Between conversing with Lance Armstrong and announcing to the world that he is tucking his second daughter into bed, Frank Marshall, producer of the BOURNE films posted a few updates related to his next BOURNE entry on his Twitter account. He mentions that attached writer George Nolfi, who penned THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM, should have a draft of the script ready by June and that “BOURNE 4 is in the works for summer 2011.”
Marshall is currently overseeing production on THE LAST AIRBENDER, director M. Night Shyamalan’s live-action adaptation of popular animated TV series, AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER.
On a side note, Netflix is now streaming the AVATAR series online for subscribers, or at least the first season.
Last October it was announced that Matt Damon will be returning to the role of “Jason Bourne” despite his suggestion in 2007 that he would not be playing the character again.
Paul Greengrass, director of THE BOURNE SUPREMACY and THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM, is also returning to helm the fourth film.
There is yet no word on if fight choreographer Jeff Imada will be returning to arrange more killer fight sequences.
Regardless, one can only hope that Greengrass will finally see his Jabberwocky-style camera work and editing for the headache-inducing gimmick that it is and just let the great storytelling and action speak for itself this time.
