Let's start, perhaps, according to tradition with bad. Matt Damon, as you know, will no longer work on the project. And the studio Universal stated that the film would be released regardless of whether Damon would be involved in the project. The next part of the franchise, based on the thriller Robert Ladlama, is sent in the production at the UNIVERSAL PICTURES studio in the spring of 2011, and the release is scheduled for August 2012.
The good news is that even if Damon does not appear in the next part, he will be able to return to screens later, let's say through one or two series.
Deadline found out that Gilroy will direct the film on the scenario over which he himself works with last spring. It is known that the director decided to shift the focus with Jason Born and develop the legend of the franchise. He came up with new heroes, and is ready to tell a new story about the parent company, which stands behind the shadow government operation, according to which such agents, as Born is washed with brains and make ruthless killers from them. Another central character will be another agent, whose history will be similar to the story of Born, or they will be the character of Clywa Owen, which already appears in the trilogy. The facts of what happened in previous films will also be included in the plot line.
Since Gilroy does not replace Born, he leaves the ability for Damon to return to the project. And we hope that the actor will use it.
