Universal has permanently secured the rights to Robert Ludlum's 'Jason Bourne' series and is moving forward with plans for a new film.

According to Deadline, NBCUniversal has outmaneuvered competitors to permanently acquire the rights to the Jason Bourne book series and the Treadstone series. This ensures the continuation of the relationship between the studio and the franchise that has lasted for the past 20 years.

Director Edward Berger's Participation Confirmed

It has been confirmed that the new Jason Bourne film directed by Edward Berger, which has been discussed since November 2023, is still in the development stage. After winning the Academy Award and BAFTA for 'All Quiet on the Western Front', Berger has shown interest in this project.

Having directed 'The Conclave' this year and preparing to produce 'Ballad of a Small Player', it is expected that Director Berger will bring new vitality to the Jason Bourne series.

Screenwriter Joe Barton's Script Completed

Notably, Joe Barton, the creator of 'Black Doves' and 'The Lazarus Project', has already completed the script. With Barton's expertise in the dynamic and action-packed spy thriller genre, expectations for the quality of the new Bourne film are rising.

Possibility of Matt Damon's Return

There is also a possibility that Matt Damon will return to the role of Jason Bourne in this project. Damon has established himself as the face of the franchise, having played the lead role in four Bourne films from 2002 to 2016.

Preparing for a Return After 10 Years

The last time the Jason Bourne character appeared on screen was in 2016's 'Jason Bourne'. After more than a decade of hiatus, this franchise is preparing to return in a new form.

With five Bourne films, video games, and even a Universal Studios stunt show produced so far, fans are eagerly anticipating the day this franchise meets audiences once again.

Development Stage, Production Confirmation Pending

However, it should be clarified that the Jason Bourne film involving Berger and Barton is currently in the development stage. Production has not yet been confirmed, and formal approval has not been received.

Nevertheless, the news of the assassin with amnesia returning to the screen has generated great excitement among fans.
