History
editCaptivate Entertainment was started in 2009 by Jeffrey Wiener, the executor of the Robert Ludlum Estate[1] and Ben Smith, the veteran ICM Partners agent handling Ludlum's works at the Agency.[8] After the successful The Bourne Ultimatum, writer Paul Zetumer was drafted by Universal and Captivate to script a fourth installment of the Bourne Identity franchise which would star Matt Damon and be directed by Paul Greengrass. However, following a dispute between Greengrass and the studio, Damon said he wouldn't make another without his director.[9] Captivate Entertainment and Universal instead filled the gap with the spinoff film The Bourne Legacy, which Tony Gilroy wrote and directed.[10]
