Common has misplaced the rights to the Jason Bourne franchise, with Netflix, Apple, Skydance & extra mentioned to have an interest.
THR experiences that Jason Bourne is searching for a brand new residence. The motion franchise has been at Common Photos for over twenty years, however the rights to Jason Bourne have reverted again to the Robert Ludlum property.
WME is procuring the rights to different studios and streamers on behalf of Ludlum’s property, with the purpose being to “find a new home for the franchise and make the superspy a more regular presence onscreen.” Skydance, Apple, and Netflix have reportedly met with the property, and even Common may win again the rights in the event that they’re prepared to shell out the money. It’s not sure if Matt Damon will proceed to be concerned, however you’ll think about that whichever studio secures the rights would need to make a contemporary begin.
Based mostly on Robert Ludlum’s novels, Jason Bourne was launched to the massive display with The Bourne Id in 2002. The movie was an enormous success and was adopted by The Bourne Supremacy in 2004, The Bourne Ultimatum in 2007, The Bourne Legacy in 2012, and Jason Bourne in 2016. There was speak of a new Bourne film in 2023, with All Quiet on the Western Entrance director Edward Berger in negotiations to helm the venture, but it surely didn’t come collectively.
Though the final Bourne film did comparatively properly on the field workplace (taking in $415 million worldwide), the response was combined. Even Damon acknowledged the collective ‘meh’ from audiences. “This last one didn’t do as well as the one we did 10 years ago, so maybe people are done with the character,” Damon mentioned. “I feel everyone is leaving the door open, as we did on the finish of this film, in hopes that we will provide you with an intriguing story for the subsequent one.“
It’s too early to say the place the Jason Bourne franchise will find yourself, however within the wake of Amazon taking management of the James Bond franchise, it’s exhausting to consider one more basic spy franchise falling beneath the umbrella of a streaming service.
