Maria Bello has joined the growing cast of Prisoners for Warner Bros. and director Denis Villeneuve (Incendies), according to Deadline. Hugh Jackman Jake Gyllenhaal, Melissa Leo, Paul Dano, and Viola Davis are all already onboard.
Jackman will play Keller, a carpenter and father whose world is rocked when his daughter and her friend are suddenly kidnapped. Unsatisfied with the efforts of local law enforcement, the man takes matters into his own hands, searching for his little girl himself. This brings him into conflict with the policeman assigned to the case (Gyllenhaal). Bello is set to play Keller’s wife.
Aaron Guzikowski (Contraband) wrote the screenplay, with filming scheduled to begin early next year.
