Universal nabs exclusive rights to Bourne novels and remaining Ludlum library
Posted: November 22nd, 2008, 8:04am CST by Hot Momma
Tags: matt damon
After the first three films grossed a total of more than $1 billion worldwide, Universal Pictures has made an overall deal with the estate of “The Bourne Identity” author Robert Ludlum that gives the studio exclusive rights to the Jason Bourne character and first look at other Ludlum novels. Universal has already signed Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass for a fourth film that George Nolfi is writing. Produced by Frank Marshall and Ludlum Entertainment chairman-CEO Jeffrey Weiner, the film will be readied for a summer 2010 release.“Universal has done such an excellent job with the first three films that they deserve the opportunity to keep Jason Bourne at the studio forever,” Weiner told Daily Variety. Weiner was the author’s accountant for 16 years before being tapped by Ludlum to be estate executor and to run the holding company that produces his movies and publishes his books and videogames.
The deal with Ludlum Entertainment paves the way for more installments in the Bourne saga, which was originally envisioned as a three-picture series but has become Universal’s answer to James Bond.
Universal is developing another Ludlum book, “The Sigma Protocol,” with Strike Entertainment partners Marc Abraham and Eric Newman. Summit Entertainment has “The Osterman Weekend,” with Simon Kinberg set to write and direct.
And there are plenty more where those came from. Ludlum titles routinely turn into seven-figure packages, including the $4 million Paramount paid for “The Chancellor Manuscript” in 2005, with Leonardo DiCaprio attached to star and produce with Red Wagon. “There is a deep Ludlum library. Over 25 of his novels have never been exploited in movies,” Weiner said. He recalled that Ludlum watched a couple of his titles get turned into movies during the early 1980s, and he was underwhelmed by the result. The author died while “The Bourne Identity” was in production. Now, the estate has contractual approval not only on screenplays but also on characters and even actors, Weiner said.
Universal did miss out on “The Matarese Circle” when that Ludlum Cold War thriller was shopped last April, with Denzel Washington attached along with “Wanted” scribes Michael Brandt and Derek Haas. MGM won the auction; they’ve set David Cronenberg to direct a film expected to begin production next year.

The studio behind the Matt Damon-starring Bourne film franchise, Universal, has just secured the rights to anything and everything Jason Bourne and more!
According to Variety, in an overall deal with the estate of The Bourne Identity author, Robert Ludlum , the studio has exclusive rights to the Jason Bourne character and a 'first look' at other Ludlum novels.
This apparently paves the way for many, many more installments of the Bourne saga.
Bourne was originally envisioned as a three-picture series but has become Universal's answer to James Bond.
The first three installments made more than $1 billion worldwide!
The fourth Bourne flick is expected to hit theaters in 2010.
More ass kicking Matt Damon = yum yum.

Fourth Bourne movie starring Matt Damon coming in 2010
Posted: November 21st, 2008, 9:41am CST by Celebitchy
Tags: matt damon
The Bourne franchise is a profitable one and Universal Pictures plans to cash in with another film following the chiseled amnesiac as he tracks down the source of the conspiracy that turned him into a killing machine. Bourne series author Robert Ludlum passed away in 2001, leaving only three Bourne books completed. Three additional books in the series have been written by Eric Van Lustbader, with another book coming out next year. There’s plenty of material to create an action series to rival James Bond, and Universal has worked out a deal with Ludlum’s estate so that they have exclusive rights to the Bourne character along with the opportunity to convert other Ludlum novels to film.Universal Pictures has made an overall deal with the estate of “The Bourne Identity” author Robert Ludlum that gives the studio exclusive rights to the Jason Bourne character and first look at other Ludlum novels.

