So Much For That Break

Didn't say St. Angie say she was going to go away for a while, so she could raise her child army, tutor Jesus in the subject of tolerance and save a planet or something? Well, apparently her break is going to wait a little while longer, because St. Angie has agreed to play Dr. Kay Scarpetta in the film version of Patricia Cornwell's best-selling book series.

I've never read Patricia's books, but that's what Wikipedia is for!

Dr. Kay Scarpetta was born in Miami, Florida. She is of Italian descent on both sides of her family, with the Scarpettas emigrating from Verona, Italy. She is blonde, and a sharp dresser, although always professional. In the early novels Scarpetta is the Chief Medical Examiner for the state of Virginia, and works in Richmond. She resigns after the events of The Last Precinct and relocates to Florida to become a private forensic consultant. Scarpetta returns to Virginia in Trace at the request of her replacement, Dr. Joel Marcus. In Predator, Scarpetta becomes the head of the National Forensic Academy in Hollywood, Florida, a private institution founded by her wealthy niece Lucy. In The Book of the Dead, Scarpetta has relocated as a freelance forensic examiner/expert to Charleston, South Carolina. In the most recent novel, Scarpetta, she has relocated to Massachusetts where she is an M.E but she and Benton also share an apartment in NYC.

St. Angie and the producers are currently meeting with writers. The movie won't be based on any specific novel, but they hope to turn it into a franchise.

Basically, it sounds like this movie is going to consist of St. Angie aiming a gun, pouting her lips, giving sexyface, shaking uncontrollably while screaming about whatever and taking long pauses while she squints her eyes all intense-like. Rinse and repeat.

Honestly, this sounds like some "V. I. Warshawski" shit. And nothing gets better than that masterpiece of a movie.

The way Angie HOJO is rapidly aging she could play a middle age woman............

But at the end of the day this is just BAD casting

Whoever suggested Jodie Foster had a good idea but Jodie is too young if they're going to play Scarpetta in 2009. HAHA! Who would play Marino?

As someone who's actually read some of those books I'd like to express my opinion on this.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is all.

I love most of those Scarpetta books. Angie is a little young for the part, she's supposed to have a grown neice who works with her. I see somebody like Bonnie Hunt for this. I hope this isn't a signal that Angie is starting to believe her own hype.

She is a HORRIBLE actress! HORRIBLE! It certainly doesn't take talent to play yourself in a movie (Girl Interrupted), so it is undestandable she got an award for that, not to mention her turn in GIA where again, she played herself, a bi-sexual, drug addicted weirdo.

The Changeling AND A Mighty Heart were embarassing to watch (I only saw previews and that told me all I needed to know), also, A Mighty Heart was orig. meant for Aniston, as that script was acquired when they were together and they were friends with that woman before Jolie came along.
Jolie was just as ridiculous in the part as Aniston would have been.

FYI, the movie business, is just that, a business, and Jolie does not bring in the bucks that she used to. The only reason why she was nominated for an award this year was to try and sell the movie more, since it didn't do all that well initially.

The one movie that did well was Kung Poo Pnada, and it had nothing to do with her, it was a bloody cartoon that kids liked and not because she lent anything to the movie, other than her simpy voice.

It is obvious you just registered an hour ago for the sole purpose of defending your idol.

I think that people went to see Wanted despite her, not because of her. She and Brad are jokes in Hollywood and fast becoming box office poison.

SHE IS WAY PAST HER GIA/ GIRL INTERUPPTED DAYS!

Get a CLUE!

get a clue ? bitch please, how about I take that clue and shove it up your ass. And what does gia and girl interrupted have to do with whether she can make this movie a hit ?

whether u like her or not, she is the one that can make this movie a hit and draw in audiences. Yes, Wanted is an example: ensemble cast, but heavily marketed as "an angelina jolie film ala mr and mrs smith and tomb raider." I'm not going to waste my time throwing numbers at you. point black -- u are wrong. any who...I think what happens with the upcoming Salt will ultimately prove this right/wrong.

p.s. wha ? how were a mighty heart and changeling "flops" ? bcs they didn't bring in the same numbers as her action flicks ?

TheBreakdown's picture

I saw 'Wanted' because I will see anything that Morgan Freeman is in. I am sure Angelina signed on to do the movie because he was in it. It was not a flop. It made lots of money, but it was an ensemble cast, so she cannot claim that take on her own shoulders

I love Angie. I am not cutting her a break here, but she has not had a break-away, bonafide, runaway hit since she sucked Brad into her carnivorous poon during 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith'.

But she is not exactly shooting off flop after flop either. And at the end of the day, there are few women that can cary a film, especially an action one, and she IS one of those.

By the way, I seriously thought this was a picture of Janice Dickinson when I first saw it.

Oh, and "Kung Fu Panda" doesn't count as a hit.

Wanted - no
Changeling - no
Beowulf - no
A Mighty Fart - no
The Good Shepherd - no

What am I missing here? They are all flops.

