Damon Spills Bourne 5 Beans

We have a new Bourne movie coming up with Matt Damon again.  While many who follow manlier movies don’t like those movies much, I kinda dig the cynicism and one man war against western intelligence services.  So even with this series being the genesis of contemporary spaz-cam, there is a certain value with them.  Filming on the fifth movie is on a break for Christmas… I guess, I wonder if the even celebrate Christmas now.  And Damon has been jawing with reporters on the movie.

“We’re, like, probably about halfway through. We started in September but they’re going dark for most of December and cutting basically the first two acts. And then we have the third act and then whatever we owe from the first two acts…We were in Tenerife, which is supposed to be Athens. It would be like a nighttime riot scene to kind of start the movie. And then England, Berlin a little bit for about a week, and a little bit in D.C. Then we’re going to Vegas for the third act… Big car chase on the strip.”

Whilst Damon couldn’t offer any new story details, he does talk about the on-screen time frame;

“You’ll find the character – like “The Bourne Ultimatum,” the third act actually in the movie dovetails with the third act of “The Bourne Supremacy.” So technically when the Bourne character disappears, it’s still 2004. So when this next one comes out in 2016, it will have been 12 years – in movie years – that the character as been off the grid. So what’s happened in those intervening years gives you a story.”