Produced by Frank Marshall and Ludlum Entertainment chairman-CEO Jeffrey Weiner, the film will be readied for a summer 2010 release.
Weiner will take offices on the Universal lot as part of the deal and hire development executives as the company takes an active hand in developing projects, including some not based on books by Ludlum. Weiner was the author’s accountant for 16 years before being tapped by Ludlum to be estate executor and to run the holding company that produces his movies and publishes his books and videogames.
“Universal has done such an excellent job with the first three films that they deserve the opportunity to keep Jason Bourne at the studio forever,” Weiner told Daily Variety.
[From Variety]
I love the Bourne movies, they’re such a masterful mix of action and real emotion without being too glossy.
After the third movie came out last year Damon categorically said it would be his last and that “I’m definitely done with that. I think we’ve ridden that horse as far as we can. The character lives on in the books and if someone else wanted to play it, I guess they could.” He also said that he felt old doing the fight scenes at 36 and that “I definitely felt my age [on set]”
Damon is 38 now and he must have realized that a big chunk of cash for his growing family would make it worth it for him to revisit the character. He’s back in shape after gaining a lot of weight for his role as a troubled executive in the The Informant. He’ll make a good Bourne well into his 40s and there will be fans as long as he’s willing to play the role.

Matt Damon comforts his crying toddler at the airport
Posted: October 27th, 2008, 2:54am CDT by Celebitchy
Tags: matt damon
Matt Damon, his wife Luciana, and their two children were seen out at LAX airport on Friday. Damon was photographed comforting his crying daughter Isabella, two, while Luciana had their newborn Gia Zavala, two months, in a baby carrier. It’s usually stressful to go to the airport and hopefully Isabella isn’t scared by the photographers that are likely to have surrounded her family. She looks like she was crying when she got out of the car though.Damon has often talked about the joys of fatherhood. He told OK! Magazine that being a dad inspired him to start his charity, the H2O Africa Foundation, which brings clean water to remote parts of Africa. He also spoke candidly about how being a dad opened him up and changed his life:
“I think certainly once you have kids it’s hard not to see your child in every other child that you meet. And when you see the way a lot of children live in the world it makes you very angry as a parent.”
So what does the two-time dad enjoy most about having kids? “Well that’s a tough question because there’s a lot to love about it,” he explained to OK!. “It’s probably the indescribable way that a new child opens up your heart. It sounds kinda corny but it’s true.”
[From OK! Magazine]
You can tell that Damon is a great dad who gives it his all. Hopefully Isabella calmed down once they got on the plane. It’s a lot more comfortable in first or business class as they’re likely to have flown, but it’s not easy traveling with kids. I’ve been in similar situations with my son many times.
Damon is currently supporting Presidential candidate Barack Obama in his bid for the Presidency and was said to be going to Florida this weekend to help him campaign there. That is likely where his family was headed.

Triathlons Are The New Black
Posted: October 6th, 2008, 6:45pm CDT by liz
Tags: matt damon
You know how it goes in the celebrity world - one of them gets into some sort of exercise or religion and then the whole crowd follows suit.
This year's newest trend? Triathlons of course!
Last month Jennifer Lopez completed a triahtlon in Malibu, albeit under suspicious circumstances.
Now, on Sunday, Matt Damon competed in the running portion of Florida's Escape to Miami, teaming up with his stepfather Jay Jones and family friend Barry Hetherington.
Damon said his Ironman-hopeful brother talked him into the race as a way to get back into shape after gaining weight for the film The Informant. He said he needs to be in peak physical form for an upcoming project. A fourth Bourne, perhaps?
He admitted that he's still got a long way to go.
"I knew I was in trouble when the old guy with the oxygen tank passed me," he said.
When asked if he'd trade up his favorite pastime of boxing for running, Damon said he didn't think so. His stepfather joked that Damon was the "team's weakest link."
Damon came in 27th place of his leg of the race, greeted by wife Luciana Bozán Barroso and the couple's newborn daughter Gia and a couple of fans who were more than a little surprised at Damon's presence. After all, he was a late entry into the race.
It was Edgardo Velez - a 20-year old student at the University of Puerto Rico in Poncé - who took the prize for Escape to Miami.
Maybe next time, Matt!

