Take a look at the description of the upcoming Bourne movie at: http://news.bbc.co.u...ent/6606249.stm

The buzz: With Oscar nominee Greengrass back behind the camera and Sir Tom Stoppard penning the script, this Universal offering has a stronger pedigree than most. Early trailers promise a lean, explosive thriller in the Casino Royale mould.


It used to be the new Bond movie would be like the Bourne movies, now it's the new Bourne movie would be like Casino Royale! :cooltongue:

I'm in for just two of those sequels: BOURNE 3 and DIE HARD 4. Boycotting the rest.

I'll see 'em all, but I'm only really looking forward to BOURNE ULTIMATUM and OCEAN'S 13.

I'm tired of these comparisons between Bourne and Bond.

It's not very interesting, is it?

Take heart my friend. Ultimatum, and then we're done.

Perhaps they mean the 1967 Casino Royale. :angry: Now that I'd like to see.

Thirteen Jason Bourne's get an ultimatum...

Don't want to think about how that would turn out... :lol: :angry:

Woah... what?! :cooltongue:

I thought the CnB crowd said CR was in the mould of Bourne! Surely not the other way around!

Well by an extraordinary coincidence, the Bourne movie supposedly has free running/parkour in it...

Boycotting, eh? I hope you've gotten clooneynotocean.com and radcliffenotpotter.com up and running! :cooltongue:
Personally I'm only up for Die Hard 4 and maybe Fantastic Four : The Silver Surfer Is In This One. I know its probably not hip to declare that one derived any kind of enjoyment out of Fantastic Four, but I got a lot more out of it than all the fanboy-approved comic book movies like Spider-man 2 (I'll be passing on 3), Sin City, and so on.

On the subject of comparing Bond and Bourne - another interesting similarity is the age of our heroes. Daniel Craig is one year older than Matt Damon - maybe that's the optimum age for a secret agent!
