[Live Free or Die]

Oh yeah!

Back in September, Deadline.com reported that Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass would return to the Jason Bourne franchise for a new film, the duo's third Bourne film together and Damon's fourth as the character overall. On Friday, Damon confirmed the news to E! Online.

"Yes, next year," Damon told E! about when the new Bourne film will begin production. "It'll be in 2016 when the movie will actually come out. Paul Greengrass is going to do another one and that's all I ever said. I just needed him to say yes."

That's true. Damon had long said he would only reprise his role in the franchise if Greengrass returned as well.

"I've always been open to it if Paul Greengrass is the director," Damon said to CNBC in May of this year. "We've just never been able to come up with a story."

What a time to have been born.

 

[EdibleKnife]

This is taking place in space, right?

 

[Nokagi]

But what about Hawkeye?

 

[Mononoke]

Well, considering some of the movies he's been in, I think it's time to go back doing what he was good at it.

 

[Slayven]

Maybe we will get another Bourne game, that shit was great.

 

[Live Free or Die]

But what about Hawkeye?

According to the original Deadline.com report, Renner's Cross likely won't be involved in the Damon film, but a sequel to "The Bourne Legacy" with Justin Lin set as director is still in development. Damon's movie, meanwhile, is set for a July 16, 2016 bow.

[Altairre]

Maybe it won't be as awful as the last Bourne movie.

 

[Nokagi]

.

=(
I wanted a team up.

 

[iMax]

Fuck. Yes.

 

[statham]

.

This is going to be like when we had two James Bond movies going at the same time.

lol nah

 

[Joni]

Poor Jeremy Renner. Cruise won't ever leave Mission Impossible and now Damon is stealing Bourne back from him. At least he still has Marvel.

 

[danthefan]

Fuck. Yes.

I concur. Love those films.

 

[Altairre]

Watch him die in Age of Ultron.

 

[Bold One]

YASSSS!

 

[strafer]

I wouldnt mind a Renner and Bourne Team up.

 

[ShadowKingpin]

Yes!!!! This has totally made my day.

 

[jett]

.

hahaha why even bother

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Apparently greengrass is also writing the script. I find that interesting, especially since he considers the Bourne franchise his now.

I just wonder how they figured out a script, unless it takes place after legacy.

Hopefully it isn't as shitty as Green Zone. What a pile of shit that movie was.

 

[Metroidvania]

I'm honestly confused on where a Damon Bourne film would go, given their deviation from the books.

Obviously, there's always some new black-ink agency brainwashing people to be assassins to go after, but I'm wondering how they'll avoid the 'been there done that', especially after 3 films and a spin-off.

 

[BronsonLee]

Dear Justin Lin:

You fucked up

Yours,
Universal

 

[Maintenance]

Yes, loved the first ones.

my guess is that it takes place where legacy left off. I can guarantee you that. Joan Allen was contacted on reprising her role. My bet is that

Spoiler

landy goes to prison, Bourne rescues her, which leads to something.

I just hope we get more international locales. I hated how legacy took place in America for the most part.

 

[Joni]

Watch him die in Age of Ultron.

Or his scenes deleted.

 

[MartyStu]

Watch him die in Age of Ultron.

If only.

I want Hawkguy, not the monstrosity we see on screen.

 

[Pochacco]

On the one hand, awesome. Absolutely LOVED the first 3 Bourne movies (Renner's wasn't that bad imo..).
On the other hand, I thought the ending to Ultimatum was perfect. Perfect closure.

 

[Mammoth Jones]

I've enjoyed all the Bourne movies so I'm excited for this.

 

[Grisby]

First one has yet to be topped. Greengrass did the last two right (not taking in legacy)? Christ, I hope he tones down the shaky cam and quick cuts for this one.

Course that last flick he did with Tom Hanks was supposed to be alright so hopefully he brings it here.

 

[Newlove]

Yes! The rumour really excited me last time so it was sad when that was shot down. This is glorious, can't wait.

 

[milquetoast]

Elysium damaged his career so it's time to get back to making big bucks the only way he can.

Are you crazy?! Ultimatum is by far the best, an all time classic, in my top 10 best action movies of all times.

And the bike jump in that movie was a world record.

 

[liquidtmd]

'But Im desperate to see what the magnetism of Renner could have lead to in the franchise' - said no-one ever

Spoiler

and I actually dont find him that bad, just not compulsive

 

[Alpende]

Aww yiss, hope they don't go overboard with the shaky cam though.

 

[stn]

Yes!!! Glad to hear there won't be a team up, I have a feeling it would be very cheesy. Would be great if the movie could be featured mostly in Europe, again. In terms of story? Check out the novels that have been published, there are soooooooo many paths for the movie to take.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

If only.

I want Hawkguy, not the monstrosity we see on screen.

 

[Xrenity]

Fuck yes.

 

[Maninthemirror]

He needs to lose a lot of weight based on when I last saw him in a film

 

[Deku Tree]

Fantastic!!! Can't wait!!!

 

[jelly]

I'm going for 'Bourne Conspiracy'

Good to read Greengrass is back but Identity is still the best one.

 

[RyudBoy]

Awesome. Glad it's confirmed.

 

[Mario]

Even as far back as Elysium he was looking bulkier than you'd expect for the Bourne character. And he is even more chunky in Interstellar as you mention.

 

[Big_Al]

I agree with Grisby, the first film is by far and away the best and I'd take Doug Liman as a director any day over Greengrass. Not a fan of his style at all.

 

[rokkerkory]

awesome!!! hawkeye vs bourne?

 

[firehawk12]

Wait, does that mean Lin is out?

I don't mind, because Greengrass/Damon is great.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Poor Jeremy Renner. Cruise won't ever leave Mission Impossible and now Damon is stealing Bourne back from him. At least he still has Marvel.

If Legacy hadn't been so dull and uninteresting, maybe Damon wouldn't have been able to steal Bourne back.

I'm glad he's back though.

 

[Freewheelin']

Poor Jeremy Renner. Just Hawkeye roles now for him.

Where's that Renner Sunhi gif when you need it?!

 

[Grisby]

Are you crazy?! Ultimatum is by far the best, an all time classic, in my top 10 best action movies of all times.

Nope. I think the first movie is the best directed one. The escape from the police, the car chase scene, and Damon facing Owen in that field is great.

 

[the black pearl]

I'm not a huge of Renner. I dont dislike him but I also see him as much of a lead. My favorite performance of his is probably The Town, thats the only film I loved his performance in.
