Matt Damon as a spy hero? If you would have asked me that a few years ago, I would have say, yeah f'ing right! As the men of 40 Year Old Virgin put it: "Y'know, I always thought that Matt Damon was like a Streisand, but he's rocking the shit in this one"! I believe The Bourne movies have re-invented the spy genre so much that it has raised the bar on such movies. If you want to make a spy movie, it better live up to this franchise. I also believe the success of the Bond movies, especially Casino Royale is due to the Bourne franchise pushing the envelope. Dark Horizon interviewed producer Frank Marshall and here's what he had to say:
We’d like to shoot next year. It’s trying to get everybody’s schedules in the right place and getting the script right. We’ve done pretty well with these scripts that are pretty loosely put together, but I’d like the script to be really solid this time before we go forward. We’re spending a lot of time on this story.
If this is true, we could see a fourth Bourne movie by summer, or late 2011. Keep it here for more Bourne news.
