What are you talking about, Matt Damon? Volume 2

Check out Volume 1 for all the background you’ll need.

Matt Damon is talking about Bourne yet again, this time to Empire:

“I read online that they’re doing another Jason Bourne movie with Tony Gilroy directing that I’m not in. No one told me, literally nobody called me. People think I have insider information, but you get a sense of where I am in the pecking order!”

But would he even do another one in the first place?

“I’d do it with Paul [Greengrass]. Universal don’t actually own the Bourne character — the estate [of Robert Ludlum] does — so technically I could go to Warner Bros … and Universal could read about it online.”

I’m of two minds about this. I think it’s silly to do another Bourne movie without Matt Damon. On the other hand, the first trilogy wrapped up so perfectly that I think I’d rather just see the story stay as it is.

On yet another hand, if Damon and Paul Greengrass did do another one, I’d see the hell out of it.

It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out.

JUSTIFIED returns February 9! New hints for Season Two!

It’s about time! Justified returns to FX for its second season on Wednesday, February 9, at 10 p.m.

Didn’t see Season One? You can buy it right now from Amazon for just $22 on Blu-ray or $20 on DVD, and believe me, it’s worth every awesomely discounted penny. Previous coverage here, though you should probably watch the episodes first to avoid having anything spoiled.

But for those of you who’ve seen every minute of Raylan’s adventures in Harlan County so far, Sandra Gonzalez from Entertainment Weekly drops some big hints about what’s coming next.

A reader asks:

I’m so glad to see Justified getting some publicity and am hyped for the return. Is Boyd Crowder part of an overarching story or just a constant nuisance? Are they sticking to the episodic format? I liked it — they felt like short stories more than generic ‘procedural’ mysteries. Is Raylan moving out of his motel room? Are we going to explore beyond Harlan like the CA episode? Does Harlan have minorities? — LochNessTess

And Sandra answers:

I feel like I’m about to dig into a pie and I have no idea where to start. Deep breath. Okay, let’s see. Boyd is most definitely part of an overarching storyline this year, but also does a great job getting under Raylan’s skin, as usual — especially when Raylan finds out Boyd’s been sleeping under a roof that Raylan knows very well. And there’s a great (and somewhat brutal) Boyd moment coming in episode 3. Q2) Format’s about the same, I’d say. Good thing, right? Q3) Raylan is still hanging his hat in the motel at least through episode three. But don’t worry; he’s not lonely. Q4) We’re spend most of our time in Harlan at the beginning of the season. Q5) Not sure, but what I do know is that when Rachel accompanies Raylan on an investigation, they’re not very welcoming at all.

Let’s start from the top. What roof could Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins) be sleeping under that could possibly get Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) so riled up? I put forth my own theory in this article I wrote last summer. Just skim on down to #10, where I wondered if the writers might pair off Boyd with his former sister-in-law, Ava (Joelle Carter), even though she seemingly finds him repulsive.

(She’s “former” because she shot and killed her abusive husband, Boyd’s brother.)

Ava was massively hurt by Raylan’s sexy hotel shenanigans with his ex-wife Winona (Natalie Zea), and Boyd has always had the hots for Ava, so … do the math. That’s my guess on that one.

Speaking of Winona, surely she’s who’s keeping Raylan company at the hotel. Sorry, Gary!

And it’s cool that Rachel will be back — she sort of disappeared at the end of Season One.
