Bourne Movie Hits Trouble As Director Walks
5 hours ago | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Matt Damon's upcoming Bourne sequel has been thrown into jeopardy - the action franchise's director has reportedly quit the project.
Paul Greengrass joined the film series by taking charge of 2004's The Bourne Supremacy and he returned to direct a second sequel, The Bourne Ultimatum in 2007.
Damon recently announced he is working on a fourth movie, teaming up with Greengrass to develop an original story for the next installment in the popular series, which is based on the books by Robert Ludlum.
But the film has been thrown into doubt amid reports Greengrass has walked away from the project, according to Theplaylist website.
The site reports Greengrass quit after bosses at Hollywood studio Universal hired their own writer to look after the script, without consulting the director. »
Greengrass Bounces Out of Directing 'Bourne 4'
7 hours ago | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
The Playlist is reporting Paul Greengrass has bailed on directing a fourth Jason Bourne film.
The reasons given include the August revelation that Josh Zetumer was brought on by Universal to write what sounded like a completely new draft of the script following the one turned in by George Nolfi (The Bourne Ultimatum). Greengrass is said to have not been included in the decision.
Next is an apparent spat between director and studio regarding the ballooning cost of Greengrass's upcoming war film Green Zone which has bounced all over the release schedule and is now slated for a March 12, 201o release. Word is Greengrass has been reshooting and editing the picture and the price tag has continued to go up in the process.
Considering this is another war film set in the Middle East I can certainly understand the studio's concern. As The Playlist points out, Green Zone star Matt Damon revealed to Empire, »

I guess the next three DVD/Blu-ray previews I write up could also be looked at as potential gift guides as we are now counting our way down to Christmas. Perhaps you'll find a little something for yourself as well as someone on your list. Let's get into it...
A Christmas Tale (Criterion Collection) I just posted my review of the Blu-ray edition and it's a film I am already interested in revisiting and expect I will have a different reaction to each time. As it stands I enjoyed it, but wasn't completely bowled over and in terms of special features this one is a bit light when it comes to Criterion standards with only a making-of interview featurette and Desplechin's 2007 documentary about the selling of his family home, which is actually quite good.

No Fourth Bourne Film for Paul Greengrass
12 hours ago | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »
Paul Greengrass who directed The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum and has been set to direct a fourth Bourne film is no longer interested in directing the next installment of the Ludlum series.
The Playlist is reporting that director Paul Greengrass has left the production of the fourth Jason Bourne film, which is currently in development at Universal Pictures.
It was said that there are currently two scripts for the project, one by The Bourne Ultimatum co-writer George Nolfi and another by Josh Zemuter. It seems that no one cares much for Nolfi’s script and Greengrass wasn’t happy when Zemuter was hired without consulting with him first. Greengrass is currently working on post-production of his latest film with star Matt Damon, The Green Zone, which was said to be in a bit of trouble itself with the budget escalating to $150 million, from its original $100 million budget.

Is Paul Greengrass Finished with the Bourne Franchise?
20 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The Playlist (who have become heavy hitters with exclusives) is reporting that director Paul Greengrass, the critically acclaimed helmer of The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, United 93, and the upcoming Iraq War-thriller Green Zone, will not be coming back for a fourth Jason Bourne adventure. The break apparently comes from two factors: Greengrass is upset at Universal because they didn’t consult him on who they hired to write the Bourne 4; likewise, Universal is upset at Greengrass because he’s turned Green Zone, which was supposed to be a small film to keep Greengrass happy in between Bourne flicks, into a $150 million Iraq War movie (which have never been a hit at the box office).
Obviously, after three films together, Matt Damon’s loyalty lies with Greengrass and wouldn’t even consider doing a 4th Bourne, “at least not without [Greengrass'] blessing and even then, it would have to be a spectacular script. »

Bourne 4 No More?
20 hours ago | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Bourne 4 no more? That might be the case now that an important name has bowed out of the project. Paul Greengrass, the director for The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum -- as well as Green Zone which sort of looks like Bourne: Overseas -- has walked out on the fourth, and yet-to-be-titled, Bourne movie. The news comes to us from the folks over at The Playlist, who say that Greengrass and Universal Studios called things quits last week. While the official story is that there were "creative difference," the real reason, as The Playlist explains, is money. While Bourne 4 has been in discussion for quite some time, the script has yet to be decided -- despite screenwriters George Nolfi (The Bourne Ultimatum) and Josh Zetumer (The Infiltrator) being hired to work on their own (separate) versions of the story. That might not have been a problem for Greengrass as »
Poster for Greengrass, Damon Film Green Zone
4 November 2009 6:39 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
Empire Magazine has the first poster for the Iraq War thriller Green Zone starring Matt Damon and directed by Paul Greengrass. The two worked together on The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum, which might explain why the poster and trailer look like a continuation of that series rather than a fast-paced political flick.
If this one sheet looks like a simple, washed out picture of Damon, that’s because it is. But wait a minute, you’re missing the cringe-worthy tag line. “Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller Is Done Following Orders.” There, that ought to bring people in droves.

