until i read this. sad that a fucking violent movie actor would be against violent videogames.

"Report: Damon objected to Bourne Conspiracy violence As evidenced by Sir Anthony Hopkins' appearance in Ubisoft's movie-to-game tie-in for Beowulf last year, a growing trend in the film adaptation business is for top-tier Hollywood talent to cross over into the gaming spectrum. However, when High Moon Studios and Sierra Entertainment's Robert Ludlum's Bourne Conspiracy is released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on June 3, it will be both be a year behind the last Bourne film and noticeably lacking the movie's iconic star, Matt Damon, as Jason Bourne. The first oddity can be answered by the fact that the game has more to do with Robert Ludlum's novels from the early '90s than the recent Tony Gilroy-penned movie scripts--though, as noted in GameSpot's previous coverage, Gilroy contributed to the game's story. MTV's Multiplayer blog reports that the second is due to Matt Damon backing out of the role. Speaking to MTV, High Moon Studios business director Meelad Sadat said that Damon backed out of negotiations to lend his voice and likeness to the game while the project was still in an early stage. The reason? According to Sadat, Damon was affronted by the game's violent, interactive nature. While Damon himself gave no official explanation, it could be noted that Nancy Carlsson-Paige, Damon's mother and professor of education at Lesley University, has been publicly critical of violent games in the past, saying to The Boston Globe that she and her son share views that violence in films should not be promoted through "violent toys, products, and video games." Sadat said the studio wasn't too broken up over not having Damon associated with the project, as it gave the team more freedom to build their own Jason Bourne not beholden to action star's version of the character, according to MTV.

so he did not interact on the set with violent, in a real word and NOT a virtual world... or am i just plain crazy to think that the only way to interact with 'fake' violence in in anything other than a film?
