Maria Bello (“The Cooler”) is in talks to star opposite Viggo Mortensen in A History of Violence at New Line Cinema, says The Hollywood Reporter.
Adapted by Josh Olson from John Wagner and Vince Locke’s graphic novel, the David Cronenberg-directed film tells the story of an ordinary family’s life after the father (Mortensen) receives unwanted national attention for a seemingly vigilante-style self-defense killing at his diner.
Bello would play Mortensen’s character’s wife.
