The first poster for the upcoming war film “Green Zone,” based on Rajiv Chandrasekaran’s nonfiction book “Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq’s Green Zone,” has been released.
“Green Zone” Plot: “During the U.S.-led occupation of Baghdad in 2003, Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller (Damon) and his team of Army inspectors were dispatched to find weapons of mass destruction believed to be stockpiled in the Iraqi desert. Rocketing from one booby-trapped and treacherous site to the next, the men search for deadly chemical agents but stumble instead upon an elaborate cover-up that inverts the purpose of their mission.
Spun by operatives with intersecting agendas, Miller must hunt through covert and faulty intelligence hidden on foreign soil for answers that will either clear a rogue regime or escalate a war in an unstable region. And at this blistering time and in this combustible place, he will find the most elusive weapon of all is the truth.”

It stars Matt Damon, Amy Ryan, and Greg Kinnear. Production began in January 2008 in Spain and will move on to Morocco. A release date has yet to be determined.
Matt Damon portrays an officer who helps a senior CIA officer in the search for weapons of mass destruction.
Damon joined the film with the assurance that production would conclude by April 14, 2008 so he could start working on the Steven Soderbergh film ‘The Informant’ on April 15, amidst the scheduling difficulties caused by Writers Guild of America strike.
Amy Ryan plays a foreign correspondent for The New York Times who investigates the U.S.
