Rappy Veteran Posted July 31, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted July 31, 2009 Back in April we heard that Universal were aiming for a Bourne 4 summer 2011 release and a draft of the script should be finished by June. Well it is now the end of July and according to Matt Damon they still don?t have a script. From Sci-Fi Wire ?I just saw [producer] Frank Marshall, and we were talking about it,? Damon said in a group interview today in Pasadena, Calif., where he was promoting his History Channel special The People Speak. ?Then I?ve talked to [bourne Supremacy and Ultimatum director] Paul Greengrass quite a bit about that.? During press rounds for Ultimatum, Damon and Greengrass joked that a fourth film would have to be called The Bourne Redundancy, because the character has already found his identity. For his part, Damon says he?s interested in reprising the action-hero role, but won?t commit before confirming the quality of the script. ?Oh yeah, we won?t do it unless it?s good,? Damon added. ?Promise.? The literary world was able to continue the Bourne series even after Ludlum?s death: Eric Van Lustbader wrote The Bourne Betrayal, The Bourne Deception, The Bourne Legacy and The Bourne Sanction. ?I didn?t read those,? Damon said. Since a script is still a long way off, Damon has not had to hit the gym to get back into fighting shape. He will, when the time comes, if necessary, he said. ?Not yet,? he said. ?None us have kind of seen [a script] yet, and Paul?s still cutting a movie that we worked on, so we?ll get together and talk about it.?o we?ll get together and talk about it.? George Nolfi has been hired to write the script, so he could be working on it as we speak. Aslong as they get things going during 2010 they should hit their 2011 spot.

Rappy Veteran Posted August 17, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted August 17, 2009 First up is Bourne 4, the arguably unnecessary continuation of a very well-contained trilogy. Hearing that star Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass had agreed to do another film for Universal was surprising; hearing that they don?t yet know how another film is actually going to work isn?t. Here?s what Damon told Entertainment Weekly, as quoted in the print mag and transcribed by The Playl We?re hoping to make a fourth, but we don?t have a story and we don?t have a script. I assume it can happen, but we have to come up with a storyline that?s deserving. I mean, if you see the Bourne character come out again and say, ?I can?t remember,? you?re going to get up and leave the theater.leave the theater.

Rappy Veteran Posted August 21, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted August 21, 2009 A fourth film in the Jason Bourne series is still in active development, despite recent speculation otherwise. Last week Matt Damon told Entertainment Weekly that they don?t yet ?have a story and we don?t have a script.? Universal has apparently moved on and hired another screenwriter Josh Zetumer to write what is being described as ?a parallel script.? But what happened to screenwriter George Nolfi, who was brought on to the project in October 2008? Did he not produce anything? Back in April, producer Frank Marshall said that Universal is hoping to have a fourth Bourne movie in theaters for Summer 2011, and that they would have a draft by June. Nolfi was forced to depart from the project to ready The Adjustment Bureau, which goes into production next month. Universal hopes that Nolfi will return to Bourne 4 after Bureau wraps production, although it isn?t clear if the studio will go with one of the two stories or combine drafts. As THR points out, while the practice is somewhat rare, studios have commissioned multiple parallel drafts for past films, usually tentpoles. Examples include Star Trek: Generations, Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer and Wolverine. Some people believe that one of the many reasons Wolverine was such a mess is that they were shooting pages from two completely different drafts of the project. Josh Zetumer broke onto the scene in 2006 with a spec called Villain, which places in the top of the 2006 Black List (a list compiled by industry insiders of the top unproduced screenplays of the year). John Stockwell had become attached to direct. Zetumer also penned a remake of Dune for Peter Berg and The Infiltrator, a Leonardo DiCaprio vehicle based on a Atlantic Monthly article about British intelligence agency spies planted in the Irish Republican Army to monitor terrorist activities. As for the story? Marshall has previously stated that he would like to see Bourne go to South America in his next adventure, which will be the first movie not based on a Robert Ludlum novel.

