Paul Greengrass Leaves 'Bourne 4'
December 01, 2009 02:12:54It seems that Jason Bourne will not return to the big screen as soon as it was expected. After the film's star Matt Damon informed that he was working on the script with director Paul Greengrass, the helmer has reportedly quit the untitled Bourne 4 project more than a week ago.
According to Playlist, Greengrass was not happy that Universal Pictures hired Joshua Zetumer to write what they call a "parallel" script without consulting it to him before. The "Ocean's Twelve" scribe George Nolfi was originally hired to pen the screenplay for this fourth "Bourne" film, but apparently no one liked his work.

'Bourne 4' Recruits a New Writer
August 21, 2009 11:08:59Long without any update, the fourth "Bourne" movie comes out to the attention with a new writer intact. Breaking the news was The Hollywood Reporter, which claimed Universal Pictures has signed screenwriter Josh Zetumer to pen a new script, which has been described as a parallel script, for this untitled Bourne 4 project.
