Studio Universal then made the decision to retool the series with a new actor in the main role, but crucially not as Bourne. Tony Gilroy, who wrote the first three films, will step up to the director&#039;s role for The Bourne Legacy, which is due out in 2012.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;I was always fine with them doing another Bourne movie as long as it didn&#039;t preclude me and Paul from doing another Bourne,&quot; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.shortlist.com/entertainment/films/matt-damon#image-rotator-1&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;Damon told Shortlist.com&lt;/a&gt; . &quot;From what I understand, it doesn&#039;t at all, so that&#039;s fine. I really want to do another one with Paul and I&#039;m sure it&#039;ll happen someday, but for now they&#039;re doing this. And I&#039;m a huge Jeremy Renner fan. I&#039;m sure he&#039;ll be great. I&#039;m keeping hope, man.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Damon will next be seen on the big screen in the Steven Soderbergh thriller &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/movie/142865/contagion&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;Contagion&lt;/a&gt; , also starring Laurence Fishburne, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet and Marion Cotillard, which arrives on British screens later this month. He also takes the lead in the upcoming Cameron Crowe-directed drama &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/movie/142859/we-bought-a-zoo&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;We Bought a Zoo&lt;/a&gt; , opposite Scarlett Johansson, which is out in the UK in December.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;related&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/mattdamon&quot;&gt;Matt Damon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/actionandadventure&quot;&gt;Action and adventure&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/crime&quot;&gt;Crime&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/paulgreengrass&quot;&gt;Paul Greengrass&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;author&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/benchild&quot;&gt;Ben Child&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;terms&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk&quot;&gt;guardian.co.uk&lt;/a&gt; &amp;copy; 2011 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
