"The Bourne Ultimatum," the third installment of Universal Pictures' successful action series, began shooting this week in Tangier but without its main villain yet to be cast says The Hollywood Reporter.
An offer has gone out to Gael Garcia Bernal to take the role, though negotiations have not yet begun. The story centers on assassin Bourne uncovering mysteries of his past, which puts him in the cross-hairs of a superkiller.
Matt Damon is back as Bourne, as are Joan Allen and Julia Stiles in their respective roles. David Strathairn has also joined the cast. In addition to Tangier, shooting locations include Madrid, Paris, New York, London and Riga, the capital of Latvia.
A similar situation happened earlier this year when filming on the James Bond movie "Casino Royale" kicked off without either a villain or leading lady cast.
