Greengrass go for Bourne Ultimatum
Paul Greengrass has confirmed that he's doing The Bourne Ultimatum, and he's raving enthusiastically about it.
Over at EmpireEmpire he speaks out about it with some strength:
"We've got a script and we're underway. It’s a new story, completely different from the novel. It was written by Tony Gilroy and Tom Stoppard. It's going to have all the excitement you’d expect from a Bourne film and all the intensity you'd expect from a Bourne story. I can’t wait – it’s just going to be fuckin' fantastic......It's going to rock. That’s honestly what it's going to do. What direction? We’ll have a better car chase, have more exciting action, more intensity and just generally be a fuckin' classy film. I think Matt Damon's looking forward to it like I am. It’s going to be an absolute laugh."
Well a lot of people know how I feel about these series, the increasing reliance on overly shaking cameras, rammed close up to the action, usually means you can't actually discern what's happening onscreen, and your mind pieces it together with flashes of action coupled with what happens after the scene. If they could just pull the camera back a little and did a little less shaky cam, it would be a great series.
That aside, I'm really surprised they didn't ask him much about the soon to be completed Flight 93...