First Poster for Paul Greengrass’ Green Zone Starring Matt Damon
4 November 2009 10:33 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
I’ve already made my feelings about “Green Zone” abundantly clear and it’s going to be difficult for me to put aside what I think the film should’ve been and trying to appreciate what director Paul Greengrass actually made. The funny thing is that if I had no idea what the book was about, I would be pretty excited for what look like the 4th Jason Bourne movie since “Supremacy” and “Ultimatum”, which Greengrass directed, are both fantastic films.
Still, when I look at the film’s first poster, it’s hard for me to choke down a tagline like “Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller Is Done Following Orders”. Thankfully, the film doesn’t come out until March 12th, 2010 so I still have some time to adjust. Check out the poster and a brief synopsis after the jump.

Here’s a couple of new images from Matt Damon’s Green Zone. If you didn’t catch our news about it a couple of days ago, both the Domestic and International trailers were released 12 hours apart from one another which caught us all by surprise as they were completely different in their content. We have them both on HeyUGuys for your viewing pleasure – click the links above to view. The international trailer gives you a much better idea of the story but they’re both worth a watch.
In the meantime, we have these new images (click them below to enlarge) from the movie which is set to blow your socks off March 12th. As well as Damon, Green Zone stars Greg Kinnear, Amy Ryan, Brendan Gleeson, Jason Isaacs, Khalid Abdalla.

International Green Zone Trailer is Radically Different
28 October 2009 11:48 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Yesterday we posted the domestic trailer for director Paul Greengrass’ (”The Bourne Supremacy”, “The Bourne Ultimatum”, “United 93″) “Green Zone”. While the movie is about a rogue U.S. Army officer (Matt Damon) in Iraq, for a moment I thought I was watching the trailer for the next Bourne movie. That’s not a bad thing, it’s just the way Universal was selling the film in the trailer. But over in the United Kingdom, Universal has released a Much different trailer as it uses other footage to tell the story. Trust me, watch both trailers. You’ll be amazed at how different they are. Both are after the jump:
Here’s the synopsis:
On March 12, 2010, Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass re-team for the electrifying thriller “Green Zone”. In the film, Damon stars as Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller, a rogue U.S. Army officer who must hunt through »

New Trailers: 'Green Zone' and 'Smokin' Aces 2'
27 October 2009 4:50 PM, PDT | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »
Green Zone [watch the trailer] It's not exactly Bourne 4, but if you watched this trailer without knowing the name of the film, you may indeed question whether or not this was some secret Bourne sequel that no one told you about. Instead, though, it's called Green Zone – and it looks very Bourne-esque because the film reunites Matt Damon (who played Jason Bourne) with director Paul Greengrass (who directed The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum). So, yeah, you'll see a lot of that familiar Matt Damon ass-kickery set to some quick, shaky camera cuts, however this flick is completely different from that series. In Green Zone, Damon stars as a rogue Army officer who's searching for Weapons of Mass Destruction during the Iraq war. Usually moviegoers...

Trailer for Paul Greengrass’ Green Zone Starring Matt Damon
27 October 2009 10:28 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
To say that I’m disappointed by the trailer for Paul Greengrass’ upcoming film, “Green Zone”, would be an understatement. What you’re essentially getting is a 4th Jason Bourne movie. And yes, the direction looks amazing and I’m sure Matt Damon, Amy Ryan, and Greg Kinnear will all do a good job. But I’ve seen this movie twice already from Greengrass. By choosing this direction, he’s missed a golden opportunity to do something fresh and different because the source material, Rajiv Chandrasekaran’s “Imperial Life in the Emerald City”, is not an action-packed thriller. It’s in the vein of “Catch-22″ and made all the more absurd by the fact that it’s all true. Maybe it’s because I attached my expectations to this film but I’m feeling a bit deflated since it looks like all we’re getting is a thrilling action movie. »

The film opens March 12. Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass ( The Bourne Supremacy , The Bourne Ultimatum ) re-team for the electrifying thriller, a film set in the chaotic early days of the Iraqi War when no one could be trusted and every decision could detonate unforeseen consequences.

Exclusive: Michelle Monaghan Talks ‘Trucker’
16 October 2009 3:51 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
To the uninformed, Michelle Monaghan might be little more than a recognizable face. Yet, the actress has had a strong start to her career, having appeared in several of the most successful recent movies. That’s her in The Bourne Supremacy, Mission: Impossible III, Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Eagle Eye. Nothing she’s done to this point, to resurrect the age old cliché, will prepare you for her work in Trucker. A small, subtle character study set against the vast expanse of the American West and written and directed by James Mottern, it’s the story of a tough trucker named Diane (Monaghan) who finds her independence and isolation compromised when she’s reacquainted with the son (Jimmy Bennett) she abandoned as an infant. Film School Rejects spoke to Monaghan about the deeply personal project, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2008 and is now in limited release. What »

