Back in 2007, on the press trail stumping for The
Bourne Ultimatum, the third in the then-trilogy of espionage
actioners, Matt Damon appeared on The Daily Show. In the course
of the conversation, the actor said he and director Paul Greengrass, who also
helmed The Bourne Supremacy, joked that the next movie would
be called The Bourne Redundancy. It’s been nine years, with an
attempted franchise reboot sandwiched in the middle (2012’s lackluster
The Bourne Legacy), but with the simply titled
Jason Bourne, Damon and Greengrass finally delivered on that
promise, in spirit if not in name.
