The SCARPETTA Series With Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis is Go

Prime Video ordered two seasons of Scarpetta, adapted from Patricia Cornwell’s Kay Scarpetta series. Some big names are attached to the series–most notably, Nicole Kidman playing Scarpetta herself, and Jamie Lee Curtis whose renaissance I’m appreciating deeply. Speaking of, Curtis will get a reunion with David Gordon Green who directed the last few Halloween movies and will direct the first couple of episodes. The Kay Scarpetta series follows a medical examiner investigating some gruesome murders. The first book was published in 1990 and there are 27 books to the series, so there’s no shortage of material to work with.

This Barbie is a Magical Realist

Mattel added The House of the Spirits author Isabel Allende to their Barbie Inspiring Women Series. I’m loving this ’80s throwback lewk. There isn’t a whole lot to say here, except “Neat!” and also I love the inclusion of Allende’s dog, Perla. TIL that Perla inspired the literary icon’s first children’s book, Perla The Mighty Dog.
