The Bourne Ultimatum 2006!

Look what on www.darkhorizons.com today.
Se hvad jeg fandt på www.darkhorizons.com idag, nice!
Glæder mig!

'The Unsomnambulist' attended a screening of "The Bourne Supremacy" last night at Arclight Cinemas that was followed by a Q & A with producer Frank Marshall. Here's his report:

"Nothing terribly new and surprising to come of it. Frank was adamant that "Indiana Jones 4" would happen, and mentioned that "The Bourne Ultimatum" was currently being writter for a 2006 shoot start, since Matt Damon is busy til then, as is director Paul Greengrass who'll return after helming the "Watchmen" comic adaptation.

Frank also said he would be directing again soon, a true story about Japanese explorers in Antarctica and their sled dogs they had to abandon"

Thanks again to 'The Unsomnambulist'.
Looking forward to this!

Cool. I was ready for another one as soon as the credits started rolling on 'Supremacy.'

And I'm sure Greengrass will finish the series w/ a little bit of Moby.

Sounds like shooting starts in 2006. Has a projected release date been put out there?

I wanted to like Supremecy, but couldn't stand that jump cut shooting style. Hopefully, he'll direct the next a little differently.

Couldn't have said it better. Damon rocks as Bourne. Hopefully they figure out a way to bring back Julia too.

Loved the first two, I'll look forward to the third.

Wish it was coming out sooner though!

At the risk of inciting a riot I'll say that the camera work didn't bother me a bit and look forward to the next Bourne!!

The first two were great, hopefully this one will live up to them.

I really liked the first two, so a third installment would be great. I have never been a big fan of "spy" flicks but the Bourne movies so far have been very entertaining. Plus Matt Damon does an excellent job in the role.

The jittery hand-held camera was not nearly as noticeable on dvd as it was in the theater.

It actually makes an episode of The Shield look like it was filmed by an epileptic having a seizure.

For some reason, I never picked up on the jittery camera work in the theater.

Good news. I thought "Supremacy" was better than "Identity", and hope "Ulitmatum" continues the trend.

I'm happy to hear this as well and hope it doesn't go awry before then. The last Boune movie had such a neat European flair you normally don't see in present day movies and Damon has really made this part his own.

Of course, the Bourne movies are based off the Bourne trilogy by Robert Ludlum. The books are titled, oddly enough:
The Bourne Identity
The Bourne Supremecy, and
The Bourne Ultimatum

i hope it will be better then the second, along with the editing, not much happened. i bet 15 minutes could be cut from just people walking into and out of buildings and/or cars.

That's because you sat a proper distance away from the screen.

Matt Damon Wants To Be Bourne Again

http://www.zap2it.com/movies/news/st...-26616,00.html

Wed, Aug 24, 2005, 04:08 PM PT
By Daniel Fienberg

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com)- Universal Pictures views Matt Damon's Jason Bourne franchise as currency. The 2002 "Bourne Identity" made more than $120 million at the domestic box office and the 2004 sequel "The Bourne Supremacy" did more than $175 million. If the studio had its way, there would be a different movie about the spy with amnesia every summer.

Interestingly, Damon also views the blockbuster movies as currency. The Oscar-winning screenwriter knows that every time he does an "Identity," he can do a "Gerry" and that every time he does a "Supremacy," he gets the extra power to do something like his latest, the Terry Gilliam fairy tale film "The Brothers Grimm." The "Bourne" films have done for him what ambitious duds like "The Legend of Bagger Vance" and "All the Pretty Horses" couldn't. Does that mean that Damon sees another sequel on the horizon somewhere?

"Yeah, off in the middle distance somewhere," he says. "I keep doing movies like with Terry Gilliam, I just wrapped one with Scorsese ["The Departed"], I'm going to do this run of movies and then, if I flame out in all of them, I'll do another Bourne movie [and] buy myself a few more years."

Damon's upcoming slate isn't exactly loaded with obscure indies like the walking-and-dying-in-the-desert drama "Gerry." He'd got "The Departed" with Leonardo DiCaprio, this winter's "Syriana" with George Clooney," the Robert DeNiro-directed "The Good Shepherd" with Angelina Jolie and he's rumored to be attached to "Margaret" from Kenneth Lonergan. None of those films, though, is the sure thing that "The Bourne Ultimatum" will be, whenever it gets made.

Although screenwriter Tony Gilroy is the only confirmed participant for "Ultimatum," Damon insists that Paul Greengrass, who earned rave reviews for his work on "Supremacy," is interested in a return.

"There's no reason the third one shouldn't be the best of all of them," he says optimistically. "That would be the only way to kind of come back and do it, is not just to milk the cash cow, but to make it a proper kind of trilogy and finish it on a great note so that people look back and say, 'You know what, that was a f***ing kick-ass three-movie trilogy there.' It's not something I would want to do forever, you know."

He continues in an Old Man voice, "I'm Jason Bourne! Get off my land."

Damon has never seemed particularly interested in maintaining the image of a prototypical studio leading man and even with a signature franchise to his credit, it doesn't sound like he's ready to start being safe.

"It's gonna go away anyway, so you kind of take your shots and make stuff that you can be proud of, that you can kind of look back and say, 'Yeah, that was an amazing experience, I learned a lot, I took a big swing, you know?'" He explains. "I think that's kind of the healthiest way. I think when you see people... that look at their careers like, they get some success and then they protect it like a beachhead. They just sit there, 'Don't take this away from me!' And they make really safe, boring choices. And eventually it goes away anyway. Scared money never wins."

"The Brothers Grimm" opens on Friday, Aug. 26.

Huh. I never knew there was such a thing as a "three-movie trilogy" before.

I was hoping for something more concrete from the article but I guess it's good Damon is still interested. He was great in the first two but I'd rather not see Paul Greengrass return as director. I hated his convulso-cam approach to the whole picture (this effect only worked well in the chace scene) and it's obvious that they were making up the fights as they went along. Doug Lyman's work on the first film was a lot more polished (without seeming like a glossy spectacle) so I'd rather he return or another director altogether helm the third film.
