JASON Bourne, America's answer to James Bond, is dead - at least as far as Matt Damon is concerned.
The actor said in Cannes today that the next Bourne movie, The Bourne Ultimatum, would be his last turn as the super-spy assassin, despite the franchise earning hundreds of millions of dollars around the world.
ldquo;The Bourne thing I'm definitely done with, rdquo; Damon said, as he sat in a news conference with co-stars from Ocean's Thirteen, which was being shown in the Cannes film festival.
The Oscar-winner added, though, that Bourne character may well live on, played by another actor.
The Bourne Ultimatum, part of the series of best-selling action novels by Robert Ludlum about a renegade and lethal former US secret agent, is due for release in August.