Matt Damon finishes Escape to Miami triathalon, in a manner of speaking
Posted: October 6th, 2008, 2:02pm CDT by Ceilidh
Tags: matt damon
Matt Damon crossed the finish line in the Escape to Miami Triathalon as part of a team of three on Sunday. Encouraged to participate to get into shape for his next movie by his brother, Kyle, Damon finished his 6.2 mile portion of the race in just under an hour. Kyle Damon, who is training for the Ironman competition, finished the entire triathalon in 2 hours, 23 minutes and 40 seconds in 27th place. Matt’s relay team, which included his stepfather and a family friend, both experienced swimmers and bikers, finished in 2 hours, 40 mintues and 56 seconds and his stepfather called Damon the team’s “weakest link.”“I knew I was in trouble when the old guy with the oxygen tank passed me,” he joked.
Damon got into the race, he said, because, “‘I was doing this movie this summer The Informant where I had to put on all this weight, and my brother told me, ‘October 5, save the date.’ ”
Besides, he said, ”I’ve got to get in shape for the next thing I’m doing.”
[From People]
People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive got very unsexy for his recent role in The Informant where he played FBI informant Mark Whitacre. Damon put on alot of weight and facial hair, the latter of which made him look eerily like Ned Flanders, and while the glasses and overstimulated mustache came off easily, the weight takes a little more work. A fourth Bourne movie is rumored to start filming in the next year and Jason Bourne isn’t carrying any extra weight. I’m still convinced Jason Bourne was really the Sexiest Man Alive, Damon just got it by default.
Though Matt and his family live in Miami, no one was expecting the Oscar-winning Damon brother to be running the last leg of the race, so the finish line observers were surprised to see the movie star. Other runners were also a little star struck.
”I think I need to start running right now, too,” shouted competitor Maria Jimena Neveda as she watched Damon sprint out of the ”transition” area where Hetherington passed off the team’s ankle monitor to the star.
Damon spent a few minutes before his run posing for pictures with Neveda and her friends.
”I wish I could be running after him,” she said.
[From the Miami Herald]
Matt was met at the finish line by his wife, Luciana, and their new daughter, Gia, so it all would have been for naught, Maria. Matt Damon would be a hell of a carrot on the end of a stick to chase to the finish line, though.

Helping Hand
Posted: September 14th, 2008, 3:02pm CDT by Perez Hilton
Tags: matt damon
On Saturday, Haitian-American musician Wycleff Jean and Oscar-winner Matt Damon arrived in flood-ravaged Haiti to distribute food aid to residents of the city Cabaret.
Damon and Jean organized the food distribution for the city's victims.
In less than one month, four tropical storms have hit this poor island nation. Officials have said Haiti's death toll will never be known.
According to a report, 331 people have been declared dead, but as the floodwaters recede and more bodies surface, Haiti's government has all but given up trying to update the death toll.
A committee that typically keeps track of such things in disasters has disbanded, because its members were among the tens of thousands who lost their homes.
So sad.
As y'all know, weather disaster has hit us hard at home, too, with Ike in Texas.
You can do your part to help too. Get involved or give to a disaster aid organization like the Red Cross.

Matt Damon talks politics
Posted: September 11th, 2008, 10:00am CDT by Nick
Tags: matt damon
Note to actors: stick to actingSomething tells me Matt Damon is not a Republican. In Toronto for the annual film festival, Damon said VP candidate Sarah Palin’s rise is “like a really bad Disney movie.” The actor said:
“I think there is a really good chance that Sarah Palin could president. And I think that’s a really scary thing because I don’t know anything about her. I don’t think in eight weeks I’m going to know anything about her. I know that she was a mayor of a really, really small town. And she’s governor of Alaska for less than two years. I just don’t understand . . . I think the pick was made for political purposes but in terms of governance it’s a disaster . . . You do the actuary tables and there’s a one out of three chance, if not more, that McCain doesn’t survive his first term and it will be President Palin. And it really . . . we were talking about it earlier . . . it’s like a really bad Disney movie. The Hockey Mom. ‘I’m just a hockey mom from Alaska.’ And she’s the President. And it’s like she’s facing down Vladimir Putin and using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink. It’s absurd. It’s totally absurd.” (Source)
Didn’t Matt get the memo? All political commentary by celebrities must include threats to move to another country if McCain is elected. One more misstep Matt, and you’re gonna get you SAG card revoked.

