Rumors about 'Bourne 5' cast continue to emerge online but one thing is confirmed! Matt Damon will star the film hopefully with Paul Greegrass for the 2016 film!
Matt Damon had previously stated that he was "open" to another Bourne movie if Paul Greengrass, who directed the sequels The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum, was once again behind the camera.
This is the same British filmmaker who most recently helmed Captain Phillips, told Deadline in December about the possibility of returning to the franchise: "I can't speak for Matt, but I agonized for a long period of time about it. In the end I felt I had given it my all in two films I'm very proud of and didn't want to make another if I didn't believe it could be as good if not better."
As we keep our eyes on the confirmed staff/cast of Bourne 5, fans across the globe are now expecting a better storyline for this upcoming film. The fourth installment of Bourne did not really get all the praise and glory from movie critiics as compared to its predecessors. One of the rumoured strategies in bringing back the hype is by acquiring a new screenwriter -- Anthony Peckham. Peckham penned Invictus and the firstSherlock Homes movie starring Robert Downey Jr.
Now on its fifth chapter, the film franchise was first based on and now inspired by the novel series by the late Robert Ludlum, will instead again focus on the Aaron Cross character played by Renner in The Bourne Legacy.
Universal Pictures announced that the release date for the as-yet untitled next chapter in the saga has been bumped from Aug. 14, 2015, to July 15, 2016.
"I talk to Justin all the time and the script is not ready," Marshall also told THR, refuting the speculation that the date was pushed back to accommodate Damon's schedule. "It's a summer movie, and if we don't start preproduction now, we can't make next summer. Therefore, it's a wise decision to move to 2016."
