Damon slams Bond and isn’t that keen on Bourne either!

Matt Damon always comes across as such a mild mannered chap and I’m quite surprised to read he’s taken time out to slam the Bond franchise. Speaking with the Miami Herald, he trampled the world of Bond and indicated his all round displeasure for the world in which our top agent has his roots firmly based.

"They could never make a James Bond movie like any of the Bourne films. Because Bond is an imperialist, misogynist sociopath who goes around bedding women and swilling martinis and killing people. He's repulsive."

Fair enough Matt, I actually don’t mind any of those qualities and the more of them we actually see in this sanitised politically correct world the better as far as I’m concerned. He went on to say...

"The Bond character will always be anchored in the 1960s and in the values of the 1960s. (He's) so anachronistic when you put it in the world we live in today."

There’s no denying that Bond’s heritage is firmly entrenched in the 60s, despite the best efforts of this current Craig era to uproot it into something more contemporary (and thoroughly tedious).

Fairly off the cuff remarks from Mr D perhaps but he also went on to state that he’s only offering up his services for the fourth Bourne film because Universal are funding his passion project ‘The Green Zone’ and he figures he owes them! The $125 million project concerns the search for weapons of mass destruction during the last Iraq conflict.
"When you make a $125 million Iraq movie, you kind of owe them a Bourne movie," Damon said.
