After its inexplicable three Oscar wins on Sunday night, the only thing surprising about this news is the lack of buzz surrounding it. In a press release to Variety, Universal confirmed that star Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass are re-teaming for Bourne Part 4.

This news should be Earth-shattering as it represents a complete reversal of both talents' previous statements that they were ending the franchise at three films. Obviously, money and Oscar acclaim can change attitudes quickly.

Personally, I can't wait for the next installment as The Bourne Ultimatum was the best of the trilogy and there's always room for top-notch action flicks in the marketplace.
