LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- Actors Kevin Kline and Milla Jovovich will star in a new movie based on a New York Times Magazine article about international sex trafficking.

The film, "Welcome to America," stems from the cover story, "The Girls Next Door," written by Peter Landesman, The Hollywood Reporter said.

Oscar-nominated screenwriter Jose Rivera of "The Motorcycle Diaries" and up-and-coming German director Marco Kreuzpaintner are also attached to the project, which starts filming later this month in Mexico City.

Kline will play a Texas police officer who finds out he may have a daughter who was sold as a sex slave. He meets up with a young Mexican boy whose 13-year-old sister has been kidnapped and in his quest to find her, he meets Jovavich's character, a Russian girl who thought she was going to be a nanny in the United States but became enslaved in Mexico.
