FEET DRAGGING AND INABILITY TO SEE THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE

Now here's the thing. The remake of the Swedish film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (The original title was Men Who Hates Women) starring Daniel Craig as Mikael Blomkvist and Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander made $230 million in it's worldwide release. $102 million of that profit was made in the United States of America and $128 million in foreign countries. The remake of the Swedish film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo costed $90 million to make. Let's see, $230 million minus $90 million equals $140 million in profits after all the bills are paid in full. Well, that's still enough for to film a remake of the Swedish film (And sequal to the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Both for the film trilogy and the book trilogy that the film trilogy was based upon)). The problem with that is twofold.
1. David Fincher, who directed the remake of the Swedish film the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, has never directed a sequel in his life. He never believed in sequels and a new director might be needed.
2. Daniel Craig's third James Bond film, Skyfall, was such a huge hit that his minimum salary requirements has jumped higher than previously. However, since the remake of the Swedish film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo only made $140 million in profits after al the bills are paid in full, Daniel Craig's minimum salary requirements would be equal to the entire operation budget of the remake of the Swedish film the Girl who Played with Fire. As a result, the remake of the Swedish film the Girl who Played with Fire can't proceed into the filming stage because if the production company can't afford to pay Daniel Craig, then either a new Mikael Blomkvist may need to be hired or the character written off. And since Mikael Blomkvist is the central focus of the books and Swedish film trilogy The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the Girl who Played with Fire and the Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, that means that the second remake film is stuck in development purgatory with no way to move forward.
Daniel Craig claims that he's 100% committed and he's lowering his salary demands to make the film possible, but if that's the case then why isn't the remake of the Swedish film The Girl who Played with Fire isn't being filmed right now. It can't be because of the script because it's already written and passed all necessary requirements. So what's with the feet dragging that's slowing down the filming of the remake of the Swedish film The Girl who Played with Fire?
And as I'm lost in thought about the Swedish film industry, here are some photos of the following celebrities.
