Matt Damon was recently interviewed while on the PR trail for his newest flick, The Green Zone, and one of the questions asked of the actor was his future involvement with the Bourne franchise.
While the suspense, action-thrillers all but gave him a career in the genre, Matt says he is done with the series for good and plans to never return. He did have some ideas, however, on how to keep the Bourne dream alive without him. He says:
“I think there’s a good way to do a prequel with someone else, but not me. What any studio is interested in is making a franchise like Bourne an evergreen that can just go on and on. With me playing him, Bourne got his memory back three times. So I don’t think anybody wants to see me say ‘I don’t remember’ again. But you could do a prequel with another actor being the first Bourne before his identity gets passed on to me. In fact, why not two or three? As for me coming back to do him again, I’m just saying no.”
We agree, no more Bourne movies.
But Oceans 14 has a nice ring to it!
