Hundreds of fans gathered in front of the historic Egyptian Theater in Boise to catch a glimpse of Matt Damon and producer Frank Marshall at a benefit screening of "The Bourne Supremacy."

The sequel to the 2002 film "The Bourne Identity" opens nationally July 23.

Proceeds from Saturday's benefit went to the Boise Contemporary Theater, now in its fifth season.

Marshall said he began visiting Boise in the early 1970s and bought property here soon after. He started bringing his movies to Boise nearly a decade later, including "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom."

"It's my favorite stop on the press tour," Damon said.
