Author Topic: Fourth Bourne Film green lighted Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 02-26-2008 11:06 AM                     The rumor over the weekend was a 4th Bourne movie would be green lighted, now its official over at Hollywood.com they are reporting. quote: HOLLYWOOD - Matt Damon is set to reprise his role as forgetful hitman Jason Bourne in a fourth action movie. The movie star hinted 2007's The Bourne Ultimatum would be his third and final film in the franchise, but a day after that film picked up three Oscars for Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing and Best Film Editing, movie executives have announced he'll be back as Bourne. British moviemaker Paul Greengrass, who directed the two Bourne sequels, will also be back for the fourth installment. At least they are keeping the successful team of Damon and Greengrass together, wether you like his directing style or not he works well with Matt.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-26-2008 11:57 AM                     quote: Matt Damon is set to reprise his role as forgetful hitman Jason Bourne in a fourth action movie. At least they got that right. The role is totally forgetful.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-26-2008 01:01 PM                     But Brad.... at least your favorite film of last year won two oscars for sound... Lets face it... if they don't get the DP a tripod for this shoot they should at least shoot him!

What does the Matt Damon franchise have to do with its win? Even if the general public noticed and appreciated how good the sound and editing was in this movie, are they really going to want to come to a fourth Bourne in order to see some more fantastic editing and sweet sound work? If the executives want to stretch this thing out, so be it. But this seems like a vacuous reason for it, a non-sequitur, even if it's now officially "an Oscar winning" franchise. I've never seen any of the three current films, and the Oscar for sound isn't going to make me care about Matt Damon enough to want to rent it.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-26-2008 04:26 PM                     quote: Brian Michael Weidemann What does the Matt Damon franchise have to do with its win? Actually it has ALOT to do with the franchise. It should be easy to see even to someone never involved in production . What it brings is $Lots$ $Of$ $money$ to get the best... Location Sound Mixer, Foley people, Re-Recording people, Re-Recording stage, and the needed amount of time to do the mix until the engineers are happy with it. You're not going to find these folks working on the next Adam Sandler Film!!

Bourne Desperation or whatever it is called did NOT deserve the best sound mixing and editing award. That SHOULD have gone to Ratatoiulle, Die Hard 4 or Hairspray! All of those had phenomenal sound mixes, whereas the Bourne crap was nothing special at all. A movie need not be an action movie to have the best sound mixing of the year.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 02-26-2008 08:23 PM                       What's a Bourne movie?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-26-2008 09:40 PM                     Tim, consider yourself lucky.

THE BOURNE DESPERATION is slated for 2022 and Brad will get credit for the title. The shaky-cam has already been reserved.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-27-2008 10:01 AM                        Just so long as they're not using it for CLOVERFIELD 27.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-27-2008 01:55 PM                     Oh crap this reminds me I need to take care of something very important right now before anyone else on my team beats me to it...
