Kirsten Dunst spielt Marla Ruzicka

Wie Variety berichtet, wird Kirsten Dunst (Spider-Man, Elizabethtown) in einem kommenden Film Marla Ruzicka, eine 28 jährige Helferin im Iraq-Krieg, welche bei einem Selbstmordattentat ums Leben kam, spielen.

Rollingstone.com beschreibt Marla Ruzicka wie folgt.
"Ruzicka is perhaps the most famous American aid worker to die in any conflict of the past ten or twenty years. Though a novice in life -- she had less than four years of professional humanitarian experience -- her death resonated far beyond the tightly knit group of war junkies and policymakers who knew her. She stands as a youthful representative of a certain kind of not-yet-lost American idealism, and darkly symbolic of what has gone so tragically wrong in Iraq. And yet trying to understand her is complicated by the fact that so much of her complex, and often deeply compartmentalized life remains a mystery to even those who knew her best."

Die Rechte an der Verfilmung wurden schon letztes Jahr im Sommer aufgekauft, weiterhin wird Jennifer Abrahamson ein Buch über die tapfere Helferin schreiben.
