Cast Members Named for Rape: A Love Story

According to Variety, the three actors will begin shooting the project in June.

Based on a story by Joyce Carol Oates, published in 2003, the film will be directed by Harold Becker (Domestic Disturbance) and the screenplay will be written by John Mankiewicz (House).

The story follows a mother (Bello), who is the victim of a brutal gang rape.  Her 12-year-old daughter witnesses the attack.  Luckily, a sympathetic police officer (Jackson) takes her under his wing.

In the meantime, we can next see Maria Bello in the film The Private Lives of Pippa Lee later this year.  Abigail Breslin will star in My Sister’s Keeper, opening on June 26, while Samuel L. Jackson’s next film, Inglorious Basterds, opens in theatres on August 21.
