Jason Bourne Goes to South America?

Posted on Wednesday, June 25th, 2008 by Peter Sciretta

Producer Frank Marshall revealed to IESB plans to begin shooting a fourth Jason Bourne movie next Summer, for release in 2010. Universal announced the project back in February, with director Paul Greengrass and star Matt Damon set to return. Marshall also confirmed that they will probably be creating an original story for the fourth film, since author/creator Robert Ludlum wasn’t involved in the later books in the series.

“There was a fourth book written, but it was not by Mr. Ludlum. So we’re probably going to take our own direction and we’re working on what that storyline’s gonna be right now.”

And where will this new adventure bring us? Marshall is predicting that Bourne will journey to “South America.” Watch the full interview on IESB.

    This is AWESOME, i love Bourne and another movie with Matt Damon would be a wet dream!!
  • Cool. That's good news.
  • Antibodies
    The only thing the movies share with the books are the titles. So what would it even matter if Ludlum had anything to do with the 4th book?
  • GregoryV
    taking the film to south america is a great move. many of the cities in south america is so gritty, it'll bring so much character to the film.
  • South America? Is he following James Bond to the Chilean desert?
  • J.D.
    /\ ACTUALLY, I think he's looking for crystal skulls...

    PG & MD make a great film together, but in order to keep this series at the top of its game there's gotta be something really fresh to this fourth film. i think we've gotten all we can - on fil - outta Bourne vs the CIA/FBI etc. i do root for the poor guy, as he's always losing people around him, kinda like a badass harry potter...
  • orange cinema
    on film

    Please go to Brasil Please go to Brasil Please go to Brasil Please go to Brasil Please go to Brasil Please go to Brasil Please go to Brasil

    HA. "we’re probably going to take our own direction". They took their own direction with every movie. the books have an amazing storyline and they completely skipped out on it. I love the bourne movies, but the books just flat out have better stories. Carlos!

    Antibodies is right.

    Also, Frank Marshall must not do research because the rumor is that Ludlum wrote over half (more like 80%) of the 4th book before he died. The other author came in to finish it.

    it would be nice if they finally gave the character an actual mission instead of this horrible cat and mouse concept that's getting really dull...same bad guys ect...
  • Chimaera
    Maybe he'll be in Brasil around the same time Banner was there...I thought I saw him in the background when the Hulk ran by...and I'm totally kidding.

    The good thing is that they didn't wait too long to go with this regardless of how it turns out. I would've hated to see another Bourne a decade or two later and they have to cut back on the action b/c he was too old.
  • Diel
    @ The Dude nice to know there are Daily Show fans out there.

    I don't think they should make the movie if there going to continue in the vein of the last two, i.e. being basically a giant chase with a slightly uninteresting plot.

    I could see if they actually had a good story to measure up to the first one. But you would then have make Bourne's character evolve and not have him stay almost the same the whole movie as in the last two.

    It would also help if you would haven Liman come back or only bring back Greengrass to help with certain action sequences. If Greengrass is to direct the whole thing at least give him clonazepam, so it doesn't seem like he's spasming out every 5 seconds
  • Indiefilm
    Frank Marshall means "Indiana Jones 4 South America" meaning they're going to use computer generated backgrounds throughout.

    "whenever necessary" my ass.

    They should stop with #3. The Bourne Trilogy was great the way it ended.
  • Captain Awesome
    Loved the first film than the other 2. But the third one was good, just wished it had more hand-to-hand combat. Like the rooftop/shower scene.

    2 sucked most of all. Enough with the shakey-cam shit.
  • raymond
    the only big thing on my mind right now is: IS GILROY COMING BACK TOO?
  • WaFFLeS R G00D
    Captain America ftw
  • gocitizen
    I'm thinking Pam Landy is kidnapped and tortured and/or Nicky Parsons takes a bullet. Either way, I wouldn't piss off David Webb.

    Hard to do a 4th film. So few are good. You either have to set it up as a Bond type franchise or kill it off in a good way. You know they aren't going to kill it off, so how can they set up a reluctant hero to stay in the game for more than one?
  • STAXOWAX
    Damon will have to get back into shape following his current incarnation.

    Definitely not f**king Matt Damon!

    Just as long as they bring Julia Stiles back!
    There were some hints of a deeper relationship in Bourne Ultimatum. I want to know what that's all about.

    for real

    the movies are fun and all but they arent anything at all like the books lol
  • bwian
    I feel compelled to point out that they've been taking the series in their own direction since the 2nd movie whos only resemblance to the book was that the main characters name is Jason Bourne
  • Tash
    Does anyone know whether or not Julia Stiles will be in the next movie? I hope she will...Matt Damon and Julia Stiles are the only two people who have been in all 3 movies thus far...I hoe the movie gives us more insight about their relationship. I wouldn't mind it one bit if they were lovers...Waiting for the 4th movie

    Tash
  • Al!
    Brilliant stuff! Pitty about the 2010 est.
  • R
    Bourne should be made into a tv series...forget a 4th movie.
  • spade21
    Can't wait to 2010. This is great news. I feel that Jason has not come full circle yet. I think Nikki can help him with that problem..
  • sonny
    Great idea to bring back Bourne. He and Nikki (Julia Stiles) have unfinished business. We want to know the whole story about them. Remember in Bourne ultimatum, Jason asked Nikki "Why do you help me?", she answered "It was complicated for me with you...". I wanna know what she meant. No matter the subject is, I want Bourne, Nikki and Pamela back.
  • Jackie Treehorn
    The Dude abides......great sequence of movies, can't wait for a 4th movie, Bourne Kicks Ass!!
  • Patricia06516
    If there is another Jason Bourne , he needs to have a real mission. I love this series, but enough already with government trying to take him down!!!
  • m.h karimi
    go on with good work.and Damon good job
  • georgelesteruk
    The Bourne,s are great films, and as long as there are books then there should be films, but Matt Damon should keep up the good work, another actor would be awful. It would be good to see JB really annoyed, maybe it's time to add the Jackel to the forth at least find a character on the same level as JB's skills. There could be some great twists and turns with some clever endings and even a cliffhanger at the end of the forth and a finale on the fifth.

    JB vs Bryan Mills (Lian Neeson - Taken 2008).

    JB would kick the old mans false teeth in.....
