Angelina Jolie’s new movie The Tourist will boost sales of crime novels
Angelina Jolie’s new movie The Tourist is expected to increase sales of Patricia Cornwell’s popular crime novels.
The already popular books are based around medical examiner Dr Kay Scarpetta and a film adaptation is currently being made with Jolie taking on the lead role.
Jennifer Berlin, a press officer at Waterstones, believes the flick will bring added attention to the novels.
She told Splash News: “A new Patricia Cornwell book is always an event and a sure bet to hit number one. It’s about time Hollywood recognised one of the most iconic characters in crime fiction.”
Berlin added that sales of the books are expected to increase as the film gains more attention.
She said: “A major blockbuster film will certainly benefit sales and although awareness of The Tourist is still building, it will definitely lead even more people to discover this incredible series.”
