According to the Hollywood Reporter, Maria Bello (The Cooler) will star opposite Viggo Mortensen in New Line Cinema's adaptation of the John Wagner/Vince Locke graphic novel, A History of Violence (published by DC Comics). Josh Olson is adapting the graphic novel and David Cronenberg (Scanners) will direct the film. Since A History of Violence (like Road to Perdition) is essentially a crime story without superheroes or the need for lots of special effects, retailers will have to alert their customers to the fact that the movie is actually based on a graphic novel. No start date for shooting has been announced so far, but the project appears to be progressing well. Stay tuned for further updates.
