Monique to star in The Whistleblowers?
October 14, 2009
According to this article, our beautiful and talented Monica will be starring in a new movie project alongside Oscar winner Rachel Weisz (The Constant Gardener, Constantine), Vanessa Redgrave (Evening, Atonement), David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck, The Bourne Ultimatum) and Serbian actor Sergej Trifunovic.
The title of this new film is The Whistleblowers, which is a slang word for those who cause uproar. It will be directed by Larysa Kondracki, a young director and script writer from Ukraine. It is based on a true story, and follows the life of Kathryn (played by Rachel Weisz), a clerk employed in the UN in Bosnia during the war. She discovers what is happening on the so-called Arizona market, the base of KFOR, on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where bracelets and discs are sold during the day, while at night its main activity consists in human trafficking for the whole region. The UN soldiers earn a significant sum of money for their share in that business. As a reward, Kathryn gets “fired”, and the whole case is hidden from the public eye. Trifunovic plays the role of a Bosnian policeman, the only person willing to help her.
Although at this time we can not confirm the news, it definitely seems like a very interesting project. Plus, the cast is really awsome. It will be nice to see Monica working on screen with A-list stars such as Weisz, Redgrave and Strathairn.
