Woodruff Makes First Visit To ABC Newsroom

Posted by andPOP Staff on June 14th, 2006

ABC newsman Bob Woodruff who was injured in Iraq last year made his first return to the ABC newsroom since the attack, Reuters reports.

“It was the first time many here had seen him, and he was greeted by a spontaneous round of applause. You could literally see the emotion in each hug,” Jon Banner, the ABC news executive producer, wrote in his blog.

Woodruff reportedly told his colleagues that they were on his mind after he woke up from his 36-day coma. Woodruff and his cameraman were injured after a roadside bomb exploded near the military convoy they were traveling in.

Before his injury, Woodruff was named co-anchor of “World News Tonight” with Elizabeth Vargas after the death of Peter Jennings. However, Charles Gibson recently took over the anchor desk because of Vargas’ pregnancy and the uncertainty of when Woodruff will return to work.

Dunst to play Slain Aid Worker in Iraq War Movie

Posted by Eva Lam on October 18th, 2005

Kirsten Dunst will star in a new movie about the Iraq war as real-life U.S. aid worker Marla Ruzicka, who was killed April in a suicide-bomb attack in Baghdad.

The movie will be made for Paramount Pictures and tells the story of Ruzicka, 28, who ran a non-governmental organization that lobbied for financial compensation for civilian casualties of war, reports Daily Variety.

Through her organization, Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict, Ruzicka worked in Iraq and Afghanistan trying to document the exact number of civilians killed or injured by U.S. forces.

She helped victims receive $10 million in compensation from the U.S. government.

Six months ago, she and her translator Faiz Al Salaam were killed by a suicide bomber targeting a nearby convoy of foreign contractors’ vehicles.

Her organization has since raised $28 million.

Paramount acquired the rights to Ruzicka?s life story last year, as well as the rights to a book by Jennifer Abrahamson, who had planned to write it with the late aid worker.

Marc Platt will produce the movie with MTV Films.

Dunst, 23, has just finished filming the title role in director Sofia Coppola?s new movie ?Marie Antoinette,? and is set to reprise her role as Mary Jane Watson in ?Spider-Man 3.? She can be seen in theatres now alongside Orlando Bloom in ?Elizabethtown.?

The movie about Ruzicka is just one in a string of upcoming Hollywood movies and television dramas depicting the nearly three-year-old war in Iraq.

Movies coming to the big screen include the drama “No True Glory: The Battle for Fallujah,” which stars Harrison Ford, and “Jarhead,” starring Jamie Foxx and Jake Gyllenhaal, which will open on Nov. 11.
