When Matt Damon out doing publicity for The Bourne Ultimatum, I heard him mention a couple times that he would definitely do a fourth movie if it were to be an option. He said he really owes a huge boost in his career to those movies. Duh! That trilogy is probably one of the tightest, most solid ones out there and a personal favorite of mine.
Well, now it looks like dreams will come true. In a big announcement about a ton of movies, Universal announced plans for a fourth Bourne movie, with the director and star on board.
Over the next year or so, the full extent of Shmuger and Linde’s slate will be put to the test. The high-profile projects include the George Clooney-directed comedy “Leatherheads,” Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Bruno” (his “Borat” followup), along with movie adaptations of the musical “Mamma Mia!” and the play “Frost/Nixon.” And despite the misfire that was “Miami Vice,” U has enlisted Michael Mann for “Public Enemies,” a period actioner with Johnny Depp as John Dillinger.
The biggest risks are in their efforts at landing new franchises, something that, save for the “Bourne” series, has eluded U for quite some time. “Evan Almighty” was but the latest in a series of disappointments that also include the previous regime’s “Van Helsing” and “King Kong.”
On tap is a fourth “Bourne” movie, but their slate is full of efforts to either launch new franchises or resurrect old ones. The latter group include revivals of “The Mummy,” “Hellboy” and “The Incredible Hulk,” as well as another “The Fast and the Furious.”
And:
More recently, 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. And they landed Sam Raimi to return to horror with “Drag Me to Hell,” starring Ellen Page.
How cool is that? Jason Bourne is better than any Bond (well except the new one) and I’m totally in for seeing another movie. Heck…how about another three movies? What do you think?
And yes, you probably saw another Fast and the Furious is in there too.
