Bourne Four Another Sequel.

Started by Alpha Centauri2 pages

Even if the following books sucked after the original trilogy finished, that's the beauty of book-to-movie adaptations.

You can change things. He did so with the first movies, he'll do so again. Four is probably enough, though.

I think that's the problem with book movies. If there are many in a series, people end up wanting to do them all. Thankfully Damon only wants to work if Greengrass does it, and Greengrass hopefully has enough sense to know when to quit. Then again, four is a weird number. Ultimatum ended perfectly, but now it's open again...so he can either just end the movies with an open end, or make a fifth and risk overkill, but tie it up (Although there are six or more books).

I dunno. I think this'll be Damon's last, and therefore the last Bourne.

I really enjoy these movies, but as good as the third film was it felt as though they were reaching. I'm not trying to say that the series didn't warrant or deserve a third film. I would, however, be skeptical to expect anything other than a bare bones story from a fourth installment. I will still see it if it's made.

How many books are in this series?

I think there are five.

I remember reading somewhere about Damon's comments involving a fourth film (this was shortly after the 3rd installment came out). He said he wanted the franchise to end with #3. If there was a sequal to "Bourne Ultimatum", he joked it would be called the "Bourne Redundancy".

Money talks. He'll blackberry over his signature if he's offered $20m.

Bourne Redundancy., thats make me laugh.,

Indeed.

as far as i know, Bourne series consists of five books (the last was entitled : The Bourne Betrayal).. so The Bourne Legacy won't be the final cut of the series.

I think a great opening scene for the fourth Bourne movie would be Matt Damon sticking a pistol in his mouth and blowing his brains out.

Don't get me wrong, I do like Matt Damon, I'm just sick of these Bourne movies. They all just seem the same to me.

I find Matt Damon a tad "meh" of an affair as it goes, but the real joy comes from watching Bourne economically smash someones face up with a rolled up copy of TIME. That, to me, is entertainment with an e.

I wasn't really into Matt Damon until I saw The Departed, then I began to respect him. But the Bourne movies just don't fascinate me like they do to others.

Maybe they'll wait twenty years and do the fourth one then; just like with the Indiana Jones series. It can be titled THE BOURNE RETIREMENT.

I loved the trilogy, but they can't do more. "Ultimatum" had such a great ending.

-Bourne finally knows who he is.
-Everyone thinks he's dead, giving him ultimate peace from the government.
-Everyone involved is either dead or retired from the work.

Yeah, random scenario: Julia Stile's character is kidnapped by an Islamic terrorist organisation, or maybe Hammas, or the IRA (fianced by the US of course) and calls out for Jason Bourne to rescue, raising suspicon that he is still about,in a video released on the net etc, etc, etc.

Poor example, but it can obviously done, hence why Greengrass and Damon have a greenlight.

Yep. And according to Matt, end is end.
