Bello, Breslin and Jackson join Rape

Maria Bello, Abigail Breslin and Samuel L. Jackson have all signed up to star in the ominous Rape: A Love Story for director Harold Becker (Domestic Disturbance).

Variety says that the film is based on the Joyce Carol Oates novella of the same name, published in 2003.

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.

John Mankiewicz ("House") adapted the screenplay. abigail-breslin.info
