November 11, 2003 — From a press release:
Universal Pictures has announced the start of principal photography on the espionage thriller The Bourne Supremacy, the second installment of best-selling author Robert Ludlum's "Bourne" series with Matt Damon returning as trained assassin Jason Bourne. Damon heads a cast that includes Joan Allen, Brian Cox, Julia Stiles, Karl Urban and Franka Potente.
The film is produced by Frank Marshall, Pat Crowley and Paul L. Sandberg and is directed by Paul Greengrass (writer/director of Bloody Sunday) from a screenplay by Tony Gilroy (The Bourne Identity), based on Ludlum's book.
The Bourne Supremacy re-enters the shadowy world of expert assassin Bourne (Damon), who continues to find himself plagued by splintered nightmares from his former life. The stakes are now even higher for the agent as he coolly maneuvers through the dangerous waters of international espionage-replete with CIA plots, turncoat agents and ever-shifting covert alliances-all the while hoping to find the truth behind his haunted memories and answers to his own fragmented past.
Compelling use of exotic worldwide locations and the muscular cinematic edge brought by vanguard director Greengrass maintain the aggressive style and fresh, non-traditional perspective established in The Bourne Identity.
Joining Greengrass is a talented production team behind the camera, including director of photography Oliver Wood, production designer Dominic Watkins, costume designer Dinah Collin, editor Christopher Rouse and special effects supervisor Kit West.
The film, which is shooting on location in Germany, Russia and India, is scheduled for release by Universal Pictures in 2004.