Matt Damon Slams Sarah Palin

I love it when celebrities think their political opinion is so astute that they must share it with us normal folk. I almost didn’t post this because I’d hate for someone to base their vote for President this year on what some blabbering celebrity thinks, but then I thought it might be funny for everyone to see Matt Damon on his high horse.
But before you watch this kids, remember to do your own research and make an informed decision before you pull that lever this November.
“I think there’s a really good chance Sarah Palin could become president, and I think that’s a really scary thing… I don’t know anything about her and in eight weeks, I don’t think I’m going to know anything about her. I know that she was a mayor of a really, really small town and she’s the governor for Alaska for less than two years. I just don’t understand. I think the pick was made for political purposes… Do the actuary tables and there’s a one out of three chance, if not more, that [John] McCain doesn’t survive his first term and it’ll be President Palin… It’s like a really bad Disney movie. The hockey mom, you know, ‘oh, I’m just a hockey mom’… and she’s facing down Vladimir Putin (of Russia)… It’s totally absurd… it’s a really terrifying possibility.”

During an interview with the Associated Press, Matt Damon didn’t hesitate to express his negative feelings about the Republican V.P. hopeful Sarah Palin, saying that the idea of her running the country is not only a “terrifying possibility,” but is like “a really bad Disney movie.” The Oscar winner at one point stating:
“The hockey mom, you know, ‘Oh, I’m just a hockey mom from Alaska,’ and she’s the president and facing down Vladimir Putin using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink. It’s absurd. I don’t understand why more people aren’t talking about how absurd it is.”

Matt Damon: Sarah Palin as VP is “absurd… like a bad Disney movie”
Posted: September 10th, 2008, 11:55am CDT by Celebitchy
Tags: matt damon
I’m a Democrat and I’m all for Obama/Biden. We strive for some kind of transparency here so we try to make our preferences known and most of the writers for the site are Democrats. That said, we’re all getting a little tired of the political banter. Personally I like to focus on the celebrities to take my mind off the big bad world, which sometimes seems like it’s going to hell in a handbasket depending on your perspective. I’ve found that if I pay attention to all the minutiae of politics and the “real news” I can get upset and have to look at the beautiful elite and their problems to remind myself that everything is going to be ok. Look, Nicole Richie’s baby is so sweet and doesn’t she have such personality at that age? See how that lifted your mood? Babies transcend world problems and political beliefs.When celebrities talk politics though, it’s hard to ignore all of them. Especially when they’re really outspoken and adamant about their political beliefs. Matt Damon has spoken out against Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin calling her candidacy “absurd” and poking fun of her “folksy” image as a hockey mom. While I agree with some of his assertions about her lack of experience and the fact that she just kind of burst onto the political scene, he does get a little too focused on who she is as a person. At the end he says he would like to know if she thinks dinosaurs were on the earth 4,000 years ago, which is something the creationists believe, and if she banned books, which was asserted by Time Magazine in an article about Palin. Damon says there’s a 1 in 3 chance by some estimates that Palin might be become President if McCain is elected.
Despite my similar political beliefs, I’m not really comfortable with seeing celebrities be so adamant against a candidate. I think it makes the side they support easier to vilify. It’s like people will say “Damon is pissed off, who does he think he is to dismiss Palin? Look at his guy.” He seems to be more upset with what Palin and McCain represent than with who Palin is as a person. Maybe he should be talking about what they’ll do for the country instead. It’s possible he did talk about all that, and it got distilled down to this segment where he kind of went off on Palin. A lot of celebrities agree with him, but they’re not likely to be so blunt in the way they state it.

