In January, we reported that Sacha Baron Cohen, best known for his characters Borat and Ali G, had been cast in Steven Spielberg's upcoming feature The Trial of the Chicago Seven. And while it still looks like Cohen's involved in the film, Spielberg is bowing out due to his commitments to about five other projects. Film School Rejects noticed that Production Weekly added Paul Greengrass to the film's listing, and though no official confirmation has been announced, suspicions that Spielberg would postpone the project have been around for months.

In January, we reported that Sacha Baron Cohen, best known for his characters Borat and Ali G, had been cast in Steven Spielberg's upcoming feature The Trial of the Chicago Seven. And while it still looks like Cohen's involved in the film, Spielberg is bowing out due to his commitments to about five other projects. Film School Rejects noticed that Production Weekly added Paul Greengrass to the film's listing, and though no official confirmation has been announced, suspicions that Spielberg would postpone the project have been around for months.
A lengthy article in Variety recently detailed Universal's changing environment and expanding content. It's an informative piece that is well and good if you work in the industry, but it's deciding less exciting stuff for the everyday movie goer. Hidden amidst its depths, though, was an announcement that Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon will be back for a fourth Bourne film.
After the release of The Bourne Ultimatum last summer, Greengrass and Damon were "ready to wrap [the franchise] up." Ultimatum also concluded the three-film story arc, making it surprising that things could continue. Not that surprising, though, as each of the series' films has made more money than the last.
While Robert Ludlum only wrote three books in the Bourne series, after he died, the series was continued by Eric Van Lustbader with The Bourne Legacy and The Bourne Betrayal. Since Supremacy, the series has veered farther away from its source material, and there's a good chance that the only resemblance the new films will have to Lustbader's novels will be in their titles.
