The Bourne franchise, created by author Robert Ludlum, may soon undergo a creative transformation similar to James Bond’s, given that Universal no longer holds exclusive rights. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, the estate of Robert Ludlum is exploring the sale of not just the Bourne saga but also the entirety of Ludlum’s literary works. Potential buyers could include streaming platforms like Netflix and Apple TV, with Universal still having a chance to reacquire the rights if they can match the financial offers from these giants.
This development follows closely on the heels of Amazon gaining full creative authority over the James Bond series, implying that when these two major action/espionage epics reappear, either in cinemas or on television, they might sport quite distinct styles.
The report indicates that Ludlum’s representatives have held discussions with Netflix, Apple, and Sundance, aiming to revive the franchise after its long hiatus. Given that Matt Damon last portrayed the mysterious Jason Bourne nearly a decade ago, and plans for a reboot or sequel have been stalled for years, it appears there’s a strong push to jumpstart the project in a way that Universal hasn’t managed thus far.
