 Maria Bello has signed on to appear on Law & Order: SVU, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.
The Golden Globe- and SAG-nominated actress (A History of Violence, The Cooler) will appear in two episodes, playing a woman with a secret past that Detective Benson is investigating, according to a source close to the production.
It’s also a reunion of sorts for Bello and SVU executive producer Neal Baer, who worked together on ER. Her episodes have not been scheduled.
– Exciting news here, Maria fans! It will be great to see Maria working with her good friend Mariska Hargitay again. We’ll keep you posted here on further news on Maria’s participation.

If you’re going to be abducted and raised by a new set of parents, you could certainly do a lot worse than Maria Bello and Jason Isaacs.
The duo have been cast as the not-parents of Taylor Lautner in the John Singleton-directed thriller “Abduction,” according to Deadline New York. The story follows Lautner’s character as he sets out to learn who he really is after he finds his baby picture posted on a missing-persons website.
The newly hired actors join an already-sizable cast that includes Sigourney Weaver, Alfred Molina, Lily Collins, Denzel Whitaker, Michael Nyqvist and, of course, “Twilight” heartthrob Lautner. With these last major roles squared away, production on the film is set to begin on July 12 in Pittsburgh.
Bello is one of the stars in the ensemble comedy “Grown Ups,” out June 25, which features Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade, Rob Schneider, Salma Hayek and Maya Rudolph. She’ll also star with “New Moon” vampire Michael Sheen in “Beautiful Boy,” which has an unspecified 2010 release.
Isaacs, who is perhaps best known for his portrayal of the villainous Lucius Malfoy in the “Harry Potter” series, will star in the new Fox legal drama “Pleading Guilty” this fall. He and the rest of the “Potter” cast just wrapped production on the two-part series closer, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.” Those movies hit theaters on November 19, 2010, and July 15, 2011.
Lautner will shoot “Abduction” before joining his fellow “Twilight” cast members in the fall for filming on “Breaking Dawn,” which like “Deathly Hallows,” will be released in two parts. “Eclipse,” the third movie in Stephenie Meyer’s vampire romance series, arrives in theaters on June 30.

Pierce Brosnan, Billy Bob Thornton, Maria Bello and Giovanni Ribisi are blessing helmer Walter Hill’s “St. Vincent.”
The crime thriller is being financed by Premier National Studios, Quickfire Films and Stuart Ford’s IM Global, which also is handling international sales and shopping the title at Cannes.
Hill (“48 Hours,” “Southern Comfort”) begins lensing in Detroit on July 12 from a script by Cameron Young.
Announcement was made by producer Jon Turtle and IM Global CEO Ford.
Along with Turtle, producers are Claudio Castravelli and Irish Dreamtime’s Beau St. Clair.
Ford, James Atherton, Stephen Simmons and Gus Palkovi are exec producing.
“St. Vincent” follows a hitman (Brosnan) who goes undercover as a priest to get close to his target, a gangland traitor (Thornton). The hitman soon discovers that playing the good guy is more dangerous than being a mob killer.
IM Global reports brisk sales on the film.

Walken will next be seen in Tony Vitale’s comedy Life’s A Beach, and he’s starring in Jonathan Hensleigh’s The Irishman.

Shirley MacLaine, Maria Bello and Christina Ricci are attached to star in the action-comedy “Wild Oats,” directed by Scott Marshall.
Thesps John Corbett and Bill Pullman are circling.
Peace Arch Entertainment is introducing the project at Cannes. CAA and ICM packaged the film, with Blythe Frank and Agathe David-Weill producing. Michael Mailer is exec producer.
Penned by scribe Claudia Myers, “Wild Oats” tells the story of a retired widow who hits the jackpot when she receives a Social Security check mistakenly made out for $900,000 instead of $900. She and her granddaughter then take off for Las Vegas, only to become media sensations and fugitives from justice.
Marshall is set to begin lensing in August in Connecticut and Nevada.