Universal Releases Synopses for Green Zone, MacGruber, Untitled Robin Hood Adventure, Get Him To The Greek, Your Highness
12 October 2009 6:20 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Universal Studios has released synopses for some of their major 2010 films and the two that are especially worth reading are “MacGruber” and Ridley Scott’s “Untitled Robin Hood Adventure”. While it might surprise you to hear this, a few people have told me “MacGruber” is going to shock everyone next year as it’s a super-violent, hard-r movie. Also, I’ve heard there are many lines that we’re all going to quote. Did I mention Val Kilmer plays the villain and his name is Dieter Von Cunth? I know, I know–I am just as shocked to report SNL’s “MacGruber” might be a great movie.
As for Ridley Scott’s “Untitled Robin Hood Adventure”, this synopsis is the first real story details I’m hearing about the plot. Since I haven’t watched every version of “Robin Hood”, I’ll let the synopses do the talking, but I »

Review: Trucker
10 October 2009 7:02 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
By Erik Davis, reprinted from the Tribeca Film Festival 4/26/08
I was completely honest with actress Michelle Monaghan yesterday when I told her, right at the beginning of a one-on-one interview, that I'd been waiting a long time to watch her come alive in a role. In her relatively short career, Monaghan has already racked up quite the resume -- appearing in films like Mission Impossible III, Gone Baby Gone, The Bourne Supremacy, The Heartbreak Kid and Made of Honor. She's got a great, girl-next-door quality about her, but is she memorable? The good news here is that Monaghan finally delivered the sort of performance I've known was trapped somewhere inside her, hidden behind a variety of big, flashy Hollywood films. Make no mistake, this is her film. She owns it. But is that enough to convince you to see it?
In Trucker, she plays Diane, a female truck driver with »

Soderbergh Hopes More Realistic Spy Thriller will be 'Knockout'
9 October 2009 10:30 AM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Steven Soderbergh wants to bring a sense of realism back to the action/spy genre, starting with the casting of mixed martial artist Gina Carano as his leading lady in his upcoming film, Knockout.
In Knockout, Carano will play a woman with incomparable hand-to-hand fighting skills, who gets hired by the government and subsequently involved in a globe-trotting plotline. Although the project may sound similar to James Bond or Jason Bourne’s exploits, there will be more logic involved, especially with regards to high-speed pursuit, Soderbergh told MTV.
"Very, very few people escape high-speed pursuit," he said. "It happens, but it's very rare. So I’ve already researched the six times in history it's happened, so if we do that and she gets out of it, she’s going to get out of it one of the ways they did. It's that kind of thing. It drives me nuts when »
Damon Writes About Clean Water Woes
8 October 2009 6:36 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Matt Damon has poured his heart out about his travels to the poorest parts of the world in a new essay for U.S. magazine Parade.
The actor turned journalist to pen a travelogue for the free publication, which will hit the streets in many national publications this weekend (10-11Oct09).
In his essay, The Bourne Supremacy star admits he was inspired to give to charity as a child, and would save up his allowance and hand it over to causes he felt passionate about.
He writes, "My mother was involved in all sorts of causes and when I was about 12, I started sending a little bit every month to one of them. I learned then that you find something that matters to you and it changes your whole mindset."
And his passion for giving led him to his latest cause - finding clean water for the Third World's kids.
Damon admits he has been deeply moved by the efforts of volunteers and aid workers in Africa as they fight to save children, like his own, from dying.
He adds, "Every 15 seconds, a child dies because of a lack of clean water and sanitation... A billion people on our planet will never have a clean drink of water."
He also recalls meeting those struggling to survive in Haiti, Africa and India, and confesses he struggles to comprehend how some areas of the world are so poor while Americans take water and sanitation for granted.
Damon explains, "You can read about extreme poverty and possible solutions, but it's really powerful when you get to meet the people and shake their hands and listen to their stories.
"I was in Ethiopia earlier this year, and I watched children taking filthy water out of a hand-dug well and putting it in bottles to take to school. The water was so dirty, it looked like chocolate milk.
"I wanted to knock it out of their hands and say, 'Don't drink that - it could kill you.' The dilemma is that drinking nothing at all will kill them faster."
Damon's essay in Parade launches the publication's America's Giving Challenge, which aims to increase charity donations for international causes. »
Damon Unveils Haiti Water Initiative
23 September 2009 12:06 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Matt Damon is using his star status to help provide clean water to thousands of people living in poverty-stricken Haiti.
The Bourne Supremacy star created non-profit company Water.org earlier this year when he merged his H2O Africa charity with WaterPartners International.
Water.org has previously succeeded in providing access to clean water for people living in developing countries in Africa and South Asia - and now Damon is turning his attentions to Haiti.
The actor joined world leaders, including U.S. President Barack Obama and former leader Bill Clinton, at the launch of the 2009 Clinton Global Initiative in New York on Tuesday to announce his new mission.
The project, nicknamed the Haiti Challenge, aims to provide clean water and sanitation facilities to 50,000 Haitians.
Damon explained, "Water.org will deliver at least $2 million to fund this commitment."
He also urged the leading politicians gathered at the meeting to donate to the organisation to ensure the Safe Water and Sanitation For the People of Haiti initiative is a success.
Damon added, "We want to challenge everyone here in this room tonight to support this commitment to the people of Haiti by visiting Water.org." »
