Trailer for Paul Greengrass’ GREEN ZONE Starring Matt Damon

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 4^th 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.  That’s fine but it could have been so much more.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer as well as new images and an official plot synopsis.  “Green Zone” hits theaters on March 12^th.

On March 12, 2010, Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, United 93) 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 covert and faulty intelligence hidden on foreign soil before war escalates in an unstable region.
