Film News That’s Not AFI Related: State Rep. Allen Vaught, Matt Damon in Green Zone

A little while ago, I told you that State Rep. Allen Vaught was going to be in a movie with Matt Damon based on Rajiv Chandrasekaran’s book Imperial Life in the Emerald City. The flick, now titled Green Zone, is currently shooting in London, which is where Vaught is now. He’s basically playing the same part he played in the Iraq war, albeit with less responsibility (he was “The Mayor of Fallujah,” after all) and way fewer lines. Besides for Damon, Green Zone also stars Greg Kinnear, Amy Ryan, and Jason Isaacs, and is directed by the somewhat divisive Paul Greengrass. Will this be the first Iraq war film to succeed? I mean, one has to, right?
