So what’s the latest on the fourth film in the Jason Bourne series? Last we heard, producer Frank Marshall was hoping to begin shooting next Summer for a 2010 release. Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon have already signed on, all they need now is a script. Today it was announced that Universal is serious about doing a fourth film, hiring George Nolfi to write the script. Not only was Nolfi a co-writer on Bourne Ultimatum, but he also wrote Ocean’s Twelve.
The next film in the series will not even be loosely based on one of the novels, but will instead be an entirely new adventure (with a possible South American [...]

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 [...]

A new TV spot is now online for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and it’s moderately superior to last month’s clunky teaser trailer. The “genius” line between Harrison Ford and a stiff-haired Shia LaBeouf has the kind of smart ass pop that the classic adventure franchise warrants. Also, notice that the scene most snarked at by fanboys in the original trailer, where Indiana Jones fell ass-first into the windshield of a moving vehicle and awkwardly punched out a goon, has been replaced, wisely, by a Steven Spielberg credit. Otherwise, nothing much new here.

/Film Reader Cinemalad sent us a report from just outside the set of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in Pasadena.
/Film was actually the site that broke the news that Spielberg had decided to shoot some additional photography in Pasadena. We posted that report questioning if this was just a simple routine pick-up shot, or part of a set of reshoots. We didn’t pretend to have any information in our posting, and as it turns out, my phone rang and Paramount was on the other end of the line letting me know that it was in fact just a simple exterior pick up shot.
It’s funny that Indy [...]

Might Indiana Jones take down a UFO with a bazooka in this summer’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? Doubtful, but a new image has popped up in the new Empire mag, with co-stars Karen Allen and the emotive kid from Project Greenlight looking hesitant in their awe over Indy’s brandishing the firearm formerly associated with Rambo. The mag also grabbed a nice quote from producer Frank Marshall…
“I would say [Indy IV] is closest to the third one [Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade]. It’s all adults. I mean, you have the sidekick in Shia (LaBeouf), but you don’t have a Short Round and I [...]
