First Matt Damon’s “Green Zone” Poster
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.”
The film is directed by Paul Greengass (Bourne Supremacy, United 93, Bourne Ultimatum). The script was written by Brian Helgeland (L.A. Confidential, Conspiracy Theory, Mystic River, Man on Fire).

Viggo Mortensen’s “Good” Trailer And Poster
“Good” where Viggo Mortensen – the Oscar nominee – leads a cast including Mark Strong, Jason Isaacs, Steven Mackintosh, Jodie Whitaker, Gemma Jones and Rick Warden. The drama is directed by Vicente Amorim from the script by John Wrathall based on a play by Cecil Philip Taylor.
John Halder (Mortensen) is a ‘good’ and decent individual with family problems: a neurotic wife, two demanding children and a mother suffering from senile dementia. A literary professor, Halder explores his personal circumstances in a novel advocating compassionate euthanasia. When the book is unexpectedly enlisted by powerful political figures in support of government propaganda, Halder finds his career rising in an optimistic current of nationalism and prosperity. Seemingly inconsequential decisions lead to choices, which lead to more choices… with eventually devastating effect.
‘My film flopped and Hollywood didn’t want to touch me’
Despite show-stealing turns in the Harry Potter films, Jason Isaacs found himself rejected by the film industry. He tells Emine Saner how winning a role in the gritty US drama Brotherhood salvaged his career.
Jason Isaacs has the kind of face that is hard to remember, and I mean that as a compliment. It’s not that he’s average-looking – he’s not (it’s those glinty pale blue eyes) – but somehow he manages to disappear into each role he plays. I don’t think he was too offended when I told him I had never heard of him (I know, I’m charming). What I remember instead are his characters. One of the most extraordinary, in 2006, was Chris in Scars, a low-budget one-off Channel 4 film in which Isaacs played a real-life violent offender. Or the villainous British colonel in The Patriot. Or the deliciously camp Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films. Or the ethically challenged British ambassador in the BBC drama The State Within, for which he has been nominated for a Golden Globe. The event has now been cancelled because of the ongoing writers’ strike, but like many of the stars, Isaacs says he wouldn’t have crossed the picket line. Continue Reading…
