The film is a sequel to The Bourne Supremacy (2004), also following The Bourne Identity (2002). Matt Damon reprises his role as Ludlum's signature character, former CIA assassin and psychogenic amnesia Jason Bourne. The film continues the saga of Jason Bourne as he escapes from authorities in Moscow and travels to Paris, London, Madrid, Tangier and New York City to uncover his real identity, while the CIA continues to send assassins after him. The film co-starred Julia Stiles, David Strathairn, Scott Glenn, Paddy Considine, Edgar Ramirez, Albert Finney, and Joan Allen. The script was written by Tony Gilroy, Scott Z. Burns, George Nolfi and an uncredited Tom Stoppard. The producers were Patrick Crowley, Frank Marshall, Paul L. Sandberg, and Doug Liman, who directed the first Bourne film, The Bourne Identity. The Bourne Ultimatum was produced by Universal Pictures and was released on August 3, 2007, in North America, where it grossed $69.3 million in ticket sales in its first weekend of release, making it the highest August opening in the U.S. and Matt Damon's highest grossing film with him as the lead role. Although all three films have been commercially successful and critically acclaimed, The Bourne Ultimatum is the only film in the trilogy to have been nominated for any Academy Award, winning all three of its nominations for Best Film Editing, Best Sound, and Best Sound Editing at the 80th Academy Awards. Wounded by a gunshot from Russian assassin Kirill (in the previous film, The Bourne Supremacy), Jason Bourne evades Moscow police and goes into hiding. Six weeks later, Guardian correspondent Simon Ross (Paddy Considine) meets with someone to discuss Bourne and Operation Treadstone. Bourne goes to Paris to inform Marie's brother, Martin (Daniel Brühl), that she is dead. The CIA begin tracking Ross after he mentions "Operation Blackbriar" over a cell phone call. Bourne travels to London where he asks to meet with Ross at Waterloo Station after learning that Ross has been investigating Operation Treadstone. When Bourne realizes that the CIA are tracking Ross, he helps Ross evade capture, but Ross deviates from Bourne's instructions and is killed by Blackbriar assassin Paz on orders from Operation Blackbriar's director Noah Vosen.
