Two Bourne Movies Shooting Next Year?

By Guest Column on October 11, 2014

Will two Bourne movies actually shoot next year? Matt Damon has always said that he would not return to the “Bourne” series unless director Paul Greengrass did the same. Paul Greengrass has always said that “The Bourne Ultimatum” was his last movie in the series, as creatively he felt there was nowhere else to go. That has changed with the recent update.

Universal Pictures is currently in the process of making deals for both Damon and Greengrass to reunite on another Bourne picture—their third together. Moreover, Universal is so bullish on this prospect that the plan is to have this ready in time for release in 2016.

Greengrass will also write the script for Bourne 5.

So it looks like Damon will shoot another Bourne movie next year. But this week Jeremy Renner (video below) also says the same thing. “They’re still writing. That happens probably next summer. Yeah, next summer we’ll be shooting that.” Doesn’t make sense, unless of course it’s a crossover movie. I would hazard a guess though that Greengrass Damon will want (and get) a solo movie.
