay dormant for very long and this November brings a reboot in the form of The Girl in the Spider's Web, the source material of which wasn't even penned by original author Steig Larsson following his death in 2004.

Director Fede Alvarez has shown efficiency working in the horror genre, but this is a big step up for only his third full-length feature, especially with the shadow of one of the industry's greatest auteurs looming in the background which already creates an unfair barometer of his work on the movie.

While the casting of Golden Globe winner Claire Foy as Lisbeth Salander seems like an inspired choice and the usually-reliable Steven Knight is on script duties, the novel series reached its cultural zenith a decade ago which could make the project a tough sell to casual audiences. It isn't like there's a huge number of people clamoring to revisit a Swedish crime saga that's already been the subject of four movies.
