Bourne 4 update
Universal is moving forward on the next Jason Bourne picture
from Reuters: Latest "Bourne" film lands scribe LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Josh Zetumer has signed on to pen the fourth installment of the "Bourne" movie series, writing what is being described as a parallel script to one that was written earlier. George Nolfi, who worked on "The Bourne Ultimatum" for Universal, had come back for the fourth entry in the action series. He also signed on to write and direct "The Adjustment Bureau," an adaptation of a Philip K. Dick short story that reteams him with "Bourne" star Matt Damon. But as that movie nears its September start date, Nolfi had to step away from "Bourne." Not wishing to slow development and keen on making "Bourne" part of its 2011 slate, Universal hired Zetumer to write a new script. It's unclear whether Zetumer's draft will be integrated with Nolfi's. "Our hope is that Nolfi, a key member of the 'Bourne' team, will return after he is done with 'The Adjustment Bureau,'" a Universal spokesperson said. Zetumer's screenwriting credits include "Dune," for director Pete Berg and Paramount, and Warner Bros.' "The Infiltrator," to which Leonardo DiCaprio is attached to star.

 Now if it's just a new draft and none of this "parallel" nonsense, I'm okay with it.

Re: Bourne 4 update
As long as Greengrass and the cast are back, I'm all for it.
Would be cool to do what, IIRC, was a Ludlum novel where Bourne was "grown-up" and living a new life in the US and the past came back to haunt him. It would be cool to set the new movie 5+ years after the last one. |

Re: Bourne 4 update
Looks like X-Men Origins: Wolverine used one too. It's too bad that they have to do that just because Universal wants a tentpole up by 2011.
Can't blame them though. That's the only damn franchise they have.  |

If only Serenity had been a hit.

Of course, Universal's non-marketing campaign was to blame for its box office failings.
