Matt Damon’s New Movie ‘Green Zone’ Uses Real Soldiers
Hollywood has made movies about the war in Iraq before.
But a new movie ‘Green Zone’ is blurring the lines between art and life by using US soldiers, who have served time in the Middle East – as actors.
‘Green Zone’ is an upcoming thriller film written and directed by Paul Greengrass. The film is based on the 2006 book Imperial Life in the Emerald City by journalist Rajiv Chandrasekaran.
