  19th June 2015 - Julia Stiles Returning
  
  
  EXCLUSIVE: The fourth installment of The Bourne Identity franchise (and third with Paul Greengrass) has begun casting up, and the first confirmed star beyond Matt Damon is Julia Stiles. She has closed a deal to reprise her role as covert agent Nicky Parsons in Universal Pictures’ Untitled Next Bourne Chapter. Stiles appeared in the first three films, emerging as an ally for the amnesiac assassin title character Jason Bourne. Let’s hope they bring back Joan Allen, who also has been a galvanizing figure in the franchise. Deadline revealed that Ex Machina star Alicia Vikander was being sought for a major role, but Stiles is the first cast member we’ve confirmed so far. Stiles will be been next in Beyond Deceit opposite Al Pacino and Go With Me opposite Anthony Hopkins.

  8th November 2014 - Matt Damon Confirms New ‘Bourne’ For 2016
  
  
  As Matt Damon looks for a career bounce-back, he’ll be diving into the sci-fi genre over the next couple of years. The actor is currently working on Ridley Scott’s The Martian (due November 2015), and this week signed on for Alexander Payne’s satirical project, Downsizing.
  
  He’ll also be returning to action in one of his most iconic roles, that of Jason Bourne. A couple of months ago, it was reported that Damon would once again portray the super-spy in Bourne 5, with his old friend Paul Greengrass back in the director’s chair. The caveat there was that the duo was “in talks,” meaning that things could have theoretically fallen through, but that’s not the case. Damon has now confirmed he will be back.

  16th April 2013 - Film In Development
  
  Neither The Bourne Legacy nor Snow White and the Huntsman brought in in as much dough as Universal probably wanted; not to mention, each film was given an overall lukewarm critical reception. Nonetheless, each managed to gross more than double their $125 million and $170 million budget, respectively, worldwide in theaters, and so Bourne 5 and a Snow White sequel are both on the horizon.
  
  Universal Chairman Adam Fogelson is present for the ongoing 2013 CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where he announced that Bourne 5 is more than just talk now, and has entered the active development stage; meanwhile, the Snow White followup is tentatively slated to arrive in theaters within two years’ time (i.e. by 2015).
  
  Fogelson, according to the CinemaCon event report from Collider, described that (currently untitled) fifth Bourne installment as something that Universal is “actively working” on, but did not reveal whether that means Bourne franchise screenwriter Tony Gilroy – who both wrote and directed The Bourne Legacy – has begun to write the project, or is even involved at all right now.
