CANNES (Hollywood Reporter) - Maria Bello and Sean Bean will play bereaved parents in the indie thriller "The Dark," which will begin shooting in June.

Based on the novel "Sheep," by Simon Maginn, "The Dark" stars Bello and Bean as parents who lose their daughter in a tragic drowning accident at an ancient site. The same night, a seemingly harmless young girl shows up at their remote farmhouse showing remarkable similarities to their dead daughter.

John Fawcett ("Ginger Snaps") will direct. Shooting will take place in London and the Isle of Man. Bello recently starred in "Secret Window," while Bean plays Odysseus in "Troy," which opens around the world on Friday.
