      Is this like a sequel to inception as well?

      Oh these are all separate ideas aren’t they?

        Have four spec scripts ready to go. Two for the John Wick crossover. And five more for the reboot when Damon starts moving like Roger Moore in Octopussy. Just waiting for the studio greenlight and insurance clearance.

      Also, a phone call with the scrupulous hound-dog chasing him where he is alarmingly close by but still one step ahead.

    I watched a brilliant analysis a while back about what the first Bourne movie would be like if it was limited to only Bourne’s perspective, progressing through the story following only him, and discovering things about his identity and past only at the times he himself does.

    It honestly seemed brilliant, and I’d love them to take some risks and make a movie like that, something different that stands a chance of becoming iconic.

    What I think we’ll actually get is yet another generic spy thriller that fails to achieve even half what the original Bourne Identity did. But there we go.

    Will it be another movie, or will they just reboot it as a tv series?
