'Bourne 4' Working Toward 2011 Release Date
Producer gives updates on next installment via Twitter
Bourne franchise producer Frank Marshall has taken to updating expecting fans of The Bourne Legay, the fourth film in the Bourne franchise, via his Twitter account with two recent posts.
The first came late Sunday night saying, "Bourne4 is in the works for Summer 2111." He quickly noticed his error correcting it to Summer 2011 as well as posting a follow-up saying, "George Nolfi is the writer of Bourne4, should have a draft by June."
Nolfi was first announced as the writer back in October of 2008 and at the same time it was confirmed director Paul Greengrass and star Matt Damon were also attached to the project. Damon and Greengrass will have another film together coming out later this year from Universal titled Green Zone, an Iraq based thriller based on Rajiv Chandrasekaran's nonfiction book "Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq's Green Zone" that still does not have a confirmed release date.
As for story details, little has been revealed outside of a previous remark Marshall gave to IESB.net saying, "I think [Bourne's] headed down south. I think he’s headed to South America."

I really dont see a need for this one. I feel the Bourne trilogy is quite overrated. It's like I am watching the same movie over and over again. Just what I felt.
@adu:
Don't agree with you sentiment about the Bourne Trilogy, i feel they're some of the more intelligent films to come out of Hollywood in recent years coupled with good action and direction (i like 'shaky cam' but its become a trend to have that feel in films and didn't work for me in Eagle Eye). Its not necessary but to be honest very few films (sequels), if at all any, are ever necessary. If they can deliver on characters and action then it'll be fine, if not, then i'll still have the trilogy. A fourth film won't taint the previous three films or make them better.
Man I love the Bourne movies. I hope the 4th is as good as the first 3 were. There are a lot fans out there that would love to see a 4th. Just hope they don't screw it up. The trilogy is perfect.
I love this trilogy with all my heart. I'm very nervous about the 4th one, though. "Quit while you're ahead" has never and will never be a motto in Hollywood.
Shaky cam. Bourne does it well because Paul Greengrass knows there's more to shaky cam than just jerking the camera around. Watch BS and BU closely: notice how each time the camera moves–whether it zooms, or cuts, or jerks–it adds something else to the scene. Every cut introduces some new element that heightens the tension. Greengrass does NOT simply take the scissors and cut his takes up into little bits and paste them together like a collage.
Shaky cam in other films. Often it doesn't work. See "Quantum of Solace." Mark Forster DID simply take the figurative scissors and cut his takes up into little bits and paste them together. He would have been far better off leaving most of the action scene takes as long takes. Take, for example, the opening scene, where the camera zooms in on the tunnel, intercut with Bond shifting gears in his car. The gear shifts should have been ditched, and that camera zoom should have remained ONE SINGLE CUT! It would have been breathtaking if that had been the case. I cannot count the number of times during that film when I wished they had kept one take at one take, instead of splicing it up with other takes. It got to the point where I liked the non-action scenes more, simply for the reason that the camera actually came to a stop and focused on one thing at a time. QOS clearly tried to imitate Bourne in its editing style. It's not the imitation I mind, though; it's the fact that the editors did not understand the underlying techniques and motives that made the Bourne style so popular in the first place.
the bourne movie must go on i have read all the books. the movies are just getting started. if they get to the latest book that one i my opinion would make the best movie.
i love the bourne movies, it's really nice,great and super good movie series, love matt damon.
