Maria Bello (pictured) will replace Rachel Weisz in the third installment of "The Mummy."
She joins...[director] Rob Cohen [in the sequel] for Universal Pictures.
Bello will play Evelyn Carnahan O'Connell, the adventuress played in the first two films by Weisz. After Weisz declined to reprise, Cohen and the studio cast a wide net for a replacement.
...Most recently seen in "A History of Violence " and "Flicka," Bello next stars in "The Jane Austen Book Club"...and "Butterfly On A Wheel,", which...will release in August
Hmm...While I like Bello as an actress...She is not someone that I even thought of for the film--Let alone to actually play Weisz's character. I wonder if Bello will adopt a british accent in keeping with the character? Will she turn her blonde locks brown?
