Without seeking Greengrass's approval, Universal hired Josh Zetumer to rewrite George Nolfi's screenplay for the next Bourne thriller, reports The Playlist. It is thought that this move as well as Universal's worries over the helmer's budget-management skills contributed to his departure.
The price tag on Greengrass's forthcoming Green Zone has apparently swelled to almost $150m (£91m) due to reshoots.
The filmmaker directed 2004's The Bourne Supremacy and 2007's The Bourne Ultimatum. Both films starred Matt Damon in the lead role.
