 Matt Damon
Spotlight By: Rocco Passafuime
*Click here for another interview with Matt Damon!* Matt Damon is one of Hollywood’s top actors and there is literally no limit to how dedicated he is. His diverse palette of great roles range the gamut from films like Good Will Hunting (which he also co-wrote with fellow actor and longtime friend Ben Affleck, giving him his first Oscar for Best Screenplay), The Talented Mr. Ripley, Dogma, Stuck On You, and the Ocean’s series. Matt’s most popular film role as of late is as amnesiac CIA assassin Jason Bourne in the popular Bourne series, based on best-selling novels by author Robert Ludlum. After the successes of 2002’s The Bourne Identity and 2004’s The Bourne Supremacy, Damon now reprises his role in The Bourne Ultimatum. In Ultimatum, Bourne continues to be hunted by the CIA and will finally learn his true identity, making this entry purportedly the final chapter in what is a trilogy. But knowing all too well how Hollywood works with successful franchises regardless of story logistics, we asked the now 36-year-old actor to set the record straight on whether this was the final Bourne film for him. “I made that comment at Cannes, when we were about nine months into shooting the movie. I went, ‘I’m never doing this again!’” says Matt, “But I think in terms of another one, the story of this guy’s search for his identity is over.” “He’s got all the answers,” he adds, “So there’s no way we could trot out the same character and so much of what makes him interesting was that internal stuggle that was happening for him. Am I a good guy? Am I a bad guy? What is the secret behind my identity? What am I blocking out? Why am I remembering these images, these disturbing images? So all of that internal, compulsive mechanism that drives the character is not there. So if there was to be another one, there would have to be a complete reconfiguration, where do you go from there? I feel like for me, the story we set out to tell has now been told.” However, Damon does note that he is not closed to the possibility of doing another Bourne film if a really good idea for a sequel came along. “I love the character,” he notes, “And if Paul Greengrass calls me in ten years and says, ‘Now we can do it, ‘cause it’s been ten years and we have a way to bring him back,’ then there’s a world where I can go, ‘Oh, yeah, absolutely.’ If we could get the band back together and if there was a great idea, kind of, but now, in terms of this story, the story’s been told. If we came out with a fourth one and suddenly, I got bonked on the head, I mean you guys would be like, ‘Are you kidding me?!’ I actually talked to somebody ... |
