Cornwell series goes to Fox 2000

Patricia Cornwell’s series centered around the fictionalized character Dr. Kay Scarpetta is getting scooped up by Fox 2000. Adding onto that, Kerry Williamson will be penning the novel adaptation that’s already said to star Angelina Jolie. The character has appeared in seventeen of Cornwell’s books, easily making this possible to become another franchise, THR reports. Williamson is writing up a draft of the script right now, but no word as to whether or not it will be tied to any specific novel of Cornwell’s.

Producing is Mark Gordon along with Geyer Kosinski under Media Talent Group. Williamson is also attached to pen another screenplay called Fork in the Road with Alexander Payne directing. Mark Gordon’s attached onto several other projects as producer, some of those include Source Code and a biopic called Richard Pryor: Is It Something I Said? supposedly starring Marlon Wayans.

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