Every pilot-casting season starts with a flurry of offers to a handful of actors who quickly become the season’s most sought-after leads.
The hottest names at the top of pilot wish lists this year include Julianne Moore, Maria Bello, Christina Applegate, Matt Dillon and Jason Isaacs. All have received multiple offers.
The Oscar-nominated Moore, who successfully tested the TV waters with a guest-starring turn on NBC’s “30 Rock,” has been pursued for at least two pilots so far: NBC’s “Prime Suspect” remake and another redo, ABC’s direct-to-series “Scoundrels,” based on the New Zealand series “Outrageous Fortune.”
Both projects, as well as NBC’s “Chase,” a Jerry Bruckheimer-produced fugitive-apprehension drama pilot, are showcases for a strong female lead character, which explains the producers’ desire to go after accomplished actresses.
Bello also has been approached for the role originated by Helen Mirren in “Prime Suspect,” while “Scoundrels” also went after Demi Moore.

Maria Bello has teamed with Oscar winners Simon Beaufoy and Russell Crowe for a series project in the works at HBO.
Bello is set to star in the drama “Emergency Sex,” which is being written by “Slumdog Millionaire” scribe Beaufoy and executive produced by Bello, Beaufoy and Crowe.
Inspired by the book “Emergency Sex and Other Desperate Measures: A True Story From Hell on Earth,” by Kenneth Cain, Heidi Postlewait and Andrew Thomson, the project revolves around the larger-than-life exploits of expatriate nongovernment-organization workers who find their sanity tested in the face of atrocities, loneliness and primal desires.
The book chronicles the real-life experiences of Cain, Postlewait and Thomson, who met in Cambodia during the 1990s as members of a UN peacekeeping mission.

I was just browsing for Maria news, and came across a mention of her name in an interview with Michael Sheen.
Question: Who do you play in “Beautiful Boy”?
Sheen: It’s me and Maria Bello, and we play a married couple who have a son who gets involved in a sort of Columbine-type shooting.
- moviehole.net
I’ve never heard anything about this project til now – did I miss something? So I decided to search around for any more information on this project, and here’s what I’ve come up with:
CS: Do you have anything else that you’re going to be shooting next?
Michael Sheen: I’m doing a film called “Beautiful Boy.” We’re shooting it in Los Angeles in November. It’s a very small independent film, a first-time director. He’s written it as well, and it’s about the parents of a kid who goes into a school and shoots (people) and then kills himself. It’s about the parents and how they sort of deal with it afterward.
CS: Wow, so that’s going to be a big change as well.
Sheen: Hm, yeah. Me and Maria Bello. Yeah, and then “New Moon” comes out in November and “Alice,” “Tron,” “Unthinkable”…

Dianne Wiest was moved aside for Maria Bello. Bello was replaced by Uma Thurman, and now according to another mini blurb on Production Weekly, Heather Graham might have taken over the role of the victim in Harold Becker’s Vengeance: A Love Story. Thurman had recently signed onto Girl Soldier, so it seems logical that Uma was only “in talks” for the role. Normally I’d add a snarky remark about “rollergirl” and how this production is casting down – but the lead is shared with two others, (Samuel L. Jackson and Abigail Breslin), Graham is now in the age bracket where she can play more than just a wasted girlfriend and she is one of the only actresses who can claim that she was in a 400-million dollar grossing comedy this summer (The Hangover). I imagine that the Michigan production is moments away from actually beginning.
Based on the Joyce Carol Oates novella published in 2003, scripted by John Mankiewicz, the story is about an act of unbelievable brutality that twists the lives of three generations of women and sets a man of the law on his own course of justice. On the Fourth of July, Niagara Falls Police Officer John Dromoor (Jackson) is flagged down by 12-year-old Bethie Maguire (Breslin). Her mother, Teena Maguire (Graham), has been brutally raped and left for dead. Moving at a relentless, compelling pace, the story of Teena and Bethie unfolds in this powerful and thrilling drama.
