I just got around to watching The Bourne Ultimatum for the first time a few weeks ago and enjoyed it immensely. I was sad that this was the end of the series, but it looks as though I have no need to worry.

More recently, Shmuger and Linde landed Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon for a fourth "Bourne" movie, even though the director and star seemed ready to wrap it up after three pics. And they landed Sam Raimi to return to horror with "Drag Me to Hell," starring Ellen Page.

WOOOT!

He never said he wouldn't do a fourth. In fact before the 3rd one came out he specifically said he'd consider a 4th if Paul Greengrass came back to direct it and there was a story worth doing.

I read an interview where he said that he wasn't going to do another one due to extreme whorage. I'll see if I can find it.

**edit**

However Matt Damon won't do a fourth "Bourne," he said: "We have ridden that horse as far as we can." He admitted to feeling like "a bit of a prostitute for putting out two number threes in one year."

"That's better than three number twos," added Clooney.

He was born (pun) to play the part, and the movie make a killing at the box office, so why stop? :)

Which he later clarified:

Q: You?ve said it before that you?re not going to be playing Jason Bourne ever again?

MATT DAMON: I made that comment at Cannes when we were about nine months into shooting the movie (he laughs), I just went, "I?m never doing this again.? But I think in terms of another one, the story of this guy?s search for his identity is over, because he?s got all the answers, so there?s no way we can trot out the same character, and so much of what makes him interesting is that internal struggle that was happening for him, am I a good guy, am I a bad guy, what is the secret behind my identity, what am I blocking out, why am I remembering these disturbing images? So all of that internal propulsive mechanism that drives the character is not there, so if there was to be another one then it would have to be a complete reconfiguration, you know, where do you go from there? For me I kind of feel like the story that we set out too tell has now been told. I love the character, and if Paul Greengrass calls me in ten years and says, "Now we can do it, because it?s been ten years and I have a way to bring him back,? then there?s a world in which I can go, "Yeah, absolutely.? We could get the band back together if there was a great idea behind it, but in terms of now and this story, that part ? the story?s been told, if we came out with a fourth one, suddenly I got bonked on the head, you guys would be like, "Are you kidding me?? Actually, I was talking to a journalist yesterday, who suggested that we could do the fourth one about Bourne losing his keys. And we could do for the entire movie, "Where are my keys?? And that kind of illustrates how out of story we are at this point in terms of what was good about these first three films.

Or here:

Will there be a fourth Bourne movie?

Well, you're going to have to ask Paul Greengrass because if Paul did it then that would be a case for me doing it...

Well technically my original statement of "He never said he wouldn't do a fourth" was wrong too, since at one point he had, so we'll call it a draw :)

Uh, hate to tell you, but the 2nd and 3rd movies had little to nothing to do with the books they shared a name with.

Neither did the 1st film...they are based on the books in character names alone.

Title of the next film : Bourne To Die

I keep looking for Carlos but he never shows up??? ;)

BTW, I really hope if they do this it doesn't end up being like Spidey 3. I love the first 3 Bourne movies, they're basically the perfect action trilogy.
