We already had a title and everything: Bourne’s dilemma. When they were close to ten years of the last film released from the saga, Jason Bourne, Matt Damon He had put himself in motion to breathe life again to the character of Robert Ludlum. It seemed to have found the ideal director for it in Edward Bergersigner of All quiet on the front and Conclaveand it is assumed that the one that was going to be the sixth movie of the saga was about to start shooting. But here it is that a turn of events has spoiled it.
He picks it up Hollywood Reporter. All movies of Bourne To date they have been developed by Universal Pictures According to an agreement with Captivate Entertainment: The study in possession of the rights on Ludlum’s literary work. Captivate, therefore, was costing him quite ahead of a new installment, and there are those who have tired of waiting: another company, Wmehas just acquired the rights of the saga and the rest of the Ludlum library with the objective that Jason Bourne has a more constant presence in films or series.
Not only Captivate has lost rights, but this means in the practice that Universal will not have them and that surely Damon can no longer interpret the amnesic spy. WME now seeks another great study to promote new adaptations, having already been interested in the license agencies such as Netflix, Apple either Skydancelinked to Paramount Pictures.
This movement automatically throws Bourne’s dilemma and has certain reminiscences to what happened recently with James Bondwhen Amazon MGM Studios He took the control of the saga from the historic producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson Because of his delay in lighting new titles.
Bond and Bourne are two quite linked characters through the history of cinema, as the premiere of The Bourne case In 2002 (first adaptation, already with Damon and directed by Doug Liman) He shook the action genre so that the secret agents had to be more realistic (and so he was born Casino Royale). TO The Bourne case They happened to him Bourne’s ultimatum and Bourne’s mythso that in 2012 a fault was attempted REBOOT changing to the protagonist for Jeremy Renner.
Jason Bournein charge of Paul Grengrassrevitalized the character to some extent, getting a good box office but with cold criticism. Since then, Universal had tried to redirect the saga, but it has run out of time and the fate of Jason Bourne is now an unknown.
