Check out the first official picture from Green Zone, the new film from Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass, who gave us The Bourne Ultimatum.

Empire says that this film is Greengrass‘ take on the situation in Iraq, but Damon assures us audiences won’t turn away from it.

“[We're] not trying to make a statement,” Damon says of the flick. “Particularly with a movie that costs $80 or $90 million. Hopefully this will feel like an accurate portrayal of what things were like for these guys. You can’t do a polemic – you should be blogging if that’s what you want to do.”

Not On Our Watch, a non-profit founded in part by George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Don Cheadle, has reportedly given a half a million dollars to Save the Children for emergency relief work in Myanmar (Burma).

“Cyclone Nargis has left an estimated 100,000 Burmese dead and one million without shelter. While the international community has offered limited aid, Not On Our Watch remains committed to donating funds toward lifesaving programs in Burma and advocating for an end to the military regime’s gross violations of human rights.”

MTV News reports that Not On Our Watch has given $250,000 to Save the Children up front, and will match every additional dollar given to the aid group up to $250,000.
