Give me a Break

Dear Hollywood,

Matt Damon IS Jason Bourne. No Matt Damon, no Bourne.

Jason said he's always been up for the next film, but only if the script was as good as the rest of the trilogy. If he said no, then well, I'll leave the conclusion up to you about the quality.

I like Jeremy Renner as an actor, but you're right: Matt Damon is Jason Bourne, not Renner or anyone else. I really love those movies, but it just won't be the same Damon-less.

I would also like to cast my vote for a little more originality in Hollywood. Surely they have enough good judges of scripts and movies to know if something is going to be reasonably good and worth the risk, rather than rehashing past success. And why do they think something that was successful before will automatically be successful in its retelling? Baffling. Maybe the numbers support that, I don't know.

Let's make new movies! Then in like 10 years, we can remake them and capitalize on past success forever. ;-P

Hollywood is nothing but a recycle of old ideas. Even the Indie circuit is fairly flooded by big studios hiding behind something else.

I will not be watching this new generation of Bourne films.
