  • He wakes up in a nursing home, having forgotten everything and faintly smelling of incontinence. Then the nurse tries to give him an IV, and all hell breaks loose.

  • Film opens with him underwater, surrounded by tiny bubbles. Then he realizes he's being held down underwater in a motel bathtub bubble-bath, and all hell breaks loose.

  • He wakes up inside a cage in Kuala Lumpur zoo. The zookeepers are snickering behind the closed gate. He notices he's wearing a raw meat hat. Zookeeper reaches in with a pole to poke at a sleeping Tiger. He grabs the pole, then all hell breaks loose.

  • He wakes up and notices he's in the middle of a back-alley colonoscopy. The doctor says something rude. He suddenly realizes he understands Uzbek, then all hell breaks loose.

Is this like a sequel to inception as well?

Oh these are all separate ideas aren't they?

hmmm... I like the way you think. Lets get together and talk about where you want to take this.

Have four spec scripts ready to go. Two for the John Wick crossover. And five more for the reboot when Damon starts moving like Roger Moore in Octopussy. Just waiting for the studio greenlight and insurance clearance.

Framed for a murder he didn't comment, investigate the murder and find his boss did it, only for their boss to be the mastermind.

It has worked for the first 3 films.

Also, a phone call with the scrupulous hound-dog chasing him where he is alarmingly close by but still one step ahead.

That one soundbite kicks in. Boo-wee-boo-wee

[–] radix@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The fourth and fifth, too!

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Haven't seen those.

I watched a brilliant analysis a while back about what the first Bourne movie would be like if it was limited to only Bourne's perspective, progressing through the story following only him, and discovering things about his identity and past only at the times he himself does.

It honestly seemed brilliant, and I'd love them to take some risks and make a movie like that, something different that stands a chance of becoming iconic.

What I think we'll actually get is yet another generic spy thriller that fails to achieve even half what the original Bourne Identity did. But there we go.

Will it be another movie, or will they just reboot it as a tv series?

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Another TV show, you mean.

The first one was in 2019 and it was just a failure.

Far out!!! Was it any good?

[–] WildPalmTree@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Its been a minute, but i remember it as the best of the ones I've seen. I'd love to watch it again.
