Report: Robert Deniro wants “The Good Sheperd” to be a trilogy…

While Robert Deniro is weighing in on the SAG strike, he confirmed the news that he wants to do two more sequels from “The Good Sheperd” film making it a trilogy. “The Good Shepherd” is a CIA Cold War film that starred Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie, and Alec Baldwin. It looks as though Deniro wants to continue the Edward Wilson story and wants Matt Damon to play the character still. So expect this to be Matt Damon’s “third” trilogy series with “The Jason Bourne” trilogy and the “Oceans” trilogy being the others.

Quote from article:

Turning to more professional issues, De Niro said he would like to make two sequels to CIA Cold War drama “The Good Shepherd” — one bringing the action forward from 1961 to 1989, the other following its hero, Edward Wilson (Matt Damon), up to the present day.

Although he is not working on research for the concluding parts of the hoped-for trilogy, De Niro said being in central Europe offered a good opportunity to begin thinking about the material.

“I had not been planning to do research on that while here, but it is a good idea,” he said.

Glad he wants to make it into a trilogy ’cause the ending to “The Good Shepherd” did seem to leave open for more movies. I enjoyed “The Good Shepherd” ’cause I’ve seen it in theater when it first came out.
