Matt Damon Says "Bourne" Franchise Might be Rebooted

Posted: February 1st, 2010 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
Matt Damon Says Bourne Franchise Might be RebootedSubmit Comment
Because of his dispute with Universal Pictures, director Paul Greengrass said that he will not return for the fourth Jason Bourne movie. Matt Damon later made a statement that he is sticking by Greengrass and will only reprise his role if his friend reconsiders his exit. So what does this mean for the franchise?

Empire magazine caught up with Damon, who said: "There will probably be a prequel of some kind with another actor and another director before we do another one, just because I think we're probably another five years away from doing it – we've got to get a script."

While Damon could just be speculating, there is a chance that Universal might have threatened to recast him if he doesn't reprise his role. By rebooting the franchise, the studio not only gets rid of demanding actors and director, but also saves a bundle in the process.

Well, if you have a problem with "demanding actors" (a.k.a, actors who actually care about the product and are actually good at acting), then there's always the superior acting pool from Transmorphers, Dragonball: Evolution, and G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra. What could go wrong?

There is a Bourne 4 in progress, its in very early writing stages.
Peter Parker writes:

They rebooted it already. They went for a more sexy version of Bourne, chose a woman for the lead role and "Bourne 4" is now called "Salt".

There is no question that Matt Damon is a good actor. He is also NOT an *sshole. If he wants to stick with the Director that MADE the Bourne movies the masterful hits they are today, GOOD FOR HIM! He has some f*cking integrity in an industry f*cking DEVOID of it! Bourne will SUCK without Damon and Greengrass! As a matter of fact, There IS NO Bourne without Damon and Greengrass!
lawman writes:
on February 1st, 2010 at 11:29:07 AM

PP>>>>SALT? f*ck Jolie ( Yeah I know, you would repeatedly, so would I) but her movies are f*cking TRASH! I have said it before, that c*nt is a one trick pony, lusty, deadly, skanky! I am OVER IT! If anything, she detracted from my enjoyment in Wanted. It was a decent action movie IMO. She is going to f*ck up Wanted 2 also MO.

If only you could read, you'd realize they're talking about both things in the article.
Damon talks about a prequel AND a sequel, while the studio may be considering a reboot.

f*ckING DUUUUH!

Idiot...

I hate this talk of Re-boot when films are only a few years old. Batman was deserving of a reboot but that is about it in recent memory. The Bourne movies were excellent in their own right. Leave them at that and call it a day.
SACdaddy writes:
on February 1st, 2010 at 1:01:38 PM

I like the Bourne movies too, but with each new installment the camerawork got shakier and shakier. Maybe Damon should rethink following this director in hopes that his replacement could deliver the same entertainment without the sh*tty camerawork. Shaky Cam is ruining film!!!

Maaatt Daaamon :-)

Get Bigelow to direct the 4th film. She knows how to deliver action in front of the camera and not WITH the camera.

Therefore i'm glad Joel David Moore reprises his role in the Avatar sequel. Without him, they would have had no choice but to fire Cameron and go for a total reboot.

yea but the only reason damon and greengrass got to do green zone was if they agreed to do another bourne.....and since they left i wouldnt be surprised if green zone doesnt get good promoting

I'm sure everybody that appreciates an educated, and sometimes close to insane, opinion about movies, misses mink around for the discussions too.

Get Tom Cruise to star and also reprise his role as an aged Ron Kovic, and call it. "Bourne of the Fourth of July'.

Or soup-up Kovic's wheelchair and put him in the next Death Race (not the movie... the real death race - people in wheelchairs getting ran over is funny)!

There is nothing that needs "rebooted" about this series. The first 2 Bourne movies were awesome. Maybe they should just make Matt Damon have amnesia again, and then build a Chris Cooper clone to fight him.

Or you know, they could just leave the Bourne movies alone, sit down for 15min and come up with something original...
ohh wait, i forgot Hollywood doesn't make new movies anymore, just re-hashes what i can find at the video store and casts d*ckheads like Zac Effron or Aids Lohan... then make it 3D.

i mean... f*ck!

super idea Matt Damon. let's reboot the Star-Wars series while we're at it, or Avatar, it's been out about month and a half, that's long enough time.

Doug Liman was better than Greengrass, but all 3 movies are f*cking incredible. If they make a Bourne without Damon I'll be saving my money and waiting for the DVD.

Oh, and Greengrass' shakycam is easier on the eyes than Tony Scott's insane camera tricks. Man on Fire was brilliant, but some of the camera work really f*cked me up.

@Ranger - I liked the 3rd one just fine... For some reason the action sequences in the first 2 just stuck with me more. I'll go back and watch the 3rd one again tonight.

There should be a "Porn Identity" trilogy!
And then they should remake that one as many times as they possibly could!

And then do prequels!

And make it in 3D!
