Yahoo! have released the first trailer for Green Zone which stars Matt Damon as a warrant officer who helps a senior CIA officer in the search for weapons of mass destruction. Yes, this is an Iraq film. A $100 million Iraq film to be exact, which was a risky move from Universal as these types of films haven’t exactly blown up the box office.

Damon is reunited with Paul Greengrass who directed him in The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum, and as a result it has a Bourne vibe to it. Watch below:

Green Zone will be released next March.

Bourne 4 in 2011

Frank Marshall, producer of the Bourne trilogy, updated his Twitter profile with the following messages:

Bourne4 is in the works for Summer 2011…
George Nolfi is the writer of Bourne4, should have a draft by June.

If they keep on target this would mean Bourne 4 should start filming sometime next year. Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass have already signed up to return, and George Nolfi wrote The Bourne Ultimatum so we can expect a film as good as the previous ones.

With producers, directors and actors revealing information on Twitter we can expect more of these mini updates.

Universal have got themselves the exclusive rights to the Jason Bourne character and first look at other Robert Ludlum novels, according to Variety.

The deal with Ludlum Entertainment paves the way for more installments in the Bourne saga, which was originally envisioned as a three-picture series but has become Universal’s answer to James Bond.

After the first three films grossed a total of more than $1 billion worldwide, Universal signed Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass for a fourth film that George Nolfi is writing. The film is expected to be readied for the summer of 2010.

George Nolfi Writing Bourne 4

Universal have decided that a Bourne trilogy is simply not enough, and have hired George Nolfi to write the script for Bourne 4, according to Variety. He co-wrote the screenplay for The Bourne Ultimatum so it probably won’t be crappy, however he will be writing an original story, not an adaptation of one of Robert Ludlum’s novels.

Director Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon are attached, but the question is: Do we want a fourth film?
