A new Jason Bourne film has been announced to allow Paul Greengrass to use his ‘Bourne free’ pun that always cracks everyone up.
“Yeah, Bourne free, how have I never used that before,” wondered the acclaimed director best known for being Matt Damon’s second-best friend.
“I mean, I’ve been saying that at dinner parties for years and everyone eats it up. I mean, it’s Bourne, because he’s Jason Bourne, and Bourne free, like Born Free – the classic film and song. Hilarious.”
“I can’t believe I went with Bourne Legacy and Bourne Ultimatum. As for just calling the last one Jason Bourne? When I had Bourne Free in my back pocket? What the hell was I thinking?”
The Captain Phillips director confirmed that, as yet, there was no storyline in place.
“No, no, I’ve basically got a good pun. But never underestimate the power of a good pun. Ask the Beatles.
“I guess it’s going to have to be something about Jason Bourne breaking free from something, a terrifying government mind-control conspiracy perhaps, or a gym membership, or perhaps a terrifying government mind-control conspiracy masquerading as a gym membership.”
If successful, Bourne Free will almost certainly be followed up with Bourne in the USA or Bourne Lucky.
Ooo, or what about Bourne to be Wild?
