Jason Bourne Could Be Re-Bourne In New Movie Series From The Original Series' Producer

Jason Bourne looks likely to return to screens with a new actor and creative team, according to a producer from the original series.

The Bourne franchise, which consists of four films starring Matt Damon as Jason Bourne, amnesiac special agent, could return--but Damon will not be playing the character again. A reboot of the franchise is being planned, and it'll be separate from both those films and the 2012 spin-off The Bourne Legacy, which starred Jeremy Renner.

In an interview with Collider, producer Frank Marshall has discussed plans to bring Bourne back to the big screen with a new creative team. "I do like the Bourne series, and I do think that’s an opportunity for different filmmakers to come in now," he said. "So, I’m hoping that we can find a new story for Bourne and a new filmmaker. We are looking."

While this doesn't necessarily mean that a new Bourne film will definitely happen, planning is, at least, underway

Who would you want to play the new Jason Bourne?

Its going to be "Jane Bourne" for sure and played by Ruby Rose since she quit Batwoman and got some time to spare.

1: Who asked for this?

2: no Shakey can please. Hire an actor that can actually do action on screen so there's less need for quick shakey edits.

Why is this a thing? There is no need for this, all the films are fine, they likely cant do better than whats been done, so whhhhyyy? Make something new. Or pull a much older IP in need of refreshing.


Watch them do a "soft" reboot and have time travel involved (secrete US military time travel machine).

Jesus f’n Christ. The desperation from studios is palpable.

- Mr. Bourne, welc...
- Ma'am, it's ma'am!

Jesus fucking Christ, can’t they come up with some fresh ideas than rebooting a series that I thought technically was still going?

Damon was great as Bourne, there’s no need to reboot it.

She will quit after 1 movie because its too hard

She's on the right track, baby she was born to brave

Could end up being more faithful to the source material, but I really doubt they can cast someone better than Damon. Anyone remember this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bourne_Legacy_(film) (I know not a reboot, but no Damon)

 

[Kenpachii]

Personally what made jason bourne so good was the time period it was in.

Since good looking white men no longer exists....not sure if straight colored men would take up the mantle.

Erm..."men" in the loosest sense of the term.

 

[Skyr]

There were many unnecessary reboots but this one takes the crown. Pathetic hollywood folks.

I enjoyed that movie so I can see a reboot

 

[Nankatsu]

Hollywood looking at the videogame industry and all these remakes and thinking: "Maybe, just maybe, we can do the same?"

 

[SometimeLaterToday]

Jesus Christ, it's Jason Bourne!

 

[Nankatsu]

Regarding Jason Bourne, they could give me a Jason Bourne 2 on next-gen systems.

Jason Bourne PS3/X360/PC was amazing. Very underrated.

 

[Grand Theft Scratchy]

Wow, there are eleven more novels in the series yet to be adapted into movies.

 

[godhandiscen]

Are good new scripts running short or something?

 

[triplestation]

i bet it's chris pine

 

[xrnzaaas]

Are good new scripts running short or something?

It's been happening for at least the last 10 years, but I think the main reason is that it's easier to greenlit a big(ger) budget movie if it's an established franchise.

 

[ValiantTraveler]

Please let the shaky cam die.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Bourne is a combination of power and IQ and we've seen Bourne who isn't Damon and the world collapsed

anyway the reason I am commenting is because I care about watching the next Bourne movie in a beloved franchise.

 

[Renoir]

I'm sure it would be a chick, I this day an age. Hoping for gal Gadot lol

 

[Descent Into Madness]

Meh. I dont think audiences will accept anyone not damon in the role. He made it his.

The renner one made significantly less money.

Bourne trilogy is incredible. Legacy and Jason bourne lost the spark and felt unnecessary.

I also think when Marvel gets around to rebooting they're going to run into problems casting people like iron man and captain america. People wont accept new actors in the roles.

[Classicrockfan]

i wouldn’t mind Rami Malek be the new Bourne.

 

[Ownage]

Why?

This shit just ended. Leave it alone.

 

[Kamina]

They should call it BloodBourne

Agree, though this began with Greengrass, not Liman, and is a directorial tendency. Nauseating as fuck.

 

[GoldenEye Samurai]

They should just continue the series with Damon. He IS Jason Bourne.
