Hey, action buffs: British-born Oscar-nominated director Paul Greengrass (United 93), who directed The Bourne Supermacy and The Bourne Ultimatum, will not be making the fourth film in the series.“You won’t find a more devoted supporter of the franchise than me. I will always be grateful to have been the caretaker to Jason Bourne over the course of [the follow-ups to The Bourne Identity].” Greengrass said. “I’m very proud of those films. My decision to not return a third time as director is simply about feeling the call for a different challenge. I hope to remain involved in some capacity as the series moves on.”
Franchise star Matt Damon (pictured at right with Greengrass) has not yet signed on for the fourthquel, and rumor has it that Tony Gilroy, who wrote all three previous Bourne films and recently directed Michael Clayton and Duplicity, could now possibly step in to write and direct.
