Yahoo News are reporting that Matt Damon has confirmed his and director Paul Greengrass' involvement in a fourth instalment in the Jason Bourne franchise, although it might be some time before the character returns to the screen.
The movies, based on Robert Ludlum's bestselling spy novels, have made an action star out of Damon and another sequel has been rumoured since the release of the third film, The Bourne Ultimatum in 2007.
It was speculated that the next adventure would be based on another Ludlum book, The Parsifal Mosiac, although Damon appears to debunk this, telling Parade Magazine, "We're working on it. This time it would be from an original script rather than a book by Robert Ludlum, but the director Paul Greengrass is busy and I am too, so we'll see what happens."
It will be interesting to see how they can take the character forward given that they've fully explored the amnesia storyline already. I would hope they could come up with something more original than a prequel, but I'll be looking forward to the film regardless.
