Comments on: Damon and Greengrass to do a fourth Bourne film? http://popcritics.com/2008/02/26/damon-and-greengrass-to-do-a-fourth-bourne-film Reviewing popular culture so you don't have to Fri, 10 Feb 2012 05:47:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Daducha http://popcritics.com/2008/02/26/damon-and-greengrass-to-do-a-fourth-bourne-film#comment-5856 Daducha Thu, 28 Feb 2008 13:01:54 +0000 http://www.popcritics.com/2008/02/damon-and-greengrass-to-do-a-fourth-bourne-film/#comment-5856 I agree with you Neva. Ludlum established Jason Bourne to be unstoppable and the one controlling the situations. Lustbader however portrays him like a wimp at the start and a hero at the end. But it is not the same. I miss Ludlum's espionage ideas and twists in his stories. It is not the same, I hope they get a really good screenwriter for the movie version. <em>Daducha's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MomPopSon/~3/242692858/omg-britney-spears-might-really-be.html' rel="nofollow">OMG Is Britney Spears Pregnant with Adnan's Baby?</a></em> I agree with you Neva.

That's basically the same stuff I've heard out there... Thanks Neva for that…good to have someone who’s read them stop by. That’s basically the same stuff I’ve heard out there…

While he is a good writer of his own novels, White Ninja etc were great, Lustbader just hasn't captured Jason Bourne. In the Bourne Betrayal, Jason Bourne is the eternal victim, not the unstoppable character he is in Ludlums originals. Yes Bourne triumphs in the end, in a fizzy way, but the whole way through he's just a mess and I basically felt like I was reading a completley different character, which I was. I hope they keep doing the Bourne movies, but I hope they stay away from Lustbaders versions, 'cause its not Jason Bourne in those books.

But I've not read them of course. Yeah Scott, I read that on The Movie Blog and they didn’t like the sequels too much, so they hoped they’d have some original stories, not those books.

It wasn't exactly written forever ago, but it WAS pre-net, and when Europe still had borders. That was interesting to think about. We've come a long way, baby! <em>Robert's last blog post..<a href='http://allthingscatnip.com/archives/talk-to-your-cat-about-catnip/' rel="nofollow">Talk To Your Cat About Catnip</a></em> Ultimatum does not mean ultimate, though. ;)

Bourne is the new black! Okay, I'm even sure what that means, but Tina Fey said something similar on SNL and it was funny. Anyway, I'm going to love it regardless if they make more, but what's higher than Ultimatum. Identity, Supremacy, and Ultimatum. I wonder what title can trump that. Universal? See what I did there, folks. That's a called a pun. Universal is a film company and an all encompassing term... oh, nevermind... I think I've ruined my comedic timing. Are you kidding me?
