ANGELINA JOLIE has landed a role in another suspense thriller - as a crime-solving medical examiner in a new film based on PATRICIA CORNWELL's bestselling novels.Jolie has signed on to 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. According to Variety, the film will not focus on a specific Cornwell title. But insiders say 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's starred in action films including Wanted, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Gone in Sixty Seconds. Studio bosses have yet to line up a screenwriter or director for the new film.
