True Love

One of my favorite actresses Maria Bello--Abigail Breslin and Samuel L. Jackson (who seems to be in every film being made this year) have joined the indie drama Rape: A Love Story reports Variety.

Based on Joyce Carol Oates 2003 novella-the story centers on a mother (Bello) recovering from a brutal gang rape who is stalked by the perpetrators but is protected by a sympathetic cop (Jackson).

Breslin will play the woman's 12-year-old daughter, who witnesses the attack.

Veteran TV writer John Mankiewicz ("House") adapted the screenplay

Harold Becker will direct.

Filming is scheduled to start in June.
