Here's what it says:
"Tony Gilroy to Write The Bourne Legacy!"
Source: Universal Pictures
June 9, 2010

Universal Pictures announced today that Tony Gilroy is returning to write the script for The Bourne Legacy, the fourth installment in the Jason Bourne franchise. Gilroy is also writing a "franchise bible." He penned The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum.

Frank Marshall and Pat Crowley are also back to produce alongside Captivate Entertainment's Jeffrey Weiner and Ben Smith.

While "The Bourne Legacy" is a book written by Eric Lustabader in Robert Ludlum's "Bourne" series, the film will not be based on it.

Matt Damon has gone on record that he wouldn't reprise the role if director Paul Greengrass is not returning. We'll have to wait and see if this announcement changes Damon's mind.

I don't think Damon will do a 4th if his director (Paul Greengrass) doesn't return; he's said it a million times he won't do another one without him so obviously there's a Great working relationship already in place & they both respect the hell out of each other. Damon doesn't Need whatever $$$$ they'll throw at him (if Greengrass isn't available, or they can't come to an agreement), which would prob. be upwards of $20-25 Million plus back-end points. I'm sure he made Plenty with the last two & they prob. gave him a nice "bonus" with the Success ($214 Million Worldwide, $121 Million Domestic - 2002) of the first one anyway, before signing on to the last two installments.

They won't DO IT without Damon; everyone knows/wants HIM as Bourne, end of story. Hopefully IF they do a 4th (which they don't Need to, but as usual, $$$$$$ Talks), they'll get Greengrass back, as he obviously has a great working relationship with Damon & everyone involved in this series, & Is a Great Director.

Some decent names there, but as I noted above, I don't see this franchise moving on "Successfully" without Matt Damon in the Lead role as Jason Bourne, & hopefully with Greengrass returning in the Directors' Chair.

Tony Gilroy, the director of Michael Clayton and Duplicity, has signed on to direct the fourth film in the Jason Bourne franchise, reports Deadline.

The film, currently titled The Bourne Legacy, comes from a script by Gilroy, who also wrote The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum, both of which were directed by Paul Greengrass.

Although leading man Matt Damon had previously stated that he had no desire to return without Greengrass at the helm, he has also admitted to being excited for a fourth Bourne outing. Even with the shift in franchise directors, attempts are certainly underway to negotiate Damon's return.

The filmic Bourne series has been loosely adapted from the novels by Robert Ludlum. The original film, The Bourne Identity, was directed by Doug Liman.
