Scarpetta Trailer

Amazon MGM Studios released the official trailer for their film adaptation of Scarpetta, written by Patricia Cornwell. Here’s how they original novel is described:

“Leaving behind her private forensic pathology practice in Charleston, South Carolina, Kay Scarpetta accepts an assignment in New York City, where the NYPD has asked her to examine an injured man on Bellevue Hospital’s psychiatric prison ward. The handcuffed and chained patient, Oscar Bane, has specifically asked for her, and when she literally has her gloved hands on him, he begins to talk—and the story he has to tell turns out to be one of the most bizarre she has ever heard.”

“The injuries, he says, were sustained in the course of a murder . . . that he did not commit. Is Bane a criminally insane stalker who has fixed on Scarpetta? Or is his paranoid tale true, and it is he who is being spied on, followed and stalked by the actual killer? The one thing Scarpetta knows for certain is that a woman has been tortured and murdered—and more violent deaths will follow. . . .”

Scarpetta premieres on Amazon Prime on March 11.

In the midst of a Kaiju threat, a silver giant appears from beyond Earth’s atmosphere. In SSSP’s report, it is written— “Ultraman (tentative name), identity unknown.””
