Next ‘Bourne’ movie to be prequel without Damon!
February 2nd, 2010 - 1:41 am ICT by IANSLondon, Feb 2 (IANS) Hollywood actor Matt Damon insists his next outing in the “Bourne” action franchise is at least “five years away” because movie bosses want the upcoming fourth film to be a prequel without him.
The thriller series was thrown into jeopardy last year when its director Paul Greengrass announced he will no longer be involved with the pictures but Damon subsequently confirmed his commitment to the franchise, reports imdb.com.
The star has now confirmed it will be a long time before he is back on the big screen as tough guy Jason Bourne, because there will be a prequel featuring a new actor first.
“There’ll probably be a prequel of some kind with another actor and another director before we do another one. We’re probably five years away from another one. We’ve got to get a script,” he said.
