Bourne 5 Will Be About "A Post-Snowden World"

thought the last Bourne film was okay, but it was sorely missing Matt Damon's titular character and Paul Greengrass's direction. Luckily, the sequel will be reuniting the two, and the star teases what the film might be about and where it will take place. "Without giving too much of it away, it's Bourne through an austerity-riddled Europe and in a post-Snowden world," Damon said. "It seems like enough has changed, you know? There are all these kinds of arguments about spying and civil liberties and the nature of democracy." Snowden has become a powerful figure in the debate over security versus privacy, from Washington to Europe to Asia to the Academy Awards. Sen. John McCain even said in 2013 that Snowden was seen by young Americans as "some kind of Jason Bourne."
