Article
The Bourne Ultimatum is a 2007 American action-thriller film based on Robert Ludlum's character Jason Bourne, a CIA assassin and psychogenic amnesiac portrayed by Matt Damon. Julia Stiles, David Strathairn, Scott Glenn, Paddy Considine, Édgar Ramírez, Albert Finney, and Joan Allen also star. The film was directed by Paul Greengrass and written by Tony Gilroy, Scott Z. Burns, and George Nolfi. Loosely based on the novel of the same name, the story takes place both during and after the events of The Bourne Supremacy (2004), and follows Bourne as he continues searching for information about his past before joining Treadstone, while also being pursued by a similar program, Blackbriar.
Following the release of Supremacy, Greengrass agreed to return to direct the third installment. Gilroy, the writer of the previous two films, wanted to explore Bourne seeking redemption for his murders, an aspect that he felt was missing from the previous film. Principal photography began in New York City on October 2, 2006. The visual effects were produced by Double Negative.
