More BOURNE Action Coming Our Way....


If you guys think that you've seen the last of Jason Bourne, then you guys better think again. Universal, the studio behind the successful Bourne franchise has just acquired all the rights to anything and everything Jason Bourne.

According to Variety, Universal finalized an overall deal with the estate of Bourne author, Robert Ludlum. This means that Universal now owns the rights to the character, and now has a 'first look' option to other Ludlum novels.

The Bourne franchise was originally meant to only be a trilogy. But Universal acquiring the rights definitely paves the way for more movies in the near future. This will basically be Universal's retaliation to the James Bond franchise.

The Bourne franchise has already made over $1 billion dollars worldwide!!!

The next installment is due sometime in 2010!!

I've always enjoyed the Bourne movies, and I'm actually looking forward to the next installment. I think this franchise has got lots of potential to make even more money simply because the action sequences in these movies are always great, stories are awesome, and Matt Damon just does such a good job at playing the character! I think Universal acquiring the exclusive rights to the character is good news for the bourne fans out there!

What do you think? Comment!!
