So there has been some tentative news in the last couple of days regarding the proposed new Bourne films. It seems the rumour is still for two films: One a new Jason Bourne with Matt Damon and Julia Stiles starring and another Aaron Cross sequel to the Bourne Legacy:

 

"Swedish actress Alicia Vikander's will star opposite Matt Damon in the fifth installment of the Jason Bourne movie franchise. No details have been released, but it has been announced that Paul Greengrass is returning to direct the film and is co-writing the screenplay with Christopher Rouse. Julia Stiles is also set to return."

http://au.eonline.co...with-matt-damon

 

"According to Deadline, the upcoming action film has been busy casting, and Stiles is now the first confirmed addition to the call sheet, beyond Damon that is. In addition to directing, Paul Greengrass is also writing the screenplay for Bourne 5, but there isn’t much available in the way of details at this point. The release date is still set for just over a year from now. There has been speculation that Jeremy Renner's Aaron Cross could show up in some capacity. He was supposed to get a follow up to The Bourne Legacy that was going to be directed by Fast & Furious helmet Justin Lin, but that remains up in the air at this point...  The as yet untitled Bourne 5 was recently pushed back a few weeks from its original release date to July 29, 2016, likely to put some space between it and Star Trek 3, which is programmed to open earlier that month."

"Today SlashFilm published an interview with Frank Marshall, producer of the Bourne films. When they asked him how Renner’s character would fit into the planned Matt Damon Bourne movie, Marshall had a single sentence response: 'They’re still two different projects, two different films'."

This one is nothing but a rumour, but an exciting one nonetheless:

 

Variety has apparently reported that Viggo Mortensen has either been offered or is considering the role of a villain in the upcoming Bourne 5. But this is the same article that said shooting is scheduled to commence in July, which seems unlikely at this stage given casting has not been announced and the project itself, while announced, remains not much more than rumour.

I posted news already on this in The Bourne Legacy thread, Emrayfo, but thanks for this! Maybe someone can merge the two threads?  I'm really stoked that Viggo could be the baddie in this and am happy that Julia Stiles is back as Nicky Parsons. I felt that there could be an interesting relationship between her and Bourne that was just hinted at at then end of Bourne Ultimatum.

Maybe better to have an extra thread for this one (or two), instead of keeping the discussion in a thread which is dedicated to an "old" film. Will happen, anyway, with more news emerging, so this one isn't too bad as a starting point  B)

 

Delighted to hear news about a new Damon Bourne. I love it when a "worthy adversary" (the only one, IMHO) is back in the game – competition stimulates the business. Without "Identity" and "Supremacy", the Bond movies might still be floating around in DAD territory, slowly drifting into oblivion...

Sorry Dove, I have seen the Bourne Legacy thread before but had missed your recent posts regarding the new films. I did not think to post this material there because this news wasn't directly related to a discussion of Legacy, and so started a new thread dedicated to the new Bourne films because (as Stromberg says) there didn't seem to be one already. 

 

I definitely share your enthusiasm regarding a possible Viggo casting. And like you I think the potential to develop the relationship between Jason Bourne and Nicky Parsons is a great opportunity that could really add some depth to any new story. am really looking forward to some Damon Bourne action again.   :)

Completely agreed, Stromberg. The Bourne films have been a brilliant action/thriller franchise so far; the only decent spy action series apart from Bond since the Harry Palmer films.

 

The Bourne films re-invigorated the genre. His character epitomises versatile tactical intelligence - apart from the well choreographed action and fight scenes, it is Bourne's ability to think on his feet and adapt to uncertainty that make him such a compelling character. His boundless resourcefulness and ability to improvise in the moment are invigorating to viewers and set him apart from most similar action flicks. 

 

My girlfriend and I recently watched all four extant Bourne series films over one weekend. They worked really well together, even Legacy, and it was a lot of fun.

 

I'm really looking forward to both the forthcoming Aaron Cross and Jason Bourne films.

Can't wait to see it; it should be excellent. I hope they manage to find a story this time, but then the lack of one didn't really hurt Ultimatum! Damon is undeniably a bit older, but I'm sure he can still do it.

So far the only bit of news that has me somewhat excited about BOURNE 5.  Still wish that they were going to continue on with Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz rather than going back to Damon/Greengrass.

I'll believe it when I see it.  I know that they're saying that it's still in development, but given the rather tepid response to it, at least in comparison to the almighty Damon and Greengrass editions (even though IDENTITY is far superior to either ULTIMATUM or SUPREMACY), I could see it ultimately falling by the wayside when it's all said and done, just like Renner's supposed takeover of the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE franchise.