BFFs Matt Damon and Ben Affleck reunited in Miami yesterday for an event in support of the presumptive Democratic nominee, Barack Obama.
Although the Afflecks previously held a fundraiser in Boston for Obama, I'm sure they were more than happy to jet to Miami to attend this event with Matt and Luciana before their newest baby arrives!
var x17video_id = "jgarner080108.mp4";
Course, they didn't seem too happy when they were leaving LAX Friday, but I guess traveling is stressful enough without all the cameras flashing!
Celebrities endorsing a candidate certainly hasn't made much of a difference in the past, but since Obama is apparently the biggest celebrity on the planet (according to a McCain ad), it probably can't hurt!

Matt Damon’s window to weight gain: In-N-Out Burger
Posted: July 3rd, 2008, 10:16am CDT by Celebitchy
Tags: matt damon
Remember that episode of the Simpsons when Homer gained a lot of weight so that he could work from home on disability? Dr. Nick Riveria advised Homer on how to pack on the pounds, saying “If you’re not sure about something, rub it against a piece of paper. If the paper turns clear, it’s your window to weight gain.”The glossies are full of celebrity diets and exercise plans to help us lose weight quickly and firm up, but many of the celebrities will also share the quick weight gain strategies they used to to bulk up for a role. There’s little call for that type of information, but it can serve as a cautionary tale for some of our excessive lifestyles.
Much maligned goth rocker Jared Leto gained a ton of weight for his role as John Lennon assassin Mark David Chapman in the panned film Chapter 27. His tip for quick weight gain involved melting Haagan Das ice cream in the microwave and drinking it.
Beyonce says she gained the weight back after her ill-advised cheyenne pepper drink diet for Dream Girls by eating fried food. And Renee Zellweger’s Bridget Jones diet involved eating 20 donuts a day.
Matt Damon has revealed his method of gaining 20-30 pounds to look “doughy” to play a conflicted executive in the film The Informant
Insider. He said he stopped working out, drank a lot of beer and ate a lot of burgers, and said that it was easier to gain weight at 37 than it was in his 20s.Even though the weight-gain was required for a role, that doesn’t stop Damon’s friends from mocking him mercilessly.
“Some thing are just self-evident and don’t even require making fun of,” his B.F.F. Ben Affleck said at the Rio Hotel and Casino event, which raised money and awareness about the genocide in Darfur. “I mean, the man buys two seats on an airplane!”
So how did the Oscar-winner pack on the pounds?
“I just stopped working out and basically just ate whatever I wanted,” he said. “I ate a lot of In-N-Out, a lot of burgers, a lot of beer and basically had a great time … When you’re in your 20s you can do that kind of stuff. When you’re in your 30s, its a whole different ballgame.”
[From People.com]
Damon joked that he was about to get his “sexiest man alive” title revoked by People. He still looks damn good to me when he’s dressed like a normal guy. In a Hawaiian shirt with a faux stache and feathered hair he’s as fug as anyone would look in that outfit. It hardly has to do with his weight.
Dream team Ben Affleck and Matt Damon were at the Ante up for African poker tournament for charity last night in Las Vegas. Affleck took a journey to the Congo, his third in 8 months, earlier this summer in order to bring awareness to the immense poverty and human rights violations in the area. His trip was chronicled on Nightline and I think he did a great job that didn’t get as much attention as it should have.
Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Jason Alexander are shown last night at the charity tournament at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Vegas. Affleck is an accomplished poker player and won the the California State Poker Championship in 2004.

Women Are From Mars - Matt Lauer Is From Venus

Reason number 12, 345 that men are different that women. Have you ever seen a female celebrity rockin’ the same swim suit…two years apart? I think not. In fact, in just one five day vacation we recently saw the gorgeous Katherine Heigl in no less than four different bikinis.
TMZ posted this picture of Today Show anchor (and millionaire) Matt Lauer wearing the same swim trunks he wore a few years ago in that infamous six pack photo. Sorry we can’t post the picture here, butit’s definatley worth going on over to see it. CLICK HERE to see Lauer’s former six pack.
Oh, and I apologize for the hideous Methuselah sitting next to Matty in the picture but it’s the only one I could find. Just click on the above link…fast.

