‘I have moved on,’ he told me. ’I finished [Green Zone] in July, had the summer off, and I came back and thought I could find a way to get engaged and make [a fourth Bourne film], [but] I thought in my head there were so many other things and films I wanted to make.

I didn’t feel like I had anything else to contribute. It just happens with franchises; you get to a point where you feel like you’ve done it.

‘They need to find someone else to come in to take it in a new direction I wouldn’t have thought of and it will be better.

Now with this new twist on the Bourne series, and the fact that actor Matt Damon has clearly told reporters that he would only come back for another Bourne movie only if Greengrass is on board, what is to be of the series? Will it just fade away, or will Universal Pictures try to find another way to bring Damon back in and still have a new director?

That most likely does not look good at all for Universal Pictures since they’ve been working with Greengrass for awhile with this franchise. Matt Damon has previously stated that he only shows interest in the series only if Greengrass is on board. Now that’s he’s jumped ship, it’s not looking good for the studio to keep the popular actor.
