Peter Weir is currently developing a fact-based drama titled "The Way Back," and according to News.bg, Colin Farrell and Ed Harris are on board to star.

The site also reports the flick will start shooting in Bulgaria next March, with a relese set for 2011. Based on the book by Slavomir Ravich, the film centeres on a group of soldiers who escaped from a Siberian gulag in 1940.

Weir, who has been nominated for six Oscars so far, also directed "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World," "The Truman Show" and "Dead Poets Society."

Farrell most recently starred in "Pride and Glory." He's got a bunch of upcoming projects in post-prod right now, including "Crazy Heart" and Terry Gilliam's "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus."

As for Ed Harris, his most recent flick was "Appaloosa," which I still haven't seen. He's filming "Once Fallen" at the moment.
