Universal Pictures has made an overall deal with the estate of The Bourne Identity author Robert Ludlum, that gives the studio exclusive rights to the Jason Bourne character and first look at other Ludlum novels.
The deal with Ludlum Entertainment paves the way for more installments in the Bourne saga, which was originally envisioned as a 3 picture series but has become Universal's answer to James Bond.
After the first 3 films grossed a total of more than $US 1 billion worldwide, Universal signed Matt Damon and
director Paul Greengrass for a fourth film that George Nolfi is penning. Produced by Frank Marshall and
Ludlum Entertainment chairman-CEO Jeffrey Weiner, the film will be readied for a summer 2010 release.
