Washington
(ANI):
Actress
Angelina
Jolie
has
signed
on
to
play
the
lead
in
the
big
screen
adaptation
of
author
Patricia
Cornwell"s
mystery
book
series.
Jolie
will
portray
the
role
of
medical
examiner
Dr.
Kay
Scarpetta,
reports
Variety.
There
are
16
Scarpetta
novels,
however,
the
new
film
won't
be
made
on
a
specific
Cornwell
mystery
novel.
The
opera-loving
coroner
Scarpetta
will
be
the
lead
in
a
suspense
thriller
in
the
vein
of
The
Silence
of
the
Lambs
and
Seven.
Cornwell
also
made
a
deal
last
year
with
Lifetime
Television
to
adapt
two
non-Scarpetta
novels,
At
Risk
and
The
Front.
