Matt Damon Talks THE BOURNE 4

Real quick now, if you’re wondering if there’s any significant development with the fourth installment of BOURNE franchise, the answer is not much. Collider had a brief chat with Matt Damon after the press junket for his latest movie The Informant, when asked if he’s read any script drafts for THE BOURNE 4, his reply was that it all depends on director Paul Greengrass‘ availability…

Not Yet. Paul finished cutting “The Green Zone” except for some effects. It’s coming out in March. He hasn’t had a break literally since he did “The Bourne Supremacy” – which is six years ago now. So he was like I need to take a break…so he’s been on vacation for about three weeks and he’s going to take a few more and then he said he’d come to New York and we’d sit down and we’d talk seriously about it.

Last we heard on this, the studio hired scribe Josh Zetumer to write THE BOURNE 4 because George Nolfi (The Sentinel) who has written the initial script is forced to retreat from BOURNE universe due to the fact that he’s also attached to writing another thriller titled THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU also starring Matt Damon which has started production September. This strategy is called a parallel script. Universal will have 2 possible stories, which are not based on Ludlum’s stories anymore, to combine because the stdio still wants Nolfi back to BOURNE after he’s done with THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU.
Damon also said that he’s got an opening in his schedule in 2010 to make THE BOURNE 4 movie if everything comes together.
