Matt Damon Talks Bourne 5

The Martian actor Matt Damon who will be reprising his role as Jason Bourne in the fifth instalment of the Bourne franchise has provided an update on the progress of the film. The actor revealed, “We’re, like, probably about halfway through. We started in September but they’re going dark for most of December and cutting basically the first two acts”.

He added, “And then we have the third act and then whatever we owe from the first two acts…We were in Tenerife, which is supposed to be Athens. It would be like a nighttime riot scene to kind of start the movie. And then England, Berlin a little bit for about a week, and a little bit in D.C. Then we’re going to Vegas for the third act…Big car chase on the strip”.

Talking about his character in the film, Matt said, “You’ll find the character — like “The Bourne Ultimatum,” the third act actually in the movie dovetails with the third act of “The Bourne Supremacy.” So technically when the Bourne character disappears, it’s still 2004. So when this next one comes out in ’16, it will have been 12 years — in movie years — that the character as been off the grid. So what’s happened in those intervening years gives you a story”.
