Quietly it was recently announced that the Jason Bourne movie franchise would be getting another installment from Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass. The existing films comprise one of the few complete trilogies, meaning no weak installment(s) that become forgotten or blocked out by fans. A fourth film is certainly something to look forward to even after plenty of us picked up the slick box set of the first three movies.
The second film, The Bourne Supremacy, stands as my favorite for several reasons, but particularly for the ending. The conversation between Bourne and the daughter left orphaned by his past actions followed by the shot of him walking away from her apartment building in the snow is haunting in the way I love films to be. The Bourne trilogy has the rarest blend of quality characters, story, and action all with a good dramatic weight to it. When the tv series, Alias, ended, I moved to getting my spy fix from Jason Bourne and am glad not to have to look for the next series just yet.
