Fourth 'Bourne' Film Moves Forward With Greengrass & Damon; Acquires New-ish Writer
:: The Playlist :: —
Interesting. We were just thinking about this film today for some random reason. When word first came out there would be a fourth installment of the Jason Bourne series we sort of scoffed. Both director Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon seemed done with the series, it had ended on a relatively high note and the franchise never embarrassed itself (quite the feat with most McFranchises these days). So there would seemingly be no reason to go back because life is to short and you want to take on different creative avenues, right? Well, Universal is dead serious about moving forward and they've hired ...

Brad Pitt will produce and may star in an outer space version of The Odyssey for Warner Bros., and the studio is looking to sign George Miller as director. It is indeed an interesting project for Pitt since he also starred in Troy, which was kind of an adaptation of Homer’s The Iliad. But even more interesting is the fact that this isn’t the first Odyssey in space movie announced this week. On Monday, Ridley Scott described his next project as “The Odyssey by way of Blade Runner.”
Pitt may also play Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane ...
Bourne Again: Nolfi to Write Fourth Film
At The Movies - Film News and Reviews —
Jason Bourne, wondering where he’s going next.
Variety reports that George Nolfi is set to write the fourth film in the Bourne series of action-adventurers. Nolfi was one of the screenwriters on the third film, The Bourne Ultimatum. Star Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass are already set to continue the series.
Variety makes a point of saying that this fourth movie will be based on an original story. Of course I believe Ludlum only wrote one, maybe two? Bourne novels, and any others have been written by ghostwriters, so it’s not like it’s a huge loss of an original voice. If ...
