Poster for 'Green Zone' Stares Back At You
Damon would like you to keep your eyes to yourself
Empire has scored the poster for Universal's Green Zone starring Matt Damon and directed by Paul Greengrass.
The film is due in theaters on March 12, 2010 and is set set in the early days of the Iraqi War when no one could be trusted and every decision could detonate unforeseen consequences. Damon leads a team of Army inspectors, dispatched to find weapons of mass destruction believed to be stockpiled in the Iraqi desert. Moving 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.
I have added the trailer just above and the poster just below. For more information you can click here where we have a gallery of three additional images.

Looks like a Bourne poster
@EuGenogo
Exactly.
Looks like a Bourne poster. It's from the director of two Bourne movies. And stars the Bourne actor. Even the tagline could've been from a Bourne movie.
So why don't they just change the name to 'The Bourne Zone'?? =P
I´m tired of film making style of Paul Greengrass and similiar hotshots. They may appeal to youngsters of today (meaning box office results) but these films will fade away fast. This kind of filmmaking is no different than the dreadful form of commericals. Actors and in some cases the director is redundant; it´s all about editing the sound and the fury. Faster and faster until you see nothing, hear nothing, know nothing.
The tagline is… kinda hilarious.
@Helgi: Quite the high-horse you've climbed on huh? We must look like ants from down there, I happen to enjoy Greengrass' style of filmmaking in the Bourne films; it's good in doses and is a perfect example escapism on a cold alberta-winter's day. I'd reach for the Bourne series just as quickly as I would a Kubrick film on the shelf that same day. Granted Kubrick is light-years ahead of Greengrass artistically and perhaps talent wise(I've never seen any of Paul's other works), but to call the series and ergo Greengrass "Dreadful," is a bit of a stretch (see Uwe Boll, The "Disaster Movie" guys and Brent(?) Rattner For Dreadful). Anyways back onto topic I'll watch anything with Matt Damon and am interested in diving into see Greengrass outside of The Bourne Box.
Sincerely,

@Helgi:
I agree with MylesMan, you are rather on a high horse, being so categorically critical of a style of art. Personally, I prefer longer cuts to shorter cuts. But Paul Greengrass is the king of quick-cut editing. Compare his movies to their imitators. In "The Bourne Ultimatum," every cut adds another element to the scene, and it only heightens the tensions. But in, say, "Quantum of Solace," the quick cuts are rarely necessary, and half the time they look like two long cuts spliced between each other to create 20. There are good ways and bad ways to do quick cuts, and Greengrass does it the good way.
This movie looks soooo bland. It does not give me pleasure in any way to say this but it's true.
