Ponderings of the Book-to-Movie kind.
Angelina Jolie is going to play Dr. Kay Scarpetta!
I like Angelina - I actually think she's a better actor than a lot of her movies would suggest - but she's not exactly who I imagined when reading the Patricia Cornwall novels. Yes, Scarpetta is sophisticated, intelligent and attractive and Jolie could easily carry all those attributes off but I always saw Scarpetta as being more like Cornwall herself.
I've heard some other names suggested and the one that interests me most and I think would suit the role is Jodie Foster. She obviously has the acting chops and as a big fan of Silence of the Lambs it would be interesting to see how she carries the role.
Will be interesting to see the finished product either way.
