Has Stopped Following Orders

Baghdad, 2003. Following the American invasion, Army officer Roy Miller, played by Matt Damon, is tasked with locating weapons of mass destruction that are supposedly hidden in various parts of the country. His team raids one hideout after another, each more dangerous than the last, but the findings don't match the reports they have received. Miller begins to doubt the information coming from his superiors. Directed by Paul Greengrass, the film follows a group of soldiers advancing through explosions and conflicting orders, with the constant sense that every step is taken blindly.

Trivia about Green Zone

The film cost $100 million to make and grossed $95 million worldwide. The English-language press considered it a commercial failure because of that gap.

Filming began on January 10, 2008 at Los Alcázares Air Base in Spain, and then moved to Morocco. It was scheduled to start at the end of 2007.

Tom Stoppard was the first screenwriter considered to write the script for Greengrass, but he couldn't do it because he was too busy. Brian Helgeland took his place.

The character of Roy Miller was loosely inspired by Richard "Monty" Gonzales, who served as the film's military adviser for two years.

The film was nominated for a Visual Effects Society Award in the category of Outstanding Visual Effects in a Supporting Role, but lost to Hereafter, another film starring Matt Damon.

Filmmaker Michael Moore defended the film and called it the most honest Hollywood production about the Iraq War.

Many of the soldiers in Matt Damon's unit were real veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars; Damon explained that it was difficult for him to give orders to actual military personnel.

The third act had to be reshot months later because Matt Damon had to leave to work on "The Informant!"; the additional cost came to several million dollars.

Quotes by Green Zone

[to Lawrie Dayne] At least tell me how it happened. How does this happ... how does someone like you write something that's not true? Tell me.
[to Miller] It is not for you to decide what happens here.
Your government wanted to hear the lie Mr. Miller... they wanted Saddam out and they did exactly what they had to do... this is why you are here...
[to Poundstone] You cannot just hand this country over to an exile no one's ever heard of, and a bunch of interns from Washington.
