Jason Bourne.

EXCLUSIVE: 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.

Hopefully this time the rumor is true. I didn't think the Bourne legacy was bad but not as good as the first three.

I have to admit I've never quite gotten the appeal of the Bourne movies.  Maybe they're just not my thing.

 

What is it that fans love?

 

It was a great set of movies for fans of suspense and thrillers like me. I know that they seem more like action movies to a lot of people, but the story arc was very different from a typical action movie. Action movies are generally "get the bad guy" whereas Bourne was "who is the bad guy, and for that matter, who the hell is this main character/protagonist?" There was a lot of mystery, and that was appeal to me.

I hope they include Renner. Even though his movie wasn't the greatest I hate hate when franchises blatantly ignore a chapter of the series.

 

Tokyo Drift syndrome?

 

So Bourne fans, tell me, what's the basic story on Bourne?  What is he?  Who is he?  Why should I like these movies?

 

Don't worry about spoilers for me (though you might wanna tag them as such for others).  Spoilers don't necessarily deter me from seeing something.

Sorry for being a little confused but didn't they already come out with 3 Bourne movies? The article says they're agreeing to the third film.

 

Identity, Supremacy and Ultimatum?

The third film with Paul Greengrass as director. The Bourne identity was directed by someone else. Damon has said he wouldn't return without hilm

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
