great news if you like steelbooks

Quote:

Following the American invasion of Iraq in 2003 Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller and his men are charged with finding the so-called weapons of mass destruction,whose existence justified American involvement,according to the Pentagon and their man in Baghdad,Poundsgate. Veteran CIA operative Marty tells Miller that there are no weapons,it is a deception to allow the Americans to take over the country and install a puppet leader. Marty correctly anticipates that,despite Bush's gung-ho assurances, the policy is doomed to failure. Also suspicious of Poundsgate is Wall Street Journal reporter Lawrie Dayne,who lets slip to Miller that Poundsgate told her he had secret talks in Jordan with an important Iraqi,code-named Magellan,who told him about the weapons, though it now seems likely Magellan's true information was to the contrary. Miller deduces that Magellan is General Al Rawi, a close supporter of the deposed Saddam Hussain and, accompanied by his interpreter, Freddy, a decent Iraqi who only wants stability for his country, sets out to track down Al Rawi. However, Poundsgate's men are also on Al Rawi's trail,to stop him from talking. After an explosive showdown Miller emails Lawrie to tell her that there never were any weapons,relying on her and other journalists to inform the world of Bush's deception.

I've already preordered. Its a blind buy but I doubt thats a high risk decision considering its Bourne in disguise.

It's Universal so it should be region free.

"From the writer of A Knight's Tale, Robin Hood and The Postman"

OK, that's not gonna sell this film but what will (apart from mentioning Bourne all over the cover) is it's a cracking -fairly intelligent- thriller from start to finish. Watched it last night and really enjoyed it and will be buying the first Blu-ray I see. Steelbook or complete plastic.

For £10. Or less!

Special Features:

* Deleted Scenes - with optional commentary from Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon (12:04mins)
* Matt Damon: Ready for Action - a look at how Matt Damon prepared for his role in Green Zone (9:22mins)
* Inside the Green Zone - a behind the scenes look at the making of Green Zone’s powerful scenes (8:50mins)
* The Real Miller - the real Roy Miller, Monty Gonzales, compares his real life war stories to Green Zone, distinguishing fact from fiction and reliving his old experiences vicariously through Miller’s unit (6:17mins)
* Recreating Baghdad - location managers Ben Rimmer and Terry Bryther, as well as various cast members discuss how Morocco served as a perfect location to double as Baghdad (3:11mins)
* Feature Commentary with Director Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon (ON/OFF)

Could you confirm if there are french audio & subtitles ? (they are not noted on the back cover, but if you play & test the disc, would be great ^^)

Thanks

I rented it early from Blockbuster, then bought it the day after from the same place. It's a fantastic film, the picture and sound quality is amazing!
