Jolie Takes It Like A Man

When I heard Angelina Jolie was considering signing on for a franchise, I was concerned. It didn't really seem like her to commit to any long-term relationship that could tie her down - much less one that would required her to play the same character over and over. Then I remembered her daily life and instantly realized where she'd find her inspiration! Jolie is in the works to sign on for several installments to play Patricia Cornwall's heroine, Dr. Kay Scarpetta. (There are, of course, the Tomb Raider films. However this deal is in the works for 5+ years.) I've never read this stuff, but from what I can gather it would be like a big screen CSI, with the focus on a crime-solving medical examiner. It seems like it would be dangerous to lock oneself into this kind of deal. But really she's treading into sacred big bucks territory held by men such as Matt Damon (Bourne movies), Johnny Depp (Pirates of The Caribbean) and Daniel Craig (Bond/007 films). Of course we've got to pay homage to the king: Harrison Ford for both the original Star Wars trilogy and the numerous Indiana Jones flicks. Looks like Angelina is still smarter than me. Damn.
