First look at Matt Damon in GREEN ZONE

No matter how much star power is pumped into them, the "war on terror" movies haven't proven to be neither box office Gold or of any real quality, not even remotely tackling certain issues as effectively or thoroughly as we would like. In fact I would argue that the most effective film tackling the subject in recent times would be Paul Greengrass' own United 93, a film that never once delved into American politics. The talented British director will be looking to stir up emotions with Green Zone, his next movie which re-teams him with his Bourne star Matt Damon. Here's our first look at the picture from filming out in central London thanks to The Bad and Ugly...

The fictional thriller is roughly based upon Rajiv Chandrasekaran€™s nonfiction book €œImperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq€™s Green Zone€ and follows a group of U.S. troops in Iraqi occupation who the press claim are being mis-treated by the men in charge who know nothing of what it is like to experience life in that war zone. Matt Damon leads the film as an officer who teams with CIA officials to search for evidence on weapons of mass destruction. Greg Kinnear, I believe plays one such official and IMDB have Jason Isaacs listed down as Major Briggs. Amy Ryan is a New York Times foreign correspondent reporting on whether there were nuclear weapons in Iraq.

Brendan Gleeson and Antoni Carone are also on board.

Looks cool, I like the different feel to the cast from what I was expecting. I really enjoyed Amy Ryan's work last year and it's great to see her push out into different kind of roles and the same goes for Greg Kinnear who has floundered with the same old shit for way too long now. This should be good! source - coming soon
