Empire Magazine has the first poster for the Iraq War thriller Green Zone starring Matt Damon and directed by Paul Greengrass. The two worked together on The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum, which might explain why the poster and trailer look like a continuation of that series rather than a fast-paced political flick.
If this one sheet looks like a simple, washed out picture of Damon, that’s because it is. But wait a minute, you’re missing the cringe-worthy tag line. “Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller Is Done Following Orders.” There, that ought to bring people in droves.

I’ve already made my feelings about “Green Zone” abundantly clear and it’s going to be difficult for me to put aside what I think the film should’ve been and trying to appreciate what director Paul Greengrass actually made. The funny thing is that if I had no idea what the book was about, I would be pretty excited for what look like the 4th Jason Bourne movie since “Supremacy” and “Ultimatum”, which Greengrass directed, are both fantastic films.
Still, when I look at the film’s first poster, it’s hard for me to choke down a tagline like “Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller Is Done Following Orders”. Thankfully, the film doesn’t come out until March 12th, 2010 so I still have some time to adjust. Check out the poster and a brief synopsis after the jump.

Here’s a couple of new images from Matt Damon’s Green Zone. If you didn’t catch our news about it a couple of days ago, both the Domestic and International trailers were released 12 hours apart from one another which caught us all by surprise as they were completely different in their content. We have them both on HeyUGuys for your viewing pleasure – click the links above to view. The international trailer gives you a much better idea of the story but they’re both worth a watch.
In the meantime, we have these new images (click them below to enlarge) from the movie which is set to blow your socks off March 12th. As well as Damon, Green Zone stars Greg Kinnear, Amy Ryan, Brendan Gleeson, Jason Isaacs, Khalid Abdalla.

The first trailer for Green Zone, the new Matt Damon thriller directed by The Bourne Ultimatum's Paul Greengrass, just hit the Web two days ago. But apparently there was a surplus of kick-ass, leaving the filmmakers no choice but to release a second, equally awesome trailer today. The new trailer packs a lot of the same plot set-up — Damon is an army warrant officer who butts heads with a cagey journalist (Amy Ryan) and a shady government dude (Greg Kinnear). But this time around, we're served even more intense action, including some jaw-dropping shots of a flaming helicopter spiraling »

Yesterday we told you about the brand spanking new trailer for Paul Greengrass's Iraq War thriller, Green Zone here. Sure, it looked a whole lot like The Bourne Middle East Conflict, but in a totally good way. Who doesn't want to see more of badass Matt Damon taking on the man in search of who he really is and what he was really trained to kill for? Now we have the international trailer for Green Zone, and it still looks awesome. However, rather than focus on Greengrass's quick editing and amazing eye for suspense, this footage relies more on the story, which looks damn interesting. Sure, it has a cell phone revelation scene, much like the one at the end of The Bourne Ultimatum and two dudes fighting in a claustrophobic room, but it's still Greengrass and Damon, together, making a movie about a dude beating people up. And really, »

Yesterday we posted the domestic trailer for director Paul Greengrass’ (”The Bourne Supremacy”, “The Bourne Ultimatum”, “United 93″) “Green Zone”. While the movie is about a rogue U.S. Army officer (Matt Damon) in Iraq, for a moment I thought I was watching the trailer for the next Bourne movie. That’s not a bad thing, it’s just the way Universal was selling the film in the trailer. But over in the United Kingdom, Universal has released a Much different trailer as it uses other footage to tell the story. Trust me, watch both trailers. You’ll be amazed at how different they are. Both are after the jump:
Here’s the synopsis:
On March 12, 2010, Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass re-team for the electrifying thriller “Green Zone”. In the film, Damon stars as Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller, a rogue U.S. Army officer who must hunt through »

Universal Pictures has brought forth the first trailer for its forthcoming thriller "Green Zone". Debuted at Yahoo! Movies, the promo video features glimpses of Matt Damon as Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller, Greg Kinnear as CIA officer Clark Poundstone and Amy Ryan as The Wall Street Journal's foreign correspondent Lawrie Dayne.
Set in the chaotic early days of the Iraqi War, Roy Miller and his team of Army inspectors were dispatched to find weapons of mass destruction believed to be stockpiled in the Iraqi desert. Going from one booby-trapped and treacherous site to the next, the men stumble upon an elaborate cover-up that inverts the purpose of their mission instead of finding deadly chemical agents.
Soon, Miller finds himself in a world where no one could be trusted and every decision could detonate unforeseen consequences. Still, he faces the danger head on. And, through covert and faulty intelligence hidden on foreign soil, »

Green Zone [watch the trailer] It's not exactly Bourne 4, but if you watched this trailer without knowing the name of the film, you may indeed question whether or not this was some secret Bourne sequel that no one told you about. Instead, though, it's called Green Zone – and it looks very Bourne-esque because the film reunites Matt Damon (who played Jason Bourne) with director Paul Greengrass (who directed The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum). So, yeah, you'll see a lot of that familiar Matt Damon ass-kickery set to some quick, shaky camera cuts, however this flick is completely different from that series. In Green Zone, Damon stars as a rogue Army officer who's searching for Weapons of Mass Destruction during the Iraq war. Usually moviegoers...

You know, for an actor who claims he doesn't enjoy doing violent movies, Matt Damon has sure racked up quite a few movies that showcase some major ass kicking, flying bullets and dead bodies. His latest thriller titled "Green Zone" is no exception. Universal has released the first trailer which reunites "The Bourne Ultimatum" director Paul Greengrass and star Matt Damon. The film can be described as a fourth "Borne" movie. In fact, they may as well have just called the movie "The Bourne Legacy" and they would have been guaranteed box office success because the "Green Zone" just doesn't do it for me. In any case, you can check out the trailer inside. Let us know what you think!

