Damon And Greengrass Back To Bourne-Renner Stays Put

Deadline is reporting that Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass are set to reunite and have begun talks for the as yet Untitled Jason Bourne Sequel the 5th installment of the film series.

At last report Greengrass said creatively there was no place else for the character to go, but it sounds like he's figured out a way to make it work that satisfies both him and the actor.

The studio is reportedly so so stoked that they've given Greengrass the July 16th 2016 release slot they had previously assigned to former Fast and the Furious film franchise director Justin Lin who was poised to chart the film that continues the story of the Aaron Cross character introduced in 2012's "The Bourne Legacy" and played by Jeremy Renner.

'Legacy featured Cross as a member of the black ops program Operation Outcome whose agents are genetically enhanced.  Bourne's actions as chronicled in 2007's The Bourne Ultimatum force the public exposure of Outcome's earlier incarnations - Treadstone and Blackbriar - Cross goes on the run as the agency races to shut Outcome down and kill its agents.

Lin and Renner would make their spin-off as well
