From the “Why yes, I do live under a rock” file:
Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass have both agreed to make a third Bourne sequel. At this rate it won’t hit theaters until at least 2010, but I’m already excited. The Jason Bourne series is by far my favorite movie franchise of the last 10 years, moreso than even The Lord of the Rings (although no moviegoing experience since childhood has been as satisfying as seeing those three movies in the theater every Christmas time). I’m a little nervous as well, given that a) Ultimatum was probably the best in the series overall, and b) the series seemed to come to such a satisfying — not to mention firm — ending. (When your series title character flat-out says he is no longer the series title character, that’s a big hurdle to overcome.) Still, I think Paul Greengrass can find a way to give the series yet another invigorating shot in the arm, and I have no doubt Damon would continue to be great in the role.
