the usual rant

Film The Bourne Ultimatum has been announced, and this the only thing it has in common with the book is the title. Which means I'll probably be getting the usual rant from my father when it comes out. He's a Robert Ludlum fan you see. Me, I look at a paperback that's fifteen hundred pages long with very small writing printed on what looks like tissue paper and thank the lord that a great story can still be told in about two hours on a cinema screen. The imdb entry lacks a director though I was under the impression that Paul Greengrass was returning. I would assume this will tell the story of how Bourne claws his identity back. [via]
