How do we feel about this?
At first I thought, "Oh dear me, no" but that's mainly because I've always pictured Scarpetta - who, in case you don't know is the main character in Patricia Cornwell's massively successful crime series - as looking exactly like the author... who looks a bit like Jodie Foster and so I imagined Jodie Foster in the movie too.
Apparently Jodie Foster turned the role down and Ms Cornwell is delighted with the casting of Angelina. Now that I've thought about it for a bit longer, I think she'll be good. She's tough *and* sexy and - and I often forget this thanks to Angelina's notoriety - she can act.
What do you think?
Wasn't there something a bit icky between Patricia Cornwell and Jodie Foster at one point. The words "scary stalker" come to mind. In which case, it's no wonder Jodie Foster turned down the role.

Ooh, I didn't know about that. I've googled it now. Scary stuff!

Oh, Jodie Foster would have been great. Jolie can act but pouts too much and has no gravitas. I don't picture Scarpetta as a tombraider type. Then again, I only know the bare bones (ha) about the books so don't really care.
Ps: What happened with Foster and Cornwell? I skimmed an entire awful Daily Mail article and am still no wiser.

I don't like Jolie as an actress - in fact I'm trying to say I don't think she could act her way out of the proverbial. Foster, yes, now I do like her! Even though I think she's quite stand-offish in 'real life'. Cornwell's biography reads like fiction though, so are the stories of stalking true or not? (There was also a very dramatic tale of her affair with a married FBI lady ...)

this woman is sure she and megan fox are the two sexiest women on the planet to my opinion, are not that fantasies that arouse men and women.
