Golden Globe and Emmy winner Claire Foy (Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Drama, "The Crown," 2017; Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, "The Crown," 2018) brings to life the iconic role of Lisbeth Salander in the next exciting chapter of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo franchise, THE GIRL IN THE SPIDER'S WEB, debuting on digital and Movies Anywhere January 22, 2019 and on Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD February 5, 2019 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Director Fede Álvarez (Evil Dead; Don't Breathe) brings insurmountable suspense and tension to the film adaptation of the fourth book of the acclaimed Millennium series to create a thrilling cinematic experience. THE GIRL IN THE SPIDER'S WEB also stars Sverrir Gudnason (Borg vs. McEnroe), Lakeith Stanfield (Get Out; Sorry to Bother You, TV's "Atlanta"), Sylvia Hoeks (Blade Runner 2049) and Stephen Merchant (Logan; Hot Fuzz).
The digital and Blu-ray releases of THE GIRL IN THE SPIDER'S WEB unravel the behind-the-scenes mysteries with feature commentary from director Fede Álvarez and screenwriter Jay Basu, eight deleted scenes with commentaries, and four featurettes — "All About the Stunts," "Claire Foy: Becoming Lisbeth," "Secrets of the Salander Sisters" and "Creating the World: The Making Of."
From self-driving cars to driving a motorcycle over a river of ice, "All About the Stunts" details the most action-packed moments from the film broken down step-by-step showing the storyboards, rehearsals and more. In "Claire Foy: Becoming Lisbeth," the award-winning actress gives an in-depth and personal account of what the character Lisbeth means to her and what she brought to her in this film.
