Matt Damon and returning director Paul Greengrass have been busy globe-trotting as they shoot the next, still-untitled Bourne film. And though you might think casting might be complete at this point, you’d be in error, as Bridge Of Spies’ Scott Shepherd is now aboard.
There is still no proper plot synopsis for what former government asset Jason Bourne will be up to this time, though Damon has said it’ll reflect our financially risky times and is firmly set in a post-Edward Snowden world. And the last time we saw him, Bourne was doing some whistleblowing of his own, releasing the information about the illegal program codenamed Treadstone that created him and then going firmly off the grid. He’s clearly been drawn back on to it for a good reason, and we know he’ll face some tough opposition in the form of Vincent Cassel’s assassin.
Shepherd has been recruited to play the deputy director of the CIA, which means he’ll be working alongside Tommy Lee Jones and Julia Stiles’ Nicky. Alicia Vikander, Neve Gachev and Ato Essandoh all make up part of the cast for the movie, which will hit our screens on July 29 next year.
Bridge Of Spies, the new Steven Spielberg/Tom Hanks collaboration set during the Cold War, is out in the UK on November 27.
