Anyone missing Jason Bourne? Well, here's some news for you.
Matt Damon returning as Jason Bourne? We thought we’d never see the day. Indeed, the actor has confirmed that he will reprise his iconic role as the agent with a vendetta and a mysterious past for the next Bourne movie. Yes, everything is alright, the world is at peace again.
Damon is reportedly working on his Bourne-esque physique. Affleck - not so much.
Damon’s pal and collaborator Ben Affleck let the news slip during a recent interview with E! News. The connection: Affleck and Damon were being interviewed about their resurrected passion project, Project Greenlight. The show, set to air again on HBO, follows aspiring filmmakers as they get the chance to work on their first very own feature film.

That sounded absolutely natural and spontaneous, right? No need to answer that, actually.
"Yes, next year," Damon responded to E! News when asked for clarification. "It'll be in 2016 when the movie will actually come out. [Director] Paul Greengrass is going to do another one and that's all I ever said. I just needed him to say yes."
So, yes. Catch Project Greenlight on HBO or something. More importantly, can we get three cheers for the return of Jason Bourne?
