(on The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)) We`re all signed on in principle, in the sense that we`ve all agreed that we want to do it, but we`re not going to do it unless we have a great script. It`s ours to lose at the minute and, if we do make a third one, we want to make it as good as the first two. And if we can`t do that, then we`re going to have to let it drop.
- Matt Damon(on The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)) If you have any ideas for a script, please, call Universal! We`ve gone so far from the book. (Robert Ludlum) wrote it as a trilogy and we`ve really kind of ignored that plot because it`s very Cold War. And so, in the updating process, we kind of threw out most of what he had so we`re kind of on our own to find a third one. "Bourne Ultimatum" is the third one and I feel like I`ve given ultimatums in both the first two!
- Matt DamonWe are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum.
- Ahmed M. Al AshkerAt the beginning, because the lives of the hostages were at stake, then during this silent period we have taken several measures like not accepting the ultimatum of the terrorists threatening to kill our foreign affairs minister.
