Matt Damon was initially adamant that the recently released BOURNE ULTIMATUM would be the last time he'd portray the titular ruthless amnesiac superspy. He then started saying that maybe it wouldn't be so bad to once again duke it out with nameless thugs in international locales and if director Paul Greengrass was up for it, he'd probably, maybe be up for it too. Now, it seems, after perhaps Universal threw barrels upon barrels of money at him, he and Greengrass will be back continuing Bourne's quest to regain his memory (Jesus, how much time does this guy need to get his memory back?!). In an article in Variety outlining the future of Universal Studios, they mention the following: "More recently, Shmuger and Linde landed Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon for a fourth "Bourne" movie, even though the director and star seemed ready to wrap it up after three pics." So, it's not really "on" per se but it's getting there and if Damon and Greengrass are locked, you bet your ass Universal will do everything in its power to fast track this bad boy.

Extra Tidbit:
Anybody read the books that came after the initially trilogy, "The Bourne Legacy" and the Bourne Betrayal"?

Unfortunately, I bought and read both of Eric van Lustbader's crappy Bourne books. Legacy was better than Betrayal, but not by much. The books are filled every b-action movie cliche. The man should strung and quartered for such idiocy, and whoever from the Ludlum estate that figured that he might be a good writer to sell the Bourne rights to.
