Week's news: Bourne franchise grows
Universal Pictures has bought the rights to the Jason Bourne character in a deal with The Bourne Identity author Robert Ludlum's estate. Many more Bourne movies will follow in the Bond tradition: originally just three Bourne movies were envisioned.
The next JJ Abrams-directed Star Trek film - titled simply Star Trek - is not due out till May 8, 2009, yet Paramount has rolled out a full-scale promotional tour for it already.
