New Batch of 'Bourne' Pics

Just when you thought summer was beginning to wind down, remember that there's still at least one more big-budgeted action-packed threequel gearing up to invade theaters in a couple weeks. The Bourne Ultimatum arrives on August 3, and Cinema Blend has a pretty nifty gallery of stills for you to sift through. Check out Matt Damon as he reads a book, uses a laptop, rides a motorcycle, inspects a slide thingy and, of course, runs ... fast. Fellow cast members Julia Stiles, David Strathairn, Paddy Considine and Joan Allen also show up in a few shots, as the search for Jason Bourne intensifies when the man decides to return home and wag his presence in the face of those seeking him out.
Recently, Damon has gone on record saying that this will mark the last time he reprises his role as Jason Bourne, leading lots to assume that this franchise will stop at three films. Of course there's always a chance someone will change their mind and greenlight a fourth adventure, although they'll have to find someone alluring enough to fill Damon's shoes. Those interested in learning more about the film are more than welcome to check out some additional trailers and posters -- other than that, there's not much I can do for you. Will director Paul Greengrass produce a film that's on par (or even better) than the previous installment? Will Julia Stiles find a way to keep us awake this time while she delivers her lines? Will Jason Bourne finally learn his real identity -- that he's not actually an ex-CIA operative, but an ex-Burger King employee who watched way too many action films growing up? So many questions left unanswered; how will they wrap it up?

Another question to add:
Will this film be shot in such a way that you can actually see the action this time instead of having a seizure-induced cameraman shoot it all?

I can't imagine this series continuing without Damon at this point. Sure, Lustbader picked up the series of books when Ludlum kicked off but that was just a matter of matching styles. If they really want to continue reaping benefits from this franchise, they need to start over with a new actor as bourne and stick closer to the original stories that Ludlum wrote. For Chrissakes can we please get some Carlos the Jackal into these movies already? He was the central theme of the books and the reason that Bourne was created and yet there's not a single mention of him in any of the movies.
