The Hollywood Reporter is, well, reporting that Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass are in talks with Universal to bring back Jason Bourne!
This has been rumored for a while but everyone involved has always denied and deflected any discussion of a return to what the original trilogy so great. What makes me excited about this possibility is that Greengrass will be involved in writing the script as well as directing. Greengrass had no part in writing the original trilogy, but was given the reins in directing The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum (that is parts #2 and #3, for the Bourne-challenged readers). The talented Tony Gilroy wrote the screenplays for the all of the Bourne films so far, as well as directing the last one, The Bourne Legacy.
So far, Damon and Greengrass as just in talks, so it looks like we are still a bit away from a full green light on the project. I'm not big on reboots, non-essential sequels, and uninspired formula films, but if this goes through, and I see no reason why it wouldn't, the billion dollar franchise that is Jason Bourne could be well on its way to reigniting my love for the action film!
Our fingers are crossed!
