It took two decades but author Patricia Cornwell has finally found a star to play Kay Scarpetta, the medical examiner in her mystery novels: It’s none other than Angelina Jolie. Over 20 years, studios spent $10 million in development trying to adapt the book to film, with actresses like Demi Moore and Kristin Scott Thomas and directors like Joel Schumacher attached to their projects. The film will not be adapted directly from Cornwall’s novels; rather, it will be an “origins story” and feature a younger Scarpetta than the one that appears in the novels.
