I’ve enjoyed the first 2 Bourne films (The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy). I haven’t LOVED them, but put together they’ve made more money than the two most successful Bond films. Interesting.
Hollywood is never willing to walk away from a money maker, so just because The Bourne Ultimatum is the last of the books, doesn’t mean it’ll be the last of the movies. As a matter of fact, they’re already talking about 5 in total. The good folks over at Empire give us this:
Bourne producer Frank Marshall told MTV that the series may stretch to “maybe five films…At some point he’s gotta find out who he is”. But ultimately the decision is “up to Matt Damon”. Writers are currently working on potential plotlines.
Why not? If a film franchise is working, making money and is of pretty decent quality, I don’t see any reason not to continue with it. The question is… does Matt Damon think the same?
