Hewitt wants Maria Bello to star in her film

Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt wants actress Maria Bello to play mum in her directorial debut.

The I Know What You Did Last Summer star is following her dream of being behind the cameras for new movie Wait Until Helen Comes and she's keen to land Bello as her star.

However this will not be her first time behind the camera as she has directed a hand full of episodes of her TV drama Ghost Whisperer.

She tells Eonlinee.com: ""I would love Maria Bello to be in it. I would love her to play the mom in it."

The film will shoot on location in Rhode Island later this year.
