Matt Damon – Interview
THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM – MATT DAMON (Jason Bourne)
It’s hard to imagine now, but there were those who doubted that Matt Damon was the right actor to play Jason Bourne. As the third eagerly awaited instalment in the series, The Bourne Ultimatum, nears release Damon and the tortured former black operations agent he plays so well are as one in the collective mind of the huge audience waiting for the film
But at the time of the first movie, The Bourne Identity, back in 2002, Damon, as he himself admits, wasn’t exactly flavour of the month in Hollywood. “Basically what you are saying is that it saved my ass and that’s completely true,” he laughs. “The weekend that it opened I was doing a play in the West End (of London) and I hadn’t had a film offer in six months because I’d had a couple of movies tank.
“And the word was that the first Bourne movie was going to tank, because it had been delayed so long and it had so many rounds of re-shooting, and it just had all the hallmarks of a turkey.”

New Bourne Ultimatum Trailer
The full new trailer for Universal Pictures’ The Bourne Ultimatum is now online and can be watched via this link! Directed by Paul Greengrass, the sequel stars Matt Damon Julia Stiles, Joan Allen, David Strathairn, Paddy Considine and Edgar Ramirez. It opens on August 3.
The Bourne Ultimatum First Look
SlashFilm.com has a first look on The Bourne Ultimatum, go to the site to see the pictures!
“Matt Damon is back again for the third film in the Bourne Identity series which hits theaters on August 3rd 2007. It is expected that The Bourne Ultimatum will have a completely different plot from Robert Ludlum’s bestselling novel. The movie co-stars Joan Allen, Paddy Considine, Edgar Ramirez, Julia Stiles, and David Strathairn.
You have to love the Bourne series as it brings intelligence back to the Spy film, but at the same time holds no bunches in terms of action.
The latest installment follows Bourne’s journey to Madrid, Moscow, and Paris to NYC and Tangier to hunt down his past in order to find a future, all the while trying to outmaneuver the scores of federal officers, Interpol agents, and police officers.”
Matt Damon Talks About “The Good Shepherd”
Matt Damon stars as one of the agents who got in on the ground floor of the CIA in the dramatic movie The Good Shepherd directed by Robert De Niro and co-starring Angelina Jolie. De Niro’s second directorial effort focuses on the early days of the CIA and how involvement in the ultra-secretive organization plays havoc with one man’s life.
How difficult was it to give life to a very unemotional character, to make him human enough that the audience will want to watch this guy for three hours?
“I was nervous about that and I think with another director I would have given into my fear and indicated more and pushed it more, and been a little more over the top. The reality was that he just insisted on absolute emotional honesty and subtlety all the time. I think something that I certainly have fallen victim to in the past is, because I’m also a writer, you look at every scene and you deconstruct the script. You go, ‘Okay, this scene is in the movie for this reason. The audience needs to come away with this.’ Which as a writer, you can do that, but as an actor that’s deadly. You can’t think in those terms or else you’re going to end up just pulling faces and indicating, and ultimately losing the movie because people don’t believe what you’re doing.

Also from the Official Site, which I had to quote cause it’s so funny:
If there are film-goers in a territory where the film is not currently listed to open, fear not, as plans are fast coming together. All interested parties in these locales are instructed to sit on a soft surface low to the ground and take deep breaths. When calm returns, check back here at the official website to see if we have updated the release schedule. If we have not, and panic begins to take hold again, repeat the above remedy, but this time, with eyes closed, also whistle your particular countries national anthem. Do not stop whistling until we have updated the website. This will of course require the help of a good and sighted friend.
