Universal bring us follow-ups to two of their biggest 2012 hits...Universal Pictures have this week confirmed that new instalments in both their Bourne and Ted film franchises are in the works. Admittedly, we didn't even know that Ted was ever planned to be part of a bigger picture, and to be honest this reeks of the Family Guy appeal of the film's writer/director/star having earned the flick enough cash to warrant a follow-up, especially when our 3.5/5 score was by no means the only one of its kind at the time of release. Meanwhile, it's no surprise to see that Universal want more from Jeremy Renner after the moderate worldwide success of The Bourne Legacy, although wouldn't it nice to see a proper appearance from Bourne himself, Mr Matt Damon? It's not hard to think that Damon is starting to get on a bit now age-wise, so if the studio has any intention of doing a crossover entry they'd be well advised to get it running sooner rather than later. We'll provide updates on titles and definitive cast names as they come...The next Bourne movie is planned for release in Summer 2014, with the sequel to Ted likely to follow later that year if things go as planned.
