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.
