Brendan Gleeson (Beowulf, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix) has been signed for Paul Greengrass' upcoming untitled thriller Green Zone, reports Variety. The actor will join leading star Matt Damon, fellow "Potter" star Jason Isaacs, Greg Kinnear and Amy Ryan. The Universal Pictures/Working Title production is currently shooting in Spain.
Plot Concept: The Brian Helgeland-scripted drama is a fictionalized drama inspired by the Rajiv Chandrasekaran book "Imperial Life in the Emerald City," and the drama focuses on the dichotomy between the Green Zone, where troops are housed, and the streets of Baghdad after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. Pic posits that bureaucrats are making policy decisions about the country's rebuilding even though they're in a sheltered enclave without a clear view of all that is happening.
