It’s been a long time delayed since its first announcement in 2008, but Universal has moved the boulder of another Jason Bourne flick further up the hill, signing screenwriter Tony Gilroy to pen a treatment and bible for the proposed fourth film, The Bourne Legacy. Gilroy, of course, had at least a hand in writing all of the first three Bourne flicks, before jumping behind the camera and directing his own scripts for Michael Clayton and Duplicity. Universal wants to stay in business with Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass, but they won’t yet commit, so different options are on the table. Regardless of what Greengrass ultimately decides (and after three films together, there has to be some fatigue), it’s hard to see Damon walking away from a franchise like this, especially with Gilroy on board.
