Filmmaker Doug Liman said he felt insecure when he was making "The Bourne Identity" as he thought it wouldn't be as good as "Mission: Impossible".
Liman, 52, directed the first installment of the Matt Damon franchise back in 2002 but as a big James Bond fan he was worried he was making a "poor man's spy movie", reported Contactmusic.
"I felt so insecure while I was making 'The Bourne Identity' that I was making a poor man's spy movie. There was someone of the set who had the 'Mission: Impossible' ring tone on his phone, and every time his phone rang it drove me nuts because I was afraid my movie was never going to be as good as 'Mission: Impossible'," he said.
"It was never going to be as good as James Bond. So it was really surreal afterwards to go and see the next James Bond film, and be like, 'Oh, I did make a James Bond film, because now the James Bond film looks like 'The Bourne Identity'.
