Tony Gilroy writing The Bourne Legacy!
Wed, June 9, 2010 
Just when I thought it was over they pull me right back in! The Bourne franchise will continue with a fourth installment set for release in 2012!
Universal Pictures announced today that Tony Gilroy is returning to write the script for The Bourne Legacy, the fourth installment in the Jason Bourne franchise. He wrote the previous three films as well.
They also added that while "The Bourne Legacy" is a book written by Eric Lustabader in Robert Ludlum's "Bourne" series, the film will not be based on it.
This is great fucking news! I personally loved the first three films. I felt like they breathed some fresh air into the spy/thriller/action genre. The only issue for me at this point is Matt Damon has gone on record saying that he wouldn't reprise the role if director Paul Greengrass is not returning. Someone at Universal better know enough to write Greengrass a fat ass cheque right about now. Because without Damon I have no interest in the sequel, and I'm sure the majority of fans can agree.

I fucking love these movies! I thought Greengrass said he was done? Doesn;t that mean they'll have to recast Bourne?
it's extremely chliche for an actor to say he won't come back if a certain director doesn't. To me all that means is he has a number in his head, and if universal can match it he'll be back. They'll pay him big bucks to reprise the role, and I don't think it will matter if Greengrass comes back
