He can't have the film ready…another reason Universal is thinking of firing him from the next Bourne film. They want to go early in 2010 and he's said he wouldn't be able to shoot until the very end of the year..which they know means a 2011 start date. Yes, Universal is f-ed up..(and they are all going to get fired) but the Green Zone push is all on Greengrass.

Oh well. They just made early 2010 more interesting.

What a shame this movie got moved…was one of my top films to see this year…Greengrass is a great talent.

There was that Variety article earlier this year, that basically articulated something similar.

He wants more baby food. I don't want to ruin the movie by reading the script, but is it safe to say Green Zone isn't baby food so they're kicking it down the road to worry about later?
