Bourne Loser

Fans of the Jason Bourne movies take note, your current leading man says he's calling it quits as the character, once the latest chapter hits the cineplex...

Damon Bourne No More?

Stax of IGN:

It appears that The Bourne Ultimatum, the forthcoming third installment in Universal's espionage franchise, may be Oscar winner Matt Damon's last time playing the amnesiac rogue assassin. At least that's Damon's wish.

According to The Daily Telegraph and several other outlets, Damon was at the Cannes film festival in France to promote Ocean's Thirteen when asked about his future as Jason Bourne.

"The Bourne thing I'm definitely done with," Damon declared, adding that the Robert Ludlum created character could very well live on with a new actor in the role.

The actor also said he feels like a "like a prostitute" because he has two Hollywood blockbuster sequels out this year.

Uh, Matt, no one forced you to sign on for either franchise-You knew the deal going in...The big time salary that you get for doing this stuff allows you a certain lifestyle that many of us peons would love to have...And appearing in sequels doesn't mean you've sold out....You still found time to do The Good Shepherd last year...What a silly comment to make.
