Bello, Beaufoy, Crowe Team for 'Emergency Sex' At HBO
Maria Bello is teaming with Oscar winners Simon Beaufoy and Russell Crowe for a series project in the works at HBO. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Bello will star in the drama Emergency Sex, which is being written by Slumdog Millionaire's 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 NGO workers who find their sanity tested in the face of atrocities, loneliness and primal desires, says THR.
In addition to Crowe, Bello and Beaufoy, Emergency is produced by Bello's manager, John Carrabino.
Bello previously developed another series project for HBO in 2008.
The actress stars in John Wells' film The Company Men and has been courted by the broadcast networks this pilot season.
Emergency would mark the series debut for feature writer Beaufoy.
