Jason Isaacs as Lucius Malfoy
I was watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix over the weekend and came to the conclusion that Jason Isaacs makes a terrific Lucius Malfoy. I've enjoyed his character since the beginning, and am excited to see what the next two installments -- which both provide lots more Malfoy involvement -- have in store for him.
Considering that his role in the Potter films is not exactly time consuming, Isaac has made himself available for the untitled Green Zone thriller from Paul Greengrass.
Jason Isaacs Enters Green Zone
Working Title/Universal has picked up Jason Isaacs for Green Zone, a fictionalized drama set in Iraq after the defeat of Saddam Hussein, inspired by Rajiv Chandrasekaran’s book “Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Baghdad’s Green Zone” about the blunders of U.S. administrators in attempting to reconstruct the country.
Isaacs has been brought on to play an American military officer.
Matt Damon, Greg Kinnear and Amy Ryan also star.
Paul Greengrass is directing the thriller off a script by Brian Helgeland.
