Will the Next Bourne Film Be a Prequel Instead of a Sequel?

Next Bourne film to be prequel?
Next Bourne film to be prequel?
Not much is known about a fourth Jason Bourne film and now Matt Damon reveals that they could be moving in a different direction. Empire recently spoke with Damon, who said that there might be a prequel film with a new cast and crew before a sequel is made.

"There'll probably be a prequel of some kind with another actor and another director before we do another one," he said, "just because I think we're probably another five years away from doing it - we've got to get a script..."


Back in November, director Paul Greengrass dropped out of directing the untitled Jason Bourne film. However, Damon revealed shortly thereafter that he believed Greengrass would eventually return to the franchise.

The Bourne Legacy comes to theaters August 3rd, 2012 and stars Rachel Weisz, Jeremy Renner, Joan Allen, Albert Finney, Oscar Isaac, Edward Norton, Stacy Keach, Scott Glenn. The film is directed by Tony Gilroy.

    Basically people, this means either there is no idea where to take the Bourne story after he begins to expose things, or the studio is putting the breaks on the whole secret assasin going to the media angle. For obvious reasons.

    why does every movie franchise or series want a f*cking Prequel! First it was all about remakes and now Prequels.

    I'd like to see these guys to a prequel. Matt Damon would just have to lose some weight. :)

    Agreed Darktower. "...nuking the fridge." Lol.

    Anyways, the worst thing is this is Universal. Known so well for fully milking franchises. In my opinion more so than Fox.

    A prequel would be cool if it focused on Bourne's rivarly with Carlos (from the books). It wouldn't work with Damon, obviously, but it's better that way. I think the trilogy thus far was wrapped up perfectly and going back in the same manner would be nuking the fridge.

    Agreed. No prequel. Like everything Hollywood, it is unneeded.

  12. The Narrator: The Better Man

    Agreed hands down with Twisted. No prequel, at least not without Damon. I will wait for a fourth installment to stick to the trilogy.

    a prequel is believable but we already saw everything through his flashblacks, whats the point of that?

    a sequel can also be done well, but how the body was not found as he swam away, but what are they gonna do now, the CIA wont start a new program after everyone involved was arrested, doesnt make sense to do so...interesting to see how it plays out

  15. Twisted Smile (The Untold Smile)

    Not really what I was expecting. I rather not have a prequel and just wait for the next chapter in the Bourne saga.
