Variety reports that Monica Bellucci, David Strathairn, and Vanessa Redgrave will join Rachel Weisz in the indie political drama, "The Whistleblower".  Based on a true story, "The Whistleblower" is the directorial debut of Larysa Kondracki's and tells the story of policewoman (Weisz) who risks her job and her own safety to uncover and bring to light a scandal involving both American contractors and the United Nations in postwar Bosnia.   You wouldn't think a scandal could erupt at the intersection of "American contractors", "United Nations", and "postwar Bosnia" but I guess we'll just have to suspend our disbelief.

Weisz is having a great 2009 so far.  She gave one of the best female performances of the year in "The Brothers Bloom" and she played the lead in Alejandro Amenábar's "Agora" which became Spain's top-grossing film of the year after only four days.  Weisz will next be seen in Peter Jackson's adaptation of Alice Sebold's "The Lovely Bones".
