Director Paul Greengrass has decided not to direct the next instalment of 'Bourne' movie because he wants to take different challenges as a filmmaker.

'My decision to not return a third time as director is simply about feeling the call for a different challenge,' imdb.com quoted him as saying.

There were reports that his decision came after creative differences with Universal Pictures' decision to develop dual scripts0 but Greengrass denies it.

He said: 'There's been no disagreement with Universal Pictures. The opportunity to work with the 'Bourne' family again is a difficult thing to pass up, but we have discussed this together and they have been incredibly understanding and supportive. I've been lucky enough to have made four films for Universal, and our relationship continues.'
