Will a Fourth Bourne Film Happen?
By Laura Aguirre
If you were hoping to see Jason Bourne roaming around the silver-screen sometime soon, you’re in for a long wait. Collider reported that Matt Damon was asked about the fourth installment while promoting his History Channel special The People Speak, and what he said is somewhat of a bubble-buster for fanatics.
Keep reading to check out the heartbreaking news.
“None of us have kind of seen the script yet and Paul Greengrass is still cutting a movie that we worked on.”
Enough said Damon, we get it. There you have it folks, the star of the franchise himself hasn’t seen a script from new writer George Nolfi, who was reportedly hired by Universal to write the fourth script. Perhaps no one was happy with the rough draft, or everyone is too busy with other projects? Either way, it seems that another installment of the Bourne franchise will take a while.
Just in case you’re a big Damon fan, you can catch him in theaters October 9th as Mark Whitacre in The Informant.
Are you eager for a another Bourne?

Let's think about this for a minute. Do we want to see true acting talent on the screen, or do we want to rush to the theaters and watch him doing a fourth BOURNE. If there is a fourth BOURNE, believe me, it will be all about the money, not about good acting with a good script. Like many true cinema lovers, I find it far more interesting to see Damon explore his full range of talents. That is why RIPLEY was so amazing and why so many people are excited to see him play Mark Whitacre in the upcoming Soderbergh film, THE INFORMANT!. And I found out Whitacre is a real person when I googled him and came up with http://markwhitacre.com. Interesting real human being played by one of the most interesting real actors of our age. Matt has 5, yes 5, films coming out this year, and my guess is THE INFORMANT! could win him an Oscar because he so totally transforms himself into the young executive Mark Whitacre, a national hero according to the FBI,

I love the Bourne series, but I wouldn't want it to be forced. Oh well, the trilogy is enough for me right now.

You're right, it's always about the money. I was never a huge fan of Bourne, but when I saw The Informant trailer, I was blown — it looks different and good, and he looks different and good. And yes, he should explore other talents because he already is great, but can be greater — thrillers can only do so much if you ask me.
