A fourth movie in the Ludlum series soon or were we BOURNE yesterday?

by Matt Holmes

Buried deep over the weekend in one of Variety's strange "outlook" stories, it was reported the following...

More recently, Shmuger and Linde landed Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon for a fourth "Bourne" movie, even though the director and star seemed ready to wrap it up after three pics.
Mmmm. Typically from the trade, it's one of those stories where they don't really tell us all that much because they probably know as little as we do. I'm pretty certain Matt Damon will be back as BOURNE but maybe not so soon, despite what Variety say. Yeah it's not easy to walk away from such a successful series but I think Damon is wanting to explore other avenues for the time being but I'm pretty certain he'll be back one. Just not yet. Although one thing we shouldn't forget is that Greengrass and Damon are working together on the Iraqi drama GREEN ZONE. Notoriously when actors and directors spend so much time today, they tend to cook up ideas and future projects... the subject of a fourth BOURNE movie is bound to have come up.
