Lara Croft Star Will Be Cornwell’s Novel Protagonist
Will Mrs. Pitt get another movie franchised? With the success of the Lara Croft franchised, Angelina Jolie was rumored to be cast on another movie franchised this time about Dr. Kay Scarpetta, the heroine of Patricia Cornwell’s best selling novel series.
Although there are 16 Scarpetta novels, this film won’t focus on a specific Cornwell title, Varity reports. Cornwell’s latest novel, simply titled Scarpetta, was published in December.
Kay Scarpetta is a beautiful, tough-as-nails forensic examiner, has a messy love life and a penchant for opera and Italian cooking. Before relocating to Massachusetts she was the Chief Medical Examiner of Virginia.
Jolie has played several hard-edged characters in films such as Wanted, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Gone in Sixty Seconds. If everything pans out, Scarpetta will be her second franchise, after the Lara Croft: Tomb Raider series.
Wow, I can’t wait to watch this film…Patricia Cornwell is one of my favorite authors and Angelina is one of my fave actresses.

The deceptively angelic-looking and of course immortal Jane, a member of the ancient Italian clan of vampires known as the Volturi, enters the frame when Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and his broody, squeal-inducing coif make their way over to Italy in the wake of…well, what can only be described as a spoiler alert.
Back in January, Fanning told E! News that she is a “big fan” of the series. And, it seems, of now costar Kristen Stewart.
Michael Sheen, 40, will play Aro, the leader of the deadly Volturi vampire coven that wants to ensure humans never find out bloodsuckers exist.