To say that I’m disappointed by the trailer for Paul Greengrass’ upcoming film, “Green Zone”, would be an understatement. What you’re essentially getting is a 4th Jason Bourne movie. And yes, the direction looks amazing and I’m sure Matt Damon, Amy Ryan, and Greg Kinnear will all do a good job. But I’ve seen this movie twice already from Greengrass. By choosing this direction, he’s missed a golden opportunity to do something fresh and different because the source material, Rajiv Chandrasekaran’s “Imperial Life in the Emerald City”, is not an action-packed thriller. It’s in the vein of “Catch-22″ and made all the more absurd by the fact that it’s all true. Maybe it’s because I attached my expectations to this film but I’m feeling a bit deflated since it looks like all we’re getting is a thrilling action movie. »

When you sit down to a horror film, you know, at least on a basic level, what you're getting into. Whether or not the movie delivers, what you've been promised, and what you're braced for or looking forward to, are scares. Which is why, when we look back on those truly traumatic movie memories, the titles that come to mind often are not horror films at all.
The most frightening movie moments can arrive out of nowhere, in the midst of where they shouldn't belong, catching you when you're vulnerable -- which is why there are a few alleged children's films on this list. But they can also creep up on you, working a different kind of dread, which is where some of the documentaries included below fit in. Fear is a funny thing. It comes in different varieties, it can work its way on you in unanticipated, and, as our collection here proves, »

Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon teamed up for one of the best political action/thrillers in recent memory with The Bourne Ultimatum. While a fourth Bourne movie may be some years away still, Greengrass and Damon have teamed up for another political action/thriller titled Green Zone that, from the trailer anyway, looks every bit as exhilarating as a Bourne movie. This one might lean a little more towards the political than the action, but I'm still digging what I see here. The movie hits... »

At the risk of sounding uneducated, I'll admit only within the past couple years did I become aware of the term "whistleblower" as well as the sort of subgenre in drama focusing on the brave characters who dare to take down powerful people and organizations. Variety reports that Monica Belluci (Shoot 'Em Up), David Strathairn (The Bourne Ultimatum) and Vanessa Redgrave (Venus) are joining Rachel Weisz (The Brothers Bloom) in the true story of a policewoman who uncovers an international scandal in a film called, aptly, The Whistleblower. The film is a Canadian-German co-production in partnership with Barry Films. The film, which begins shooting in Romania next week directed by Larysa Kondracki, highlights a scandal involving both American contractors and the United Nations in postwar Bosnia. While Weisz is playing the title character Kathryn Bolkovac, a U.N. peacekeeper whom co-writers Ellis Kirwan and Larysa Kondracki (making her directorial debut »

Matt Damon has revealed that Gandhi inspired him from a young age to do as much as possible to help others. The Bourne Ultimatum star, who works with global water crisis charity Water.org and the One campaign, said that his mother Nancy encouraged him to get involved with humanitarian work like Gandhi. Damon told Parade: "When I was a boy, my mom had a magnet on the refrigerator with a little picture of Gandhi along with a quote from him. It said, 'No matter how insignificant what you do may seem, it is important that you do it'." He continued: "As a child, I was raised to believe that, and to this day I do (more) »

Screen Rant has been tracking the Scott Mann-directed action thriller The Tournament for a few months. The independent film by the UK director has been shopping for a distributor for awhile now and even opened L.A. Scream Fest recently in hopes of getting picked up for Us distribution. It would appear the struggling Weinstein Company has done just that but unfortunately it will be for DVD release only and it comes out this Tuesday, October 20th.
The Tournament stars Ving Rhames (Mission Impossible), Kelly Hu (X-Men 2), Ian Somerhalder (Lost), and Scott Adkins (The Bourne Ultimatum) as a group of elite assassins that converge on an unsuspecting town to compete in a deadly game of King of the Mountain where the last man standing wins $10 million dollars and the title of the world’s greatest assassin. Robert Carlyle (Stargate Universe) is a priest that gets unwittingly dragged into the »

Things on the set of the Red Dawn remake sure have been jumping lately. Tanks, machine guns, explosions, Chinese invaders, and oh yeah, Explosions! Thanks to the great guys over at Red Dawn 2010, we have some fan footage of an explosion from the set of movie as they were filming it as well as some great high quality stills taken by photographer David Guralnick at The Detroit News.
Dan Bradley is making his solo directorial debut with Red Dawn and many people are concerned that he may not have the ability to pull it off. The man does have plenty of 2nd Unit and Stunt Directing experience and it’s that experience that I think will help drive this movie into the “great” category. He oversaw the stunt work in the movies The Bourne Ultimatum, Spider-Man 3, Crank, Cradle 2 the Grave, Donnie Darko and he did 2nd directing on Quantum of Solace, »

Universal Studios has released synopses for some of their major 2010 films and the two that are especially worth reading are “MacGruber” and Ridley Scott’s “Untitled Robin Hood Adventure”. While it might surprise you to hear this, a few people have told me “MacGruber” is going to shock everyone next year as it’s a super-violent, hard-r movie. Also, I’ve heard there are many lines that we’re all going to quote. Did I mention Val Kilmer plays the villain and his name is Dieter Von Cunth? I know, I know–I am just as shocked to report SNL’s “MacGruber” might be a great movie.
As for Ridley Scott’s “Untitled Robin Hood Adventure”, this synopsis is the first real story details I’m hearing about the plot. Since I haven’t watched every version of “Robin Hood”, I’ll let the synopses do the talking, but I »
