Money speaks louder than words! Matt Damon 'may have earned $1 million per line' for his fourth [tr]

Matt Damon returns to movie theatres on July 29 as Jason Bourne in his fourth appearance as the amnesiac special ops agent. And director Paul Greengrass has revealed that in the finished film, the actor, 45, has just 25 lines of dialogue. That's led to speculation that the star, who got paid $25 million for last year's The Martian, was likely paid at least $1 million for each line he spoke.

That’s the gist of ‘directed panspermia’. I don’t believe in it either.

Regarding sci-fi, my fav is “Forbidden Planet”.

“Never watched a “Bourne” movie.”

Too bad...the first three were very good movies

So many movies do this. There ought to be a blasphemy rating on movies.

_The_American_ had little dialog but much intelligent action. Starred George Clooney.

I too have never seen a “Bourne movie”, and never will.

I've seen parts of some of them, but I never found any of them interesting enough to watch until the end.

Too bad. If these liberal weenies kept their political opinions "in the closet" they'd have a lot bigger fan base.

“The Martian” was a rip-off of “Mission to Mars”. It was well done, but still the story was done before.

"The Martian" was based on the book of the same name by Andy Weir, and followed it very closely. I enjoyed both the book and the movie a lot.

Those won't be my dollars.

Just a few days ago, he called for an immediate ban of all guns in America. Of course, that doesn't include Hollyweirdo characters.

Good Will Hunting was pretty good but that's the only thing I've ever seen him in.And the only thing I ever *will* see him in.

Just saw the fifth (new) Bourne movie. Loved the first 4, thought this one was pretty stale rehash of the previous ones.

Lots of action, but no sense of real urgency. Why do they have to keep killing of his girlfriends? Its an overdone cliche in the ones that have Damon as the lead man.

Now I enjoyed the last "spy movie" with the character "Jack Ryan" in it... with Keira Knightley and the new Captain Kirk, and Kevin Costner... but this most recent movie by Damon... the script does not have me caring for him or his motivations for doing what he does.

It is just TOO dang busy.

It is full of action and things that go boom... but I have NO sense of danger in the plot. I had NO suspension of disbelief. I just don't care about the character at all, in this one.

And killing julia? what is up with that? I wanted to vest in the characters or the plot... but it just was not there for me. Whatever "it" is... Anybody else have an opinion on this one??? I thought it under-performed.

I guess I am waiting for the new "jack reacher" movie now... as the "expected" Bourne, failed to excite and engage...
