Tony Gilroy has been hired by Universal Pictures to write the screenplay for THE BOURNE SUPREMACY, the sequel to last year's hit THE BOURNE IDENTITY. Matt Damon isn't contracted to reprise his role as superspy Jason Bourne but has expressed interest in starring in the sequel if the script meets his approval.

SUPREMACY is about someone else hijacking the Bourne cover name and taking credit for the assassination of a Chinese government figure. It's up to Jason Bourne to find out who's using his identity and stop them from jeopardizing the world peace.
