Matt Damon Quits "Bourne" Franchise

Actor Matt Damon will quit playing assassin Jason Bourne after the third film is released this summer. Damon wants someone else to take on the role - created by author Robert Ludlum - and make it their own.

Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival, Damon says, "I'm definitely done with that. I think we've ridden that horse as far as we can. The character lives on in the books and if someone else wanted to play it it, I guess they could."

The first two films (Bourne Identity, Bourne Supremacy) have earner over $500 million worldwide theatrically, and Damon is looking to release the third installment (Bourne Ultimatum) on August 3rd.

    Why worry about "a finished story" when the movie plotlines have absolutely nothing to do with the books except for the titles? In Ludlum's novels, David Webb takes on the Bourne identity in order to lure another, more famous, assassin out long enough to put him down. It's very convenient for Damon to say "I'm done!" after they've run out of book titles to steal. LOL!

    There is actually a 4th book. It was written later and with or by someone else (Eric Van Lustbader). Its called the Bourne Legacy. It was not as good as the others.

    if you try and add on to a story that has already been completed it will suck. there should be no 4th

    I loved all of the Bourne films. But if Matt Damon isn't going to be in any of the rest, then I'm sorry to say I probably will not watch them. I really dislike it when a film has sequels without the original actor/actress as the main character.
