Director Paul Greengrass made his career by creating docu-dramas, including United 93, in documentary style. He's returned to handle another chapter in the Bourne series, The Bourne Ultimatum. He talks about finessing grit – with finesse!

Elvis talks to him about the controversial book Spycatcher, which he co-authored with ex-MI5 agent Peter Wright; how his early work at Granada TV shaped his approach to filmmaking; the importance of truth, tempo and a point of view in crafting a film; and how directing two of the three Bourne movies showed him that he had a sense of fun!
