New 'Bourne' to get alternate script
Universal has contracted Josh Zetumer to pen an alternate script for the fourth Jason Bourne movie.

Bourne Ultimatum writer George Nolfi had been working on a new screenplay, but stepped aside to direct sci-fi thriller The Adjustment Bureau with Bourne star Matt Damon.

The studio has now brought in Zetumer, who is also working on the Dune remake, to pen a parallel script. The two drafts may then be merged together later by Nolfi.

"Our hope is that Nolfi, a key member of the Bourne team, will return after he is done with The Adjustment Bureau," a Universal spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter.

The fourth Bourne movie is expected to arrive in 2011, with Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass returning.
