The Bourne trilogy, as we know it, is what made Matt Damon an action star for our generation. The first film was directed by Doug Liman and the next two installments directed by Paul Greengrass. The series was later rebooted with Jeremy Renner in the lead. Matt Damon was supposed to return to the famous role, but relations between Universal and Greengrass soured. Matt has said that “he will only return to the character if Greengrass returns.”
“From what I understand, ‘The Bourne Legacy’ relives ‘The Bourne Ultimatum’ from a different perspective. Because they use ‘Ultimatum’ actors and characters, that means that we would have to continue a story that wasn't our creation and we’d have to acknowledge that in any Bourne movie that we’d do. And that makes it really tough.” - Matt Damon Movieline quote.
I might be in the minority here, but I’m not a huge fan of the Greengrass directed Bourne films. Watching them is like getting drunk without alcohol because of the shaky camera shots. In Cam Sky’s perfect world, Doug Liman would announce that he is the director of a new Jason Bourne movie. I absolutely love the first film! If Liman would return to the series it would be a dream come true. I’m not saying Greengrass’s films are bad, they are just driven by action packed, thriller sequences. Maybe not for everyone but, they do have great turnouts for each new release. So, who can blame them. I haven’t seen the Bourne Legecy with Jermeny Renner in the starring role, because the reviews didn’t look too great.
I think these films are due for a re-visit!
