I’ve seen the trailer for this movie before, interesting looking flick. Even more interesting now.
Thanks for sharing, I’ll definitely check that out.

Congrats. Just think, if you had found WoMD you probably would have met Clint Eastwood instead.

Y'know, I always thought Damon was kind of a Streisand, but he's rockin' the shit in this one.

I like a few Eastwood movies and all, but I think Damon might actually be a little more "hot" right now.

Could you get Matt Damon to come to my kids birthday party and perform for us? Nothing to tough, just all the Bourne movies would be fine.

Thanks for your service from San Antonio, Texas.

You bet I will watch it.

Are you Brian, the guy at the end of the clip?


Yeah I am the Brian that was on at the end. CBS is airing a longer story on it that talks about my involvement with the actual search the movie is about.

There are parts of this film that will be controversial. There is a scene of torture and of course a right wing representing evil bad guy. They also make a Special Forces team look like they are the tool of the evil Republicans.

On the actual team, none of this happened. There was never anyone tortured and we worked very closely with the SF and other organizations. They put that in the movie to make it more entertaining because that is something audiences have come to expect. Using real soldiers and a partial true story may cause many people to confuse all of this with reality.

You will have to let me know what you think when you see it.

If you like the Bourne films, read the books. The films sucks huge drippy Clydesdale schlong compared to the books. You have to read them in order ("Identity", "Supremacy", "Ultimatum").

I don't read any of the post-Ludlum collaborative or ghostwriter stuff. Here is the list of HIS books.

The Scarlatti Inheritance (1971)
The Osterman Weekend (1972)
The Matlock Paper (1973)
Trevayne (1973, writing under the pen-name Jonathan Ryder)
The Cry of the Halidon (1974, writing under the pen-name Jonathan Ryder)
The Rhinemann Exchange (1974)
The Road to Gandolfo (1975, writing under the pen-name Michael Shepherd)
The Gemini Contenders (1976)
The Chancellor Manuscript (1977)
The Holcroft Covenant (1978)
The Matarese Circle (1979) (this one was really good IIRC)
The Bourne Identity (1980)
The Parsifal Mosaic (1982) (also very good)
The Aquitaine Progression (1984)
The Bourne Supremacy (1986)
The Icarus Agenda (1988)
The Bourne Ultimatum (1990)
The Road to Omaha (1992)
The Scorpio Illusion (1993)
The Apocalypse Watch (1995)
The Matarese Countdown (1997)
The Prometheus Deception (2000)

No I play Brian Keating. I'm not on the IMDB thing because you really need an agent to petition them to get your name on. I have no agent.

Cool, I look forward to watching the movie. This is one I would have watched aynyway, but to have a connection (no matter how limited) to it makes it a little better.

I finished reading the trilogy about 6 months before the first movie came out. I was so excited to see it that I couldn't wait. While it was a good movie for sure, I was highly disappointed at the differences between the movie and the book. The books are MUCH better.

I have read a few of those others of his as well. I agree, I have no interest in reading the "new" books put out under his name. Also, if you enjoy these you should also read Ken Follett. Wonderful author in the same genre although my favorite of his is [i]Pillars of Earth[/] about building a cathedral in the middle ages.
