I know I have already
talked about this before, but a fourth
'Bourne' movie without Matt Damon is very real. There's a long list of rumored actors (about 8-10). But three names keep coming up across the internet-sphere.
/slashfilm mentions three big names in the running. Let's look at them now:
Jake Gyllenhaal:
Hmm, I'm conflicted. I don't like his acting whatsoever, I've pretty much
hated him in everything I've seen,
except Prince of Persia. That's why I'm conflicted. The 'Bourne' films need a good dramatic actor ala Matt Damon. We need to see his confusion, his desperation. BUT, Bourne may not even be the main character. The sequel has only promised to be in the same world as Jason Bourne. So maybe Gyllenhaal could pull it off?
Tobey Maguire:

| He could totally be Gyllenhaal's twin |
My absolute favorite of the trio here. I feel like he needs to do something to shed that goody goody Peter Parker persona. This film/franchise could do just the trick! He has the dramatic chops, we've seen it. He has the action background of the Spider-Man franchise, he is a real talent. His body may not fit the world the way Damon's did, but he could make it work.
Garrett Hedlund:
Why? Why am I even writing about this guy? He totally stunk up the screen in Tron: Legacy and
I hated every aspect of his acting in that film. Why would I want to see him replace one of the greatest actors of my generation (Damon) in one of the most critically acclaimed action trilogies in history? The answer is I don't want to see him get the role, period.
It's my opinion, you're on my blog so you obviously care, or you're just curious. Feel free to drink some Haterade in the comments. Who of these three should get the role? Or maybe it's not any of these three, what do you think?
Click the jump for a little extra. (SOILER ALERT TO
BOURNE ULTIMATUM)
You know who they should bring back,
Édgar Ramírez! His character of Paz in
The Bourne Ultimatum was incredible! He demanded our attention on the screen and held is own against Damon.
SPOILER ALERT: Jason Bourne doesn't kill Paz in the film, he spares his life. So why not continue the franchise with a revenge-filled Paz seeking to clear his name and start a new life? The producers can leave the door open for Damon to return to the franchise, and fulfill their wish of staying within the confines of the 'Bourne' world. What do you think?
