According to L’OFFICIEL, the Academy Award-winning actress shared that playing the character of Dr. Kay Scarpetta was her desire for over 20 years, and she had been eyeing this role since then.
“I’ve been pursuing Scarpetta for nearly twenty years going back to when it was intended to be a feature, so to unite with the formidable Jamie Lee Curtis, Prime Video, Jason Blum, and David Gordon Green on the Liz Sarnoff series version of Patricia Cornwell’s epic and thrilling books feels like it was meant to be,” Nicole quipped.
