No title has yet been settled on for a fourth film. The next "Bourne" film may be going back to the books for its storyline thanks to Universal's recent first look deal for late author Robert Ludlum's collection.
"We now have access to all the Ludlum story ideas. We're going to make the fourth movie from them" says Marshall who confirms that both he and scribe George Nolfi are the only ones signed onto the project for the moment.
Despite using the same titles as the books, it's really only the first half of "The Bourne Identity" that was notably similar to the book. The subsequent Paul Greengrass-directed sequels bared little to no relation to the Bourne books.
Now, in a move similar to the James Bond franchise, elements from other novels by Ludlum will be incorporated into a fourth film's story. According to Marshall it will be the non-Bourne thriller "The Parsifal Mosiac" that will likely serve as the main thrust of a fourth film's story.
In 'Mosaic', an American spy falls in love with another spy who is revealed to be a double agent just before her death. When he retires from the business, he learns she may still be alive and sets out to learn the truth.
The fourth "Bourne" film has no name yet.
