History

Captivate Entertainment was started in 2009 by Jeffrey Wiener, the executor of the Robert Ludlum Estate and Ben Smith, the veteran ICM Partners agent handling Ludlum's works at the Agency.{{cite news | last=Finke | first=Nikki | url=https://deadline.com/2008/12/universal-and-ludlum-entertainment-hire-icm-agent-to-run-new-production-company-7698/ | title=Universal and Ludlum Entertainment Hire ICM Agent To Run Bourne Production | website=Deadline Hollywood | date=December 7, 2008 | access-date=March 13, 2015}} 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.{{cite news | last=Masters | first=Kim | url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/matt-damon-bourne-identity-tony-gilroy-275137 |title=Matt Damon's Verbal Attack Exposes Deep Rift in 'Bourne' Franchise | date=December 19, 2011 |access-date=March 13, 2015 | work=The Hollywood Reporter}} Captivate Entertainment and Universal instead filled the gap with the spinoff film The Bourne Legacy, which Tony Gilroy wrote and directed.{{cite news | last=Fleming | first=Mike | url=https://deadline.com/2012/02/universal-buys-josh-zetumer-pitch-for-spy-thriller-franchise-231402/| title=Universal and Ludlum Entertainment Hire ICM Agent To Run Bourne Production | website=Deadline Hollywood | date=February 15, 2012 | access-date=March 13, 2015}}
