Paul Greengrass: killjoy

Couple of weeks or so ago word started circulating that Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass were in talks to return to the Bourne franchise. "Oh happy day!" cried Bourne fans the world over. Now however director Greengrass has surfaced to pour a could bucket of water on those rising expectations. When asked by empireonline to comment on the reunion rumors and their origin Greengrass replied “I’ve absolutely no idea...I’m not being funny but, no, that’s just a figment of someone’s imagination.”

Asked if there's been any serious discussion recently between himself and Damon regarding the Bourne franchise he replied: “Quite a while ago... We might have a laugh about it, but a serious conversation? Not for a long time.” And when asked if he harbored any secret desire to return to Bourneville at some point in the future Greengrass said: “Um... listen, I loved the Bourne movies... I loved making them but it’s like anything in life, you’ve got to move on and do different things."

This could be posturing on the director's part but it sounds more definitive than that to me. Sounds to me that, if you're a Bourne fan, you should probably get used to the name Jeremy Renner.
