Producer Frank Marshall revealed to IESB that the plan is begin shooting the fourth Jason Bourne movie next summer, for release in 2010. As reported back in February, director Paul Greengrass and star Matt Damon are set to return. Marshall also confirmed that they’ll probably be creating an original story for the movie (predicting that Bourne will be headed to South America), since creator/author Robert Ludlum only wrote three books and wasn’t involved in the later books in the series:
IESB: The Bourne series, are we going to see another one?
Frank Marshall: Oh absolutely, Bourne 4…Hopefully we’re going to be shooting next summer for release in 2010.
IESB: Do you know which way the story is headed, is it going to be the next book?
FM: No actually, there was a fourth book written, but it was not by Mr. Ludlum, so we’re probably going to take our own direction, and we’re working on what that storyline is going to be right now.

Anthony Michael Hall, who played psychic Johnny Smith on USA Network’s The Dead Zone, told SCI FI Wire that there is talk about doing a movie based on the television series, and that though he isn’t that optimistic of its chances, is open to doing the film.
“There’s talk about it,” Hall told SCI FI Wire. “I don’t think we had the size of a cult following that, let’s say, The X-Files did. You look at Sex and the City or The X-Files, these movies were done long after the shows pumped out their last episodes.”
Regardless of how things shake out, Hall remains grateful to the opportunites he was given on the show.
“I would certainly be open to the potential for [a reunion feature],” he said. “I would never turn my back on what [the show’s late producer] Michael Piller did for me. He gave me this incredible opportunity. When I look back at [my] career, I view him and John Hughes as almost guardian angels of my career.”
