Kristen “not likely” to get role in ‘Girl with a Dragon Tattoo’

With the news that Daniel Craig has been confirmed to star in Girl with a Dragon Tattoo, fans are now awaiting the news of who will be cast as Lisbeth opposite him. Previous rumors had mentioned Kristen Stewart as a possibility in the role, but E! Online says the likelihood of Kstew getting the role is low.

We thought Kristen Stewart would be perf for the coveted role (Ellen Page is a close second). If you’ve read the book, the attitude is so K.Stew. But we’re sad to report Kristen’s chances of being Lisbeth are “not likely.”
It’s a catch-22 for you Stewart lovers. You can thank Bella Swan as the reason why it’s looking like Kristen won’t be able to be a part of this successful franchise.
“Kristen Stewart is being considered [for the role], but she has not screen-tested,” a source tells E!. “It looks like she may be out of the running because of Twilight scheduling conflicts.”
A source over at Summit confirms that. With production on Girl With the Dragon Tattoo slated to begin at the end of September, Stewart’s schedule probably wouldn’t allow her to be a part of the flick.
“Don’t think so,” quipped one of our insiders over at Summit when we asked if there was a chance Kristen actually could do Dragon.
“Production dates are not firm,” our coy source at Summit told us, “but it’s still looking like Breaking Dawn will start production in Louisiana in the fall, probably October or November.”
Sony is looking to cast Lisbeth Salander ASAP. The studio will shoot the entire movie in Sweden this September and it will be part of a trilogy. The leads are being asked to sign up for all three movies, and thus, will be locked in for a considerable amount of time.
