Hollywood Actress Angelina Jolie is the first choice when it comes to suspense thrillers. The Bone Collector star has landed another role in a new film, which is based on Patricia Cornwell's bestselling novels. The 33-year-old will play the title character from Cornwell's 16 novel series about forensic examiner Dr Kay Scarpetta, a woman with a messy love life who solves crime and loves the opera.

Although studio bosses have yet to line up a screenwriter or director for the new film, insiders claim that the deal could mean the start of a new franchise for the actress who had her last series success with Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.

The thriller is the latest in a string of crime-fighting characters for Jolie, who has earlier worked in action packed thriller including Wanted, Mr & Mrs Smith,Gone in Sixty Seconds and her upcoming film, Salt.

Then in 2002, as her marriage to Billy Bob Thornton was crumbling, Voight said publicly that he and Jolie were not on speaking terms, due to her "serious emotional problems".

She dated men twice her age during her twenties, took drugs and joined bondage sessions, as you do.And father, actor JON VOIGHT, has always publically disapproved of her behaviour.The less than squeaky-clean star spent her teenage years getting tattooed and dreamed of becoming a funeral director.
