Michael Mayer is directing from a script by Larry Konner and Mark Rosenthal. Bello will play Katie's mother, Pino plays Jack, and Roberts will play Gus.

Bello's films include A History of Violence, Sisters and The Dark. Pino recently wrapped production on Andy Garcia's feature directorial debut Lost City and stars on the television series "Cold Case."
