The Moroccan Filmmaker sent in this note about & some images from the filming of Paul Greengrass' GREEN ZONE, which should hit theaters next year.

It's based on the book Imperial Life in the Emerald City by Rajiv Chandrasekaran (available HERE) and is about the U.S. occupation of Iraq. It's being adapted by Brian Helgeland (writer and/or director of PAYBACK & A KNIGHT'S TALE), and stars Matt Damon, Jason Isaacs and Greg Kinnear.


Here's The Moroccan Filmmaker's note, followed by images.

I stumbled this Sunday on the shoot of Paul
Greengrass's film 'Green Zone' in my hometown,
Mohammedia. I managed to take some quick pics although
it was not allowed and i talked to some English
members of the crew. The film is based on Rajiv
Chandrasekaran's book 'Imperial Life in the Emerald
City' who was the former Baghdad (Iraq) Bureau Chief
of the Washington Post.

The American Army refused to help the making of this
film because of its critical stance towards the
occupation of Iraq. So i was told that all the army
equipment used in this film belongs to the Moroccan
army, and that there will be also some CGI work done
for material that the Moroccan army doesn't have.

THE FIRST THREE IMAGES CAN BE EMBIGGENED!!!
