About this episode

The episode continues the discussion on 'The Bourne Identity', focusing on various creative decisions and the film's reception.

A score paid for with money that had already been spent, a farmhouse the studio flatly refused, and a director looking into whether he could sell his credit on eBay. Luke, Westy and Matt pick the story back up. Part 2 turns to Tony Gilroy throwing out the novel from page ten onwards, John Powell's cold metallic score and Oliver Wood draining the colour out of Europe, before the finale, the reception, the sequels and four scores. Part 1 is where the trawler, the bank and the ride to Paris all kick off. Start there. Telling the story of Hollywood, one film at a time.
