'Bourne' is UK's favourite film

The Bourne Ultimatum has won the people's choice prize at the Richard Attenborough Film Awards.

The film took the gong after accumulating the most public votes from 25 regional media outlets.

Bourne director Paul Greengrass said in a statement: "I am hugely honoured that the UK public has voted for The Bourne Ultimatum as their favourite film in what was a fine year for the cinema."

The film's star Matt Damon said: "We shot most of the sequences in London and at the UK's Pinewood studios with a primarily British crew. So I'm particularly excited that this award has been voted for by the Brits themselves."

A fourth Bourne movie was recently announced despite Damon and Greengrass admitting their reluctance to continue the franchise.
