Universal Acquired Rights to Historical Spy Thriller Script entitled "Section 6"

SECTION 6 is the title of a historical spy thriller script that is the subject of a bidding war between Universal and Sony. In its end, Aaron Berg sold his spec script Section 6 to Universal for $1.2 million.  SECTION 6 is a historical spy thriller that follows the World War I-era formation of British intelligence agency MI6 and its first director, Sir George Mansfield Cummings, who served as the inspiration for M in the James Bond series. If Sony won, a straight-up James Bond spinoff could have been a possibility.

No director or cast is attached at this time, but the project has drawn interest from the likes of Hugh Jackman and directors Justin Lin (Fast & Furious 6) and Brett Ratner (Tower Heist). Section 6 could be something worth following on.

The Bourne Legacy, to shoot in Manila, with Jeremy Renner on its crosshairs

The Bourne series continue on "The Bourne Legacy" with Jeremy Renner on the lead, and to be set in Manila

The Bourne movies, based upon the Bourne books from master spy novelist Robert Ludlum, that starred Matt Damon and directed by Doug Liman and Paul Greengrass are probably one of the best and most spectacular espionage movies ever made. All three movies "Bourne Identity", "Bourne Supremacy", and "Bourne Ultimatum" was a great trilogy that had a relatively decent apparent ending.

Or so we thought it ended there. In January 2010, Matt Damon said that there would "probably be a prequel of some kind with another actor and another director before we do another one just because I think we're probably another five years away from doing it." The Bourne series shall continue with "The Bourne Legacy", but Matt Damon will not be the central character of this sequel; it will be a different character, and Jeremy Renner would be this main character in the movie. Although, it's a different character, it will be a story that will be set around the continuity of the first three movies.