I've never read anything about a purported Renner takeover of M:I? Was this something mooted at the time of GP?
I'd also be more excited about a Viggo confirmation than TLJ.

There was talk prior to GP that, while Cruise was still mending fences with Paramount prior to his casting in GP that that film would serve as Cruise's finale with the franchise and Renner's Brandt would be handed the franchise moving forward. It's certainly possible that those talks were not serious or fell apart at some point, but that sentiment was out there, especially given a lot of the general attitude towards Cruise at the time.

I think it is utterly cracking that 'they' are calling it Bourne 5, even though 'Bourne 4' wasn't really born a 'Bourne' movie.

 

Do we, the Bond glitterati, call SPECTRE Bond 26, even though CR '67 and NSNA weren't really, at the time, official.  (Even though time has enveloped and evolution-ised the officialdom)

 

If Jinx-The Movie had spawned, would we then call SPECTRE, Bond 27?

 

Tomorrow's breakfast will be spent in Thought.

The 4th one was called the Bourne Legacy not Bourne 4, So I expect  number five to have a similar title as the first four installments.

“We always looked at those movies as really about the Bush presidency [at the time] , and so [to do another ] we kind of had to wait for the world to change...

 

Without giving too much of it away, [the new film is about] Bourne through an austerity-riddled Europe and in a post-Snowden world,” Damon said. “It seems like enough has changed, you know? There are all these kinds of arguments about spying and civil liberties and the nature of democracy.”

 

I think these Damon quotes are particularly heartening. It looks as though the production team's approach is rather than just 'do a sequel' and build the plot around, "So, what's happened to Bourne since we last saw him? How can we extend this thing for the sake of it?", they want to have Bourne placed definitively in the contemporary world and responding to situations shaped by that world. Having the next chapter in Bourne's story framed around some of the biggest economic and socio-political issues of the past eight years, rather than just picking up where they left off, is a gutsy move. Pursuing the former should help give the story some frisson and make this guy's personal story more relevant to all of us. Because that latter 'next episode' approach is exactly the kind of the problem that Bourne Legacy had as a film (even though I quite like it) - it was a decent actioner but had no raison d'etre apart from itself.

 

Jason Bourne's story was based on an amnesiac man finding himself, and in the process finding himself as a key player in unraveling a much bigger story of corruption and unauthorised projects supporting unauthorised black ops. By contrast, Aaron Cross' story wasn't even about him in particular, apart from being your bog-standard 'survival/chase' narrative; all the secret project operatives were targeted for elimination and he just happened to be the one who got away. That could have then have been the basis for further exposing the underground programmes, but they didn't really do anything with it. His not wanting to lose his improved intelligence and cognitive abilities achieved through the treatment, rather than the physical abilities per se, was promising however from a character point of view. Maybe they thought the sequel would cover off on that.

 

That said, I remain hopeful for a Cross sequel that does something interesting for that character. And I am a little disappointed we won't see Cross, even in a small cameo, in Bourne 5.

 

“We’re starting in Greece, you know, the beginning of democracy,” Damon said. “And the movie ends in Las Vegas, the most grotesque incarnation of….” [trails off laughing]

 

I can only assume the missing word here is something along the lines of "consumerism" or "commercialism".

Admittedly, I would've preferred it to remain as a trilogy. Ultimatum was a good note to end things on. And I didn't think much of Legacy. But whatever - Damon and Greengrass are a good team, so if the movie is as good as the first three I'm on board.

I hope Damon's character goes in search of his "roots", and now he has to defend not only himself or his girlfriend (as previously), but his long lost brother/sister/mother/father (whoever) from  relatives of Bourne's former victims who are seeking revenge on Bourne by threatening his family.

 

I suppose Bourne's character was thought to have no relatives...but what if he did?  What if he located someone?  Trying to rediscover his humanity.  He tries to reconnect as secretly as possible, but they track him, and go after his family.  Just an idea.

Agreed.  The trilogy was a neatly-wrapped story arc that ended well.  Then, along comes Legacy, which un-wrapped Ultimatum just for the sake of legitimizing itself.  One wonders, after this next outing, if Jason Bourne will continue for 50 years and 6 actors.  Which, I would prefer rather than Aaron Cross and his meds.

Matt Damon was once again on Graham Norton's (UK TV Chat Show host) show last night.

 

While speaking mostly about The Martian, he did say that he was now doing the next James Bourne film...

 

Which was hilarious.  He did mention that Jason Bond was doin' ok too.
