We’ve known a fourth Bourne movie was going to happen for awhile now, in fact producer Frank Marshall has been talking it up for months. But apparently these days nothing is real unless it’s on Twitter. So now that Marshall tonight announced it on his Twitter page, it’s definitely going to happen! I give this Twitter frenzy another two weeks, then we can all quit hyperventilating and actually get around to enjoying it.

Though most of Marshall’s Bourne related Twitter posts were actually kind of old news, he did offer one useful tidbit. They have a release date. Well not a release date exactly, but he says they’re shooting to release it in summer of 2011. Though in the past Marshall had talked about releasing it in 2010, that makes sense they’re still writing the thing. Odds are Matt Damon will be back and so will his kicking of ass. That’s all anyone can ask.

Man, I still feel they wrapped up the trilogy so nicely, but I guess if Damon returns along with Greengrass it's highly unlikely the movie will be bad.

+ 1 -- Greengrass has turned out to be the perfect Director for this series.

Id like to see some more gun fights

Stoudman · 04-13-2009, 04:43 PM

Somehow I still can't see "Matt Damon" and "Kicking of Ass" in the same sentence without laughing so hard I almost knock myself unconscious from lack of oxygen.

Darkhawk9587 · 04-13-2009, 05:32 PM

I hope the story is good. They have progressively gotten better in the series IMO. Can't wait for 2011. So many films I want to see.

LynxFX · 04-13-2009, 06:17 PM

I like Matt Damon, but if Greengrass comes back, I won't bother. I can spin around my office chair until I puke for free. Death to shakycam!

I agree. It got a little rediculous in the third film. And, he influenced other films to use the style too *cough* Quantum of Solace *cough*. But at least he didn't do the in-your-face fight scenes like he did in the second one. I hated that. COuldn't tell what was going on.

lol i don't even remember what transpired in the 2nd film. then again i think all of the bourne's, while great writing and great action, are fairly forgettable (imo). doesn't mean they aren't re-watchable, i could watch them again and again. i just don't remember much of what actually happens in them.

Am I missing something here? Is this sarcasm?

no he just feels the need to be completely negative in every thread he posts in

Cisco in HD · 04-13-2009, 09:12 PM

I don't mind him doing #4, plotwise, who's left for him to go after? Or will he rescue Pamela Landy?

Irrob · 04-13-2009, 09:51 PM

Very curious to see where they take this. Looked like they wrapped things up nicely.

Aha. You don't see much of that around here.

Frankly, I want a reboot that faithfully adapts the Ludlum novels. Bring in Marie St Jacques and Carlos the Jackal in there.

They need to have him not running and more of a Bourne Supremacy (the book) story going on (forceably forced back into action by the government or similiar). So as to remain true withing the series but still be fresh.

The books are to complicated for a theatrical movie, a mini series would be good. The movies are still very good though.

Personally though, i'd prefer they end the seires with the third one. Everything has been answered that was initially questioned, it really doesn't need another movie. Though the studios will want one as it made so much $$$.

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

Gamma_Winstead · 06-10-2010, 12:30 AM

Well duh. Of course the film won't be based on it. Only the first film has been based on the book anyways.
