Universal Studios has greenlighted to make a fourth Jason Bourne movie. The three Jason Bourne movies so far are “The Bourne Identity”, “The Bourne Supremacy”, and “The Bourne Ultimatum”. George Nolfi will write the script for the 4th Bourne film.

While the first three Jason Bourne flicks were adapted by the novels written by Robert Ludlum, the fourth one will not be adapted from one of his books, instead the 4th Bourne will be an original story. Director Paul Greengrass will helm the fourth film as he directed the last two (Greengrass didn’t direct “Bourne Identity”), and of course, Matt Damon will reprise his role as Jason Bourne.

Cool. Glad the fourth one will be an original story, not adapted by the book. The story will be more unpredictable that way.

One thing though, while I do hope the next Bourne movie will be action packed all the way through just like “The Bourne Ultimatum” was, I hope the action scenes in the 4th one will be more creative and original. I would like to see more than the typical car chases and the running after the badguys on foot.

Matt Damon sure is on his way in becoming the next generation action hero. He’s no Sly/Arnold but Damon is quickly on his way up there.
