No, this isn't one of our daily "ASOTV" showcases, literary edition.....
In the latest 'Grimm' episode ("The Plumed Serpent"), Portland detective Nick Burkhardt was investigating an arson case which involved one of the "wesen", a creature known as a "Daemonfeuer".
From Wikipedia:
Daemonfeuer (DAY-mon-foy-uhr) are dragon-like creatures. There are not a
lot of these around anymore. Daemonfeuer can cough up vapor produced of their
own fat which is highly flammable. Igniting the produced vapor makes them appear
as if breathing fire. Daemonfeuer is a combination of the German words for demon
and fire. First seen in "Plumed Serpent".
"I got it long before the books," she said simply.
"The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" exists only in two fictional universes so
far - the Literary one and the Movie Universe. (Eventually its two sequels will
join it in the Cineverse as well.) For the TV Universe, it is only considered
as a book and a movie.
However.....
Recently Sony, who controls these Stieg Larsson properties, put pressure on
CBS regarding their proposed pilot 'Quean'. To be produced by Warner Bros. TV
and Silver Pictures, 'Quean' was going to be about a girl who could hack
computers working for a private eye.
The show's creator agreed to overhaul the concept so that she would now be
working for a law firm. I think the show's original concept was generic enough,
but Sony wasn't satisfied. An outside law firm advised CBS to just drop the
whole project and so now it's dead.
It's a shame, too, if only because I like that title of 'Quean'.
Since Sony was so adamant on this, I'm thinking that they plan on some day
creating a TV show about Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist - probably once
the movie trilogy has run its course. And so they didn't want any clones, no
matter how slight the resemblance, to be littering and diluting the TV
Landscape.
BCnU!