She always says she is taking a break to raise her kids and then ends up making another movie. Guess she loves the flashbulbs more.

The only thing that could have made Wanted bearable was if James McAvoy had spoken in his true accent and it STILL would have been a pile of steaming, corn-filled diarrhea that was poured over my head for two hours of my life I will never get back.

"She has been extremely successful and pretty smart with her mix of big budget v.s. small budget movies: small budget movies she's done have gotten critical acclaim and award noms and the big budget movies she's been in have gone on to become HUGE box office hits."

Name one.

wtf ? Are you bitches serious ? I knew ppl here hated angelina jolie but i didn't think they were delusional idiots to bat. She hasn't had any flops. She has been extremely successful and pretty smart with her mix of big budget v.s. small budget movies: small budget movies she's done have gotten critical acclaim and award noms and the big budget movies she's been in have gone on to become HUGE box office hits. I think an older actress like jodie foster or diane lane would be better for this character. but Let's not lie: Angelina Jolie is the only actress in hollywood right now that can carry a franchise like this beyond it's 1st film (reese,aniston,diaz have the romantic comedy corner). And this movie would never have seen the light of day if she hadn't taken interest. and it will get a great director and screen writers bcs she has taken interest. you or your mama may not see this but everyone else in the country will. so sit yo asses down.

They will have to pad this movie with real and credible actors to give it any power at the box office.
Would anyone have seen "I WANT MAH SON BAACK" if Eastwood hadn't directed? He was batting a thousand, racking up Oscars and bank until he cast her.
Would anyone have cared about "Wanted" without Morgan Freeman & (?)James McAvoy(?).
The correct answer is a BIG FAT JUICY JIZZY NO!

Then if they are really shopping a franchise could you even get big names to do the damn sequels?

But of course, loon translation = she carries every movie she is in.
Even Kung Fu Panda. Cuz Jack Black is a hack.

"Going gray is like ejaculating. You know it can happen prematurely, but when it actually does, it's a total shock." MAH BOO!!!

Those books are dreadful, I read like 5 for a seminar and Patricia Cornwell is a seriously bad writer. Angie will only make the movies true to the books: sucky!

jeezus...i loved those books and now they have chosen the worst "actress" to play the lead.... jodie foster would have made a better choice for the lead.... c'mon hollywood git yer head in the game

rotten_egg's picture

I haven't read those books, but the producers should be careful about who will they cast as the lead female actress... unless they want their movies to bomb. Angelina Jolie is NOT blockbuster material so if they cast her, the movie will fall flat on its ass. Come on, she can't act worth shit.

I can't wait to hear her transilvanian-italian accent on this one, tho. It will be a blast.

Someone please tell Angie that she makes a lot of money and does good things with it, she deserves to eat some damn food!!!!!!! What's the point of feeding the children and starving your own damn self?! That don't make no sense.

If she really wants to punish herself she should restrict how much she works. Ubiquitous faces never get an Oscar. Make yourself scarce, girl! Damn!! And don't come back until you've had at least one damn Clif bar!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel bad for Patricia Cornwell. She's had a cyber stalker for years now, some crazy fucknut who has tried to make her life a living hell. I think he's hiding out somewhere in Amsterdam or something now. PC and her partner have to keep moving periodically and have armed guards at their houses. My husband knows her and says she's really down to earth and super nice.

gia's picture

I think I read somewhere that Naomi Watts is even a better choice than Angie...I havent read the books, but it sounds like Cate Blanchett would be better too. Someone is is actually blond & looks like they have a functioning brain.
I guess we also have to understand that maybe the better fitted actresses have turned down the role, they are actually too busy raising their families...Or maybe Angie actually came to them. As much as we all hate her, she is a huge box office draw for some sad, pathetic reason.

Sugaroo's picture

Whoever plays Scarpetta would have to be very good at the subtleties of her personality and be able to get her complex nuances right. Scarpetta is a complicated person and one who has great compassion yet has seen so much horror, she tends to tamp it down. When it does come through, it's subtle and "subtle" is one thing Skankelina doesn't comprehend.

I love the Kay Scarpetta books and have always followed Patricia Cornwell's career but I will NOT be seeing this movie. AJ does not follow the concept of Scarpetta and she is totally wrong for the role. I don't like her as a so-called actress (or a person either)and I will not watch her pose and pout her fat lips through a movie that will ruin the Scarpetta character.I forsee another disaster at the box office!

Sugaroo's picture

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! GET THE FUCK OUT!!!!!!!!! THIS UGLY BITCH CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO PLAY SCARPETTA! That's it. If this goes down, I am refusing to ever buy another Cornwell book again ever. This is bullshit on a platter. FUCK!

I have read every Scarpetta based novel. This is the WRONG choice and she doesn't match the character at all. Short stature, short blond hair, older. Doesn't fit at all. This would have been good for Sharon Stone or someone else.
