Matt Damon to Star in Clint Eastwood’s “Hereafter”
Matt Damon will star in supernatural thriller “Hereafter,” Clint Eastwood’s next producing-directing project for Warner Bros. Pictures, set to begin shooting this fall.
Peter Morgan, who got an Oscar nomination for “Frost/Nixon,” wrote the script. Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall, Morgan and Tim Moore are executive producing. Spielberg previously worked as producer on Eastwood’s “Flags Of Our Fathers” and “Letters From Iwo Jima.”
Not much has been said about what Damon’s role will be in the film. All we know, is that he’ll star as the lead character.
“Bourne 4″ Moving Ahead With Nolfi Penning
Universal is moving forward with a fourth Jason Bourne movie, tentatively titled “Bourne 4“. The Bourne Ultimatum writer George Nolfi has been hired to pen the sequel. Nolfi’s other credits include The Sentinel, Ocean’s Twelve and Timeline.
Director Paul Greengrass and star Matt Damon are attached to the new film. The film will be produced by Frank Marshall and executive produced by Jeffrey Weiner and Henry Morrison.
This Bourne movie may still however, end up being significantly different from the others. The first three movies were loosely based on a series of books by Robert Ludlum. There is a fourth book, but it wasn’t written by Ludlum and back in June, producer Frank Marshall indicated they’d ignore the fourth book and go their own direction with the series. At the time, he hinted that Bourne may be skipping out on his European locales for a trip to South America, and if previous talk turns out to be true, they should start shooting it this coming summer.
The first three films have brought in a combined total of $524 million at the domestic box-office.
”Bourne 4” in 2010!
In early 2008, there were some rumors around the possibility of Universal Pictures making another “Bourne” movie.
“Bourne” producers Frank Marshall and Tom Crowley recently unveiled that the speculation is true.
Marshall and Crowley confirmed to IESB that the fourth Bourne film is indeed on the way.
“Hopefully we will be shooting next summer for release in 2010, ” Marshall said.
On the story, Marshall suggested that they have been working on the storyline because the fourth novel is not being written by Robert Ludlum.
“There was a fourth book written, but it was not by Mr. Ludlum. So we’re probably going to take our own direction and we’re working on what that storyline’s gonna be right now.”
About whether Bourne will return to America the producer said:
“I think he’s headed down south. I think he’s headed to South America.”
