Bourne 4 coming in 2011

You heard it here, on Kevin's movie blog first, unless you saw it on another movie blog, but I urge you to forget that and just go with me on this one that you saw it here first....anyway... The fourth movie in the series has been given the green light to start filming with Matt Damon reprising his role as Jason Bourne, the bad ass with the bad memory.
The interesting part is, the first three movies were based of a best selling book series of three books, so the fourth will have to be independent of the books, and actually create a story for the character. Will this be the end of the great movies? Will the story telling fall flat on it's face? Will Batman and Robin get out of this alive? Stay tuned, same bat-time, same bat-channel. Ok, but seriously, this will be a big difference that could make the movie even better, no longer confined to the constraints of a dead medium, or it could lean on poor storytellers and be like Quantum of Solace. Which do you think is more likely, and will you go see the fourth Bourne?
And, more importantly, what will the title be, I mean, Bourne Supremacy was good, and how do you get better than Bourne Ultimatum? Bourne Finale? Bourne Again? Bad-ass Bourne and the secret of the ooze? Yes, that last one is it, I'm calling the studios right now!
Stay cool, movie geeks!
