F.A.Q.
Q:Why did Matt Damon perform his own stunts in Green Zone?
A:
Matt Damon insisted on performing his own stunts in 'Green Zone' to maintain the authenticity of his character. This decision came after his intensive training with a former U.S. military advisor who was on set. Damon felt that using a stunt double would detract from the realism of the fast-paced action sequences.
Q:How did the filmmakers create the realistic Baghdad setting in Green Zone?
A:
The filmmakers of 'Green Zone' created the realistic Baghdad setting by using locations in Spain and Morocco, which closely resembled the Iraqi landscape. They spent over $5 million on constructing detailed sets, including a replica of Baghdad's Republican Palace, to ensure the film's authenticity without ever filming in Iraq.
Q:What really happened when 'Green Zone' almost didn't get its ending?
A:
The ending of 'Green Zone' was almost completely different. Just weeks before wrapping up, director Paul Greengrass decided the original ending felt too unresolved. In a last-minute change, they reshot the entire final sequence in Morocco, adding an additional $2 million to the budget to better reflect the complex realities of the war.
