Aussie movie news site Moviehole.net caught up with Matt Damon as he was in town promoting The Bourne Supremacy, and in the midst of Bourne talk they caught a little preview of the actor’s upcoming slate.
The most promising news for all of us that enjoyed Supremacy is that Damon says he looks forward to kicking and punching his way through a third round – called The Bourne Ultimatum – if all the elements come together. “They [the studio] definitely want one now. It’s a great place to be in, because now we can kind of just stick back and listen to people’s different ideas on what the third one should be. And if there is a third one….I’m going to have to do it.”
He also mentions that not-so-steady cam director Paul Greengrass is keen to helm the next chapter too.
He also went into a little detail over Ocean’s Twelve saying the cast are keen to make a third Oceans movie. “I know all the actors would keep going with it. Carl Reiner said to me the other day ‘Tell me if we’re doing a third one, because I’ll stay alive for it’”, he laughs. “It’s a lot of heavy lifting for Steven [Soderbergh, the director], but if he wants to do it, everyone will do it”.
Some other films in Damon’s future include The Brothers Grimm, Syriana and The Departed teaming him with such names as George Clooney, Heath Ledger, Monica Belluci, Leonardo DiCaprio and director Martin Scorsese.
