Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill are going to star in that one, and Captain Phillips scribe Billy Ray has penned the script. It started with The Bourne Identity, which was a great action spy story with a fantastic hook.
#WILL THERE BE ANOTHER JASON BOURNE SEQUEL MOVIE#
Damon next stars for Ridley Scott in The Martian, and Greengrass has several projects percolating, most recently circling at Fox The Ballad Of Richard Jewell, the story of the security guard at the Atlanta Olympics who uncovered a suspicious backpack and cleared the crowd away from a park before it exploded, only to be vilified as a possible terrorist in the advent of the 24-hour news cycle. The Bourne Trilogy is one of my favourite movie series of all time.

Even though I could not get corroboration, I am confident enough to say that, probably very soon, these deals will all be done and that fans will be pretty happy to have Bourne back.
I saw The Equalizer as it premiered in Toronto, and it reminded me of The Bourne Identity, in that both are sophisticated adult thriller franchises where the protagonists are capable of high-action exploits but aren’t running around in spandex.

Now, franchise-hungry Universal has both of them. The Bourne Legacy was a good start to a new franchise, but Jason Bourne is a hard act to follow. Universal intends to continue that series and to broaden its franchise base, much the way that Marvel cranks out superhero films. I thought its premise- Renner plays one of several genetically altered assassins, all of whom are targeted for death - was smart and satisfying on its own. That film, which began with the Tony Gilroy-directed The Bourne Legacy, remains in development. That means it would step in front of the spinoff sequel that is to reprise Jeremy Renner and be directed by Fast & Furious architect Justin Lin. Matt Damon a man of few words in new Jason Bourne film Perhaps the fact he’s as monosyllabic as Arnie circa 1986 suggests that there’s really nothing more to say. 'It's just big, with a massive second unit,' Damon added. For Jason Bourne, filming began in September 2015 and didn't finish until March, making it a seven-month shoot. 'Those things are a massive undertaking,' he added (via Cinemablend). I’m told that the studio is so bullish on this that the intention is to make the reteam the next Bourne film to go into production to make the July 16, 2016, release slot that Universal had previously assigned to an untitled Bourne film. Series star Matt Damon told The Hollywood Reporter that no new Jason Bourne movie is in the works right now. His search formed the spine for the trilogy Damon starred in. This is an absolute stunner - and Universal would not comment nor would the reps - because Greengrass told Deadline as recently as last year that once Bourne regained his memory, there was no place else for the character to go creatively. Universal Pictures has begun making deals with Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass to reunite for their third film in The Bourne Identity series, sources tell me.
