Damon Holds No Grudges Over ‘Bourne’

I think it’s fair to say Matt Damon is considered one of the nice guys in Hollywood. Sometimes that doesn’t work out so well for him, as with the inference in Team America: World Police that he’s effectively retarded, but that’s an isolated instance. There was a chance he’d turn into an angry Mel Gibson/Russell...

Jeremy Renner The New Non-Bourne?

It looks like one man has been chosen to try and replace Matt Damon as the star of the next non-Bourne movie. The man with the surely impossible task is Jeremy Renner, at least according to Latino Review. A reminder that the next Bourne film isn’t actually a Bourne film, because the character of Jason...

‘Bourne Legacy’ Lead Up For Grabs

Matt Damon is a tough act to follow, and I wouldn’t like to be the person chosen to attempt to do in the Bourne series. Not that there is any chance of that, obviously, but it appears I’m one of the few 30-something males not vying for the lead role in The Bourne Legacy. The...

Matt Damon Talks ‘Bourne 4′ Snub

In case you haven’t heard, there is a fourth Bourne movie on the way, except the character of Jason Bourne isn’t actually involved. Which also means Matt Damon isn’t involved, something he’s not too happy about. As soon as Paul Greengrass left for pastures new (ahem) Bourne 4 was always going to be a tricky...

Tony Gilroy Directing ‘Bourne 4′

Bourne 4, provisionally titled The Bourne Legacy, is to be directed by Tony Gilroy, with Paul Greengrass having exited after the third film. The question now is whether Matt Damon will return as Jason Bourne or whether he’ll follow Greengrass out the door. The Bourne Legacy has had a difficult life so far, with Universal...

Matt Damon: No ‘Bourne 4’ Script Yet

What? There’s still no script for Bourne 4 yet – isn’t that cutting it a little fine. After The Bourne Ultimatum was released, everyone assumed that would be it for the character of Jason Bourne. But the film ended in such a way that the series could continue, and it’s definitely going to. There’s to...

Matt Damon Talks ‘Bourne 4’

There is no doubt in my mind that a fourth Bourne movie will happen. There is too much money in the series for anyone involved to walk away, even if the end of The Bourne Ultimatum would have ended the series nicely. We know it’s coming, and Matt Damon has signed on the dotted line,...

Frank Marshall Talks ‘Bourne 4’, ‘Jurassic Park IV’, And More

Frank Marshall is currently busy working on M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender, but his role as a producer means he always has other irons in the fire. He recently spoke to Coming Soon about some of those projects, revealing what stage they were at, with some faring better than others. On Bourne 4: “We’d...

Matt Damon Talks ‘Bourne 4’

I never liked Matt Damon until the Bourne films, and now he’s one of my favorite actors around. Until the first Bourne film, I used to equate him to the Team America: World Police parody which has him as a bit of a vegetable who can only repeat his own name very slowly. Now, I...

Bourne 4 To Be ‘The Parsifal Mosaic’

The Bourne series of films is one of my favorite of the new breed of uber-franchises, and I’ve made no secret of my desire to see more of the films. In the same way that James Bond has survived for 22 films, I feel Jason Bourne could, if the series is treated the right way....

Universal Secures Ludlum Back Catalogue – Including More ‘Bourne’

It’s a real shame that the author Robert Ludlum died in 2001, while The Bourne Identity was being made, because his work is suddenly very in demand in Hollywood. So much so that Universal Pictures have done a deal to secure the Jason Bourne character and have first look on any other novels. The Bourne...

‘Bourne 4’ – Joan Allen Knows Nothing

We already know that a fourth Bourne Movie is on the way, though no details are yet known about which characters and actors will be back, or what the storyline will be. In fact, it seems Paul Greengrass is still unsure over the direction to take the series, and Matt Damon is probably even less...
