Colin Farrell to star as photojournalist in Bosnia war

LOS ANGELES (AFP) — Irish actor Colin Farrell has signed up to star as a photojournalist in a movie to be directed by Bosnian director Danis Tanovic, the trade magazine Variety reported.

The movie, to be called "Triage," is a re-make of "No Man's Land," a movie that won the Oscar for best foreign film in 2002.

According to the publication, Farrell -- seen most recently in the comedy "In Bruges" and the action film "Miami Vice" -- returns from a dangerous assignment in which his colleague and best friend has vanished.

Filming is to begin in April in Ireland and Spain, the magazine reported.