Who ISN'T pregnant these days, geez!
I guess having a bambino on the way is the best Father's Day gift for Matt Damon.
He and his wife Luciana dined at Dan Tana's last night. Pregnancy looks good on Luciana!
What'll be the Bourne Identity of the couple's baby-to-be -- boy or girl?

Matt Damon's Moustache Is Tremendous

We caught a glimpse of Matt Damon walking around on the set of The Informant - or, more accurately, we caught a glimpse of the awesome 70s-style moustache Matt wears in the flick. Seriously, how great is that thing? He could pass for a seventies porn star!
Is that a caterpillar on your lip, Mr. Damon?
This picture's even better if you imagine music going bow-chicka-wow-wow in the background

Matt Damon Introduces The First Woman Bold Enough To Blame Rehab On Research For A Film Role

Tags: matt damon
We're not buying it, Eva Mendes! You were doing research, Kirsten Dunst was sad, and Steve Tyler's foot hurt. Say it with me, bbbbbbbbbuullllllssssshhhhhhhhiiiiiittttttt! Here's Matt Damon accepting one of the trophies he won at the Spike TV Guy Awards last night.
The ceremony was held in LA, and celebrated all things..."guy." Damon won for "Guy of the Year" and his role as amnesiac spy Jason Bourne earned him a second award. Robert Downey Jr. won for "Best Guy Movie of the Year" for Iron Man. And Brendan Fraser, who's hairline is receding quicker than mine so I feel a lot better about my power alleys, presented Harrison Ford with an award. Harrison grabbed his package in thanks. Stop it, you're 65. Maybe he was adjusting his hernie truss.
Cameron Diaz won a gong for a Decade of Hotness. Oh man, is that gag order on snark because she lost her Dad recently wearing thin. This is a tough one. Like, I'm chomping at the bit. Ok, it passed.
Someone please tell Jack Black to sit down.

Here's Matt Damon perfecting his craft as a schlub who blows the whistle on a price-fixing scam in The Informant. I love when the prettyboys fug themselves up for their art. That's Jason Bourne! He's a chameleon! He's also the guy who used to pick his nose with his car keys during an exam when he thought everyone was concentrating on their tests and wasn't looking. We see you, Mr. (name omitted to protect the innocent)!

We rarely see Matt Damon with his daughter!
But, there she is, arriving with daddy at Miami International Airport.
Damon and his wife, Luciana, who is currently expecting their second child, live in our hometown of the MIA.
Matt's adorable Isabella will turn 2 this June.
She needs to move to L.A. so she can be BFF with Violet Affleck! (Where has little Vi been lately?)

Matt Damon Fiddles With A Photog's Junk

Matt Damon enjoyed some good times at Nobu Berkeley when he got friendly with a photographer and I'm guessing that what happened was the result of the actor promising to "show you mine if you show me yours."
Awww look, and that guy with him is totally his shoe twin. They must have had BOGO on the brain when they went shoe-shopping together.

Not On Our Watch, a charity co-founded by George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Don Cheadle, has donated $500,000 to the United Nations World Food Program.
The money will help the U.N.'s food aid agency to prevent hunger in the troubled Darfur region of Sudan.
In a statement, Clooney said, "Without immediate additional funding, humanitarian aid in the region will be crippled."
Gorge George has become a leading celebrity advocate for action against the genocide in the Sudan after filming a documentary about the crisis last year.

Matt Leinart Prevents Infecting CPR Dummy
Posted: March 11th, 2008, 6:59pm CDT
Tags: matt leinart
Quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, Matt Leinart, is seen here demonstrating how he used to safely kiss Paris Hilton back when they dated briefly. That's right, throw a dental dam on that mouth, kids! Even though, let's be honest--he's probably got something of a petri dish himself in between those lips.
But seriously, Leinart is lending his experienced kisser to helping raise awareness for CPR and how Red Cross training helps save lives. In addition to the CPR demonstration he gave, he also showed how to use the defibrillator on a dummy. Ha! I'd like to use a defibrillator on a dummy--and there's no shortage of those in my line of work.
