Winona to play Veronica Guerin...

Hollywood starlet Winona Ryder, who spent the summer in Ireland with boyfriend Beck, may be back in the Emerald Isle to make a new version of the Veronica Guerin story. Guerin was an Irish journalist who was gunned down by drug lords in 1996 after writing about them. Hollywood's biggest producer Jerry Bruckheimer has bought the rights to the film.

The producer who is behind films such as Top Gun, The Rock and Beverly Hills Cop will call the movie Chasing the Dragon. The film will be based on Veronica exposing the Dublin crime barons before being gunned down in her car in August 1996.

Jerry hopes to start filming in Ireland next May. He said of the film "Veronica made a difference everyone can identify with that."

He continued "The ambiguities in her character make her more appealing with that. Why would a woman who has a husband and a young son and who gets shot, still keep going? What drives her? Did she take the threat seriously?"

Oscar nominee Joan Allen played Guerin last year in one film about her life called When the Sky Falls which was written by Michael Sheridan a friend and fellow journalist in the Sunday Independent where she worked.

Currently alleged gang boss John Gilligan is on trial for her murder.
