Bourne, Again
Written on February 26, 2008 by Vic Holtreman
Buried in a story about Universal Studios' strategy to re-invigorate itself is a mention that there will be a fourth film in the Bourne series.
The Bourne trilogy has been been extremely popular and profitable for Universal and is one of the bright spots in their financial ledger. As pointed out by /Film, the trilogy has grossed over $945 million worldwide with the last movie, The Bourne Ultimatum responsible for about half that total.
The existing three films have exhausted the original source material - novels written by Robert Ludlum, but there are two additional stories that have been penned by Eric Van Lustbader (how's that for a cool name?): The Bourne Legacy , and The Bourne Betrayal. Unfortunately if you head on over to Amazon.com you'll find a lower opinion of the non-Ludlum novels than of the original three.
Review: The Bourne Ultimatum
Written on August 5, 2007 by Vic HoltremanBy Vic Holtreman
Rating:
5 out of 5
Short version: The Bourne Ultimatum hits it out of the park as a smart, action-packed and compelling spy thriller which puts the series at 3 for 3.
Rarely do you get a movie trilogy where all three films are fantastic. Actually, the only other trilogy that comes to mind that fits that description is Lord of the Rings. Now we can add The Bourne Ultimatum to that list of one.
I gave the first two films very high marks (5 stars for Identity and 4.5 stars for Supremacy) and this one lives up to the standards set by the first two completely.

It seems like in this film all hell will break loose because Jason Bourne remembers everything. I don't know why, but as I watched it I found myself wishing for a Jason Bourne vs. John McClane movie. :-)
