According to The Free Dictionary, the grammar definition of the word "parallel" is...  "having identical or equivalent syntactic constructions in corresponding clauses or phrases".

So when The Hollywood Reporter say that screenwriter Josh Zetumer (who wrote a remake of Dune for Peter Berg) has been brought on to write a parallel script to George Nolfi's screenplay for Bourne IV... what conclusion do we come to?

Are they both writing a script which Universal will then decide which one they want to use - or will they blend the best bits of both scripts together?

Nolfi had been working on Bourne IV solo before he departed to direct The Adjustment Bureau, a Phillip K. Dick adaptation that shoots next month, also starring Matt Damon. It is however hoped that Nolfi will return to where he left off once filming is complete.

Parallel scripts are said to be rare but when are practised, the result is a little problematic. X-Men Origins: Wolverine had one, which probably explains half the reason why it was so disjointed, because it came from two different scripts.

Universal president Ron Meyer this week mentioned that getting tentpoles back up and running was a priority for the studio, and producer Frank Marshall has ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first draft of Greg Nolfi's (The Bourne Ultimatum) script for a fourth Bourne movie has come in a little later than expected and producer Frank Marshall has updated his twitter page with news that he expects to get his hands on the draft by June, which he claims now means the movie won't be released until Summer 2011. 

Previously, they were expecting to have the movie in theatres by next Summer.



The fourth Bourne movie is the first not based on a Robert Ludlum novel, though we've heard the non-Bourne Ludlum novel The Pacific Mosaic, might have been an influence to the film's plot. 

Matt Damon is on board to return to the franchise, with Paul Greengrass in the director's chair once again but only IF, the script is to their liking. That's not to say they won't do a fourth movie if they hate it, it just means they will likely send this writer away again to come up with a better story. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The oddly titled THE PARSIFAL MOSAIC, a spy thriller written by the original author/creator Robert Ludlum which DID NOT involve the character of Jason Bourne but could be used as a framework for the series...



Coming Soon carry this plot...
"The Parsifal Mosiac," not a "Bourne" adventure as a novel, deals with a U.S. spy who falls in love with another spy who is revealed to be a double agent just before her death. When he retires from the business, though, the spy learns that she may still be alive and sets out to learn the truth.
Sounds very James Bond like.

Producer Frank Marshall told the site that this was the story they were looking at possibly adapting as the next BOURNE adventure, dismissing the possibility of using other books in the BOURNE cannon as they want to respect the original Ludlum writings.

Of which they own every novel Ludlum wrote that has yet to be adapted.

He also tells us that only screenwriter Greg Nolfi (he co-wrote the last movie) is officially on board along side himself and that Matt Damon and presumably Paul Greengrass are waiting on the script before committing. We believe though that both are interested. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last we heard, Universal were planning to move forward with a fourth BOURNE movie based on an original screenplay and story from George Nolfi, one of the co-writers on the last movie. But today's Variety hints that coming up with an original story may not be going so well because the studio have just paid big bucks to acquire all the novels in the BOURNE series exclusively for them to adapt.

The only novels yet adapted for screen are Eric Van Lustbader's trilogyThe Bourne Legacy (2004), The Bourne Betrayal (2007) and this year's The Bourne Sanction (2008). Universal have also nabbed the first look rights at every novel Robert Ludlum ever wrote that has yet been adapted, which totals to around 25 novels.



Both Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass have already signed on for a new movie in the $1 billion franchise which Universal are fast tracking for a release in about 20 months time.
"Universal has done such an excellent job with the first three films that they deserve the opportunity to keep Jason Bourne at the studio forever," Weiner told Daily Variety.
Another reason for the deal is that MGM And Relativity Media this year won the rights against Universal for ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Universal have hired George Nolfi, the screenwriter of THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM to return to the series and pen a fourth adventure and the first one that won't be based on an already existing title in the Robert Ludlum created universe.

Nolfi will have to work from an original idea. Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass will both return as lead and director respectively say Variety...



Previously the studio and the talent involved had agreed to stop at the third installment before but after the THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM became a huge near $400 million worldwide hit and was one of the best reviewed movies of 2007... they couldn't resist going ahead with a fourth movie.

And boy is the summer tentpole better for it! ]]></description>
