Jolie wanted as Norwegian serial killer 

It is the American filmmaker Edward Bass who, according to 

Aftenposten, is to make a film about the Norwegian serial 

killer. The film "Belle" is reputed to be already in 

production, and the filmmaker wants Angelina Jolie in the lead 

role. 

“Angelina Jolie is the first choice. This is no easy role to 

play, remember that she also killed her own children,” Bass 

told Aftenposten. 

Bass has previously produced films such as “Slingshot” and 

“Come Early Morning”. 

Made sausages of suitors 

Belle Sorensen Gunness, or Brynhild Størseth, was born in 

Selbu in 1859 and is one of the most notorious serial killers 

in the United States. Norwegian Belle Gunness moved to a farm 

outside of Chicago in the United States, where she advertised 

for rich Scandinavian suitors. 

The men who came to Belle’s farm were killed, then fed to her 

pigs and sold as sausages. As the characters in"Sweeney Todd" 

were with their pies, Belle was widely known for her delicious 

sausages. 

She can prove that Belle killed over 70 people, both suitors, 

Director Anne Berit Vestby spent five years trying to make the 

documentary film "Only Belle - a serial killer from Selbu" 

about the charming, icy fortune hunter. 

“She treated men as pigs. She poisoned them in the evening, 

and then she beat them in the head while the children slept,” 

says Vestby to Absolute Entertainment TV 2 

Belle then took the men down into the basement, where there 

was a secret slaughterhouse. 

After 27 years of bestial murder, Belle disappeared 

mysteriously in 1908. Over 40 bodies were found buried on her 

farm.
