Bourne 4-Who Will Play Jason Bourne

[Plasmachick]

if Matt Damon couldn't?

After just recently watching the Bourne Identity and the Bourne Ultimatum recently I was wondering who would make a good Jason Bourne? And I don't dislike Matt Damon's portrayal, I think he nails it. But just curious to what others may think?

How about Brad Pitt? Has he ever been a movie where he kicked some ass? Johnny Depp maybe? Hmmm.

Neither of those too. If anyone, I would say Bale. Pitt I can see replacing Cruise on Mission: Impossible

Thanks for the response. I guess I was just going by looks

But I can see Bale. Not a big fan of his. His speech in the Dark Knight put me to sleep. I guess since Bourne doesn't do much talking it could work.

matt damon already agreed to play in the movie didn't he? i thought i remember reading somewhere that although he hates the bourne movies, he couldn't say no to them after they offered him $$$$$ to put towards his movie projects????

honestly i cannot see anyone else playing bourne. If i was crazy one night and did not read what i put above then they should leave the bourne franchise alone imho

Chris O'Donnell's about due for a comeback, no?

Seriously they better fork over the cash to Damon, otherwise don't bother, the last one was wrapped up just fine anyways.

No one can replace it.

Come on. Bale can't be everyone. If Bale was in absolutely everything then it would just be impossible to take him seriously.

Bale will soon become the leading man in all Hollywood franchises.

I don't think so. There's a such thing as suspension of disbelief. But, when an actor is in everything you can't take him seriously. But, he will never take over everything.

Agreed. Seth Rogen is going this route too.

IMO, Seth Rogen will never be considered A list. Bale already is. But, even so, just don't put them in everything.

What is with this new Serve and Protect film about him being a mall cop?

Paul Blart is all you need.

Paul Blart just happened to come out first. Rogan's film has been in production for a long time now. It's just one of those Deep Impact/Armageddon (or Dante's Peak/Volcano or A Bug's Life/Ants etc etc) situations. And besides, the tone and target audiences are completely different for the two movies.

But anyway, getting back on topic, I agree that they must keep Damon or the movie will fail. The only way they could successfully replace Damon would be if they waited at least another decade before making another one. And even then it'd be risky.

yeah he did. just a hypothetical. But there have been several different Bonds and even more Batmans. Those franchises have worked.

If I had my way I think the Bourne franchise should end at the trilogy. It ended the way it started, with him in the water. I hear that 4 will be a whole new storyline unrelated from the previous 3. Hope they don't jump the shark and ruin it.

yeah number 4 is not going to be based off of one of the novels, so they will be making their own plot etc...sounds like a recipe for a big pot of screw up!
