1. This is what wikipedia says
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marla_Ruzicka

Depiction in film media

Film rights to the story of Ruzicka's life were bought by Paramount Pictures in 2004. In the deal the studio also bought the rights to a book by Jennifer Abrahamson, who planned to write it with the aid worker before Ruzicka died in April. Kirsten Dunst agreed to play Ruzicka in the movie scripted by Lorene Scafaria, whose recent credits include "The Mighty Flinn" for Warner Independent Pictures. Filming is expected to begin sometime in late 2006.

Marla appears briefly in the documentary Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room as one of the protestors who disrupts Jeffrey Skilling's speech at The Commonwealth Club.

====================================

Note: Most movies which are planned are never filmed, most which are filmed are never released, and so while I'd like to see Kirsten Dunst star in a movie about Ruzicka, we won't necessarily get the chance.
