Bourne Identity Movie: Another 'Bourne' Movie On 2016? Matt Damon Is Open To Reprise His Role As Jason Bourne

| By

Bourne Identity series based on Robert Ludlum's novels was a box office hit in all its franchise movies.

The three installments were among the highest grossing films. The 2002 installment, "The Bourne Identity", grossed $121 million; while it's sequel 2004's "The Bourne Supremacy", grossed $176 and 2007's "The Bourne Ultimatum", which grossed $227 million.

Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass collaboration is a great tandem and the reason of Matt Damon's Bourne trilogy.

After 7 years, Jason Bourne will come back and challenge all the James Bond Movies today. From a report from 'Entertainment Weekly' and 'US Today' Damon and Paul Greengrass are reuniting for another "Bourne" film!

According to an interview with Matt Damon in May, "I've always been open to it if Paul Greengrass is the director," the actor told CNBC. "We've just never been able to come up with a story... It felt like such a good way to end it last time. Having said that, I love that character. I'd love to see what happened to him."

Yes, there is a possibility of a new Bourne Movie and Jason Bourne will be reprised by Matt Damon again. Following the unsuccessful latest franchise 'The Bourne Legacy' that stars Jeremy Renner

'Deadline' also confirms this rumor. According to its statement.

"Jason Bourne is coming back. Universal Pictures has begun making deals with Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass to reunite for their third film in The Bourne Identity series, sources tell me. This is an absolute stunner - and Universal would not comment nor would the reps - because Greengrass told Deadline as recently as last year that once Bourne regained his memory, there was no place else for the character to go creatively. His search formed the spine for the trilogy Damon starred in."

"Well, they've figured it out. I'm told that the studio is so bullish on this that the intention is to make the reteam the next Bourne film to go into production to make the July 16, 2016, release slot that Universal had previously assigned to an untitled Bourne film. That means it would step in front of the spinoff sequel that is to reprise Jeremy Renner and be directed by 'Fast & Furious' architect Justin Lin. That film, which began with the Tony Gilroy-directed The Bourne Legacy, remains in development. I thought its premise- Renner plays one of several genetically altered assassins, all of whom are targeted for death - was smart and satisfying on its own. Universal intends to continue that series and to broaden its franchise base, much the way that Marvel cranks out superhero films. 'The Bourne Legacy' was a good start to a new franchise, but Jason Bourne is a hard act to follow. Now, franchise-hungry Universal has both of them."

Though news has been sprawling around now. Threre is no official statement from Universal yet and Matt Damon nor Paul Greengrass confirmed the news.