Rappy Veteran Posted September 11, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted September 11, 2009 There?s been a lot of talk about the projected fourth Jason Bourne movie, and Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass still seem to be heavily considering it as a possible project. But some of the talk is getting into bizarre territory, like the report that Universal is developing parallel scripts. But according to Damon, he hasn?t yet read either script, and we can infer from comments made today that Greengrass hasn?t either. Speaking to Damon at the press conference for The Informant! (a fun, rather touching movie) in Toronto, Collider got Damon on the record about the current state of Bourne. When asked if he?s read the new d Not yet. Paul finished cutting ?The Green Zone? except for some effects. It?s coming out in March. He hasn?t had a break literally since he did ?The Bourne Supremacy? - which is six years ago now. So he was like I need to take a break?so he?s been on vacation for about three weeks and he?s going to take a few more and then he said he?d come to New York and we?d sit down and we?d talk seriously about it.??d talk seriously about it. Here?s the background: Damon will ideally be doing Soderbergh?s Liberace film in the middle of next year, and according to multiple reports [think I first saw that via The Playlist] he?s left fall 2010 open to shoot Bourne 4. If it?s not ready to go by then, could the film be scuttled altogether? Damon is busy these days, so that is possible. So Universal has one draft in hand by George Nolfi, who had input on Bourne 3 and Damon?s current project The Adjustment Bureau. Then there?s another draft being prepped for Uni by Josh Zetumer. Read into that what you will: does Uni hate Nolfi?s draft? Do they want a stockpile of ideas that can be cherrypicked to take advantage of Damon?s availability? Does the interest level of Greengrass come into play? As Damon says, the director has been working solidly for years now. Slash Film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappy Veteran Posted December 1, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted December 1, 2009 Greengrass leaving 'Bourne' franchise? Director Paul Greengrass has reportedly walked away from the fourth Bourne movie due to disagreements regarding the script and budget concerns. Without seeking Greengrass's approval, Universal hired Josh Zetumer to rewrite George Nolfi's screenplay for the next Bourne thriller, reports The Playlist. It is thought that this move as well as Universal's worries over the helmer's budget-management skills contributed to his departure. The price tag on Greengrass's forthcoming Green Zone has apparently swelled to almost $150m (?91m) due to reshoots. The filmmaker directed 2004's The Bourne Supremacy and 2007's The Bourne Ultimatum. Both films starred Matt Damon in the lead role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Natan Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 F*cking idiots, as if the other two Greengrass made didn't make sh*tloads of cash, enough to make them take a chance. But I am almost certain if Greengrass is off the project, so is Matt Damon. They will eventually come to their senses, I just hope it's not too late (other commitments, etc).

chrispinto Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Jason Bourne > James Bond. Bond is a ***** compared to Bourne. He should've been dead after the first movie, but he has all those little gadgets.Seriously though. You "could" say it was like the American version of James Bond, but MUCH more realistic than any Bond movie. Bourne is actually believable as a character. He gets hurt, he stays hurt. He doesn't have any super gadgets to help him out of stuff, just instinct and skill. Did you not watch Casino Royale then?

Leo Natan Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Did you not watch Casino Royale then? (Daniel Craig version) Out of all the recent Bond flicks, Casino Royale is indeed the better of the bunch, but still nowhere near any of the three Bourne films. Even the Bond producers knew that going into Quantum of Crap, trying to "Bournify" Bond (and obviously falling flat, as the action is means to an end in Bourne films, not the main aspect).

Before the third film went into production, there was also crap like this flying, including Matt Damon mocking the script. It turned out to be the best of the three. They just need to get over petty bullsh*t and politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boogerjones Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Yeah there's no book to base the 4th on so a complete new story will be the deal breaker...this has to be the last tho.None of the Jason Bourne movies really followed the books' stories anyway; they had the same title and main character, but the stories were quite different. And there are more Bourne books, but they're continued by a different author because Ludlum is dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
