Rudeboy2025 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Variety posted an extensive article about the future of Universal Studios, now that the writers strike is over. Apparently, the studio will launch several high-profile projects, which include several franchises. One of those franchises is the "Bourne" series, which both Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass have agreed to return for.The article states: "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."It has been recently reported that Damon has changed his mind about returning for a fourth installment, even though he seemed very confident during the 2007 Cannes interview. "I'm definitely done with that. I think we've ridden that horse as far as we can. The character lives on in the books and if someone else wanted to play it it, I guess they could."According to the following numbers, Universal would be crazy to turn down this lucrative and well received franchise. "Bourne Identity" earned $214 million theatrically on a $60 million budget. "Bourne Supremacy" earned $288 million theatrically, on a $75 million budget. And "Bourne Ultimatum" made over $442 million theatrically on a $110 million.Source: WorstPreviews.comI'm in two minds about this.I'm excited to hear that they're making another one, but Robert Ludlum only wrote 3 books. The 2 other books are by a different author and I hear that they are bad. I don't know if they will adapt another book or if the writers will make up their own story. I'm hoping for the latter. If they can do it right, I'll be their opening night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HATE9X Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Saw only the third one when the early dvd quality workprint came out, but it felt kinda "broken" probably 'cos I haven't seen the two earlier movies.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The storyline is really hard to understand, when i saw the first movie i didn't get it for the first 30 minutes, after that it became clear. The first movie is hard to understand too because the two main characters look alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derbian Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I wonder if this time they will kill off Bourne? Glad there's a fourth film to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
