The Bourne Legacy (2012)
 

teaser

so this movie was on the rumor mill for a while
This isn't a Bourne recast like the Bond movies
it's meant to be a side story line with another operative in the Bourne universe. Nothing is really concrete yet but the part has been offered to Jeremy Renner. Latest news is Rachel Weisz wants to be the female lead.
Tony Gilroy is directing (screenwriter for the trilogy) projecting for late summer release next year. Not based on the book with the same name in any way.

Renner would fit in a bourne movie quite well..but he's getting too big for a franchise like this (especially cause he's also going to be in MI4 and be in the Avengers). Weisz would be great, anything is better than Julia Styles. I feel the triology ended almost perfectly. But I also think if they pull this movie off nicely then Damon and the shakycam director Paul Greengrass can come back strong in a few years as a more mature/older Bourne.

I FRIKEN LOVED THE BOURNE TRILOGY.
Jeremy Renner is a dam good actor, I'm totally stoked about this.

Yeah I also loved the Bourne Trilogy, and I also agree that it ended perfectly!

The Bourne Trilogy was awesome! Looking forward to this already.

all that talk in the MI4 thread reminded me of this thread
looks like Renner accepted the role for sure...and filming starts next month/Sept in new york followed by somewhere in canada and SE Asia
woot about time they took the bourne series into Asia

they didnt seek Renner for the role Renner sought them

and he wasn't the directors or studios choice but the actors they wanted wouldnt do a screen test or had the time to meet the schedule for this rush job (rush cuz Universals rights to the film is gonna run up unless they make another asap)

shame they didnt just get Damon again

havent seen any of the films yet

been meaning to for awhile though

Where you reading this? I was reading the news from few months ago and i was the under the assumption it was the director's pick but not the studio's

get on it now, all three are fricken wicked!!

Did a quick google on "Jeremy Renner Gay" because I heard somewhere that he was.....turns out he's seeing E's Assistant on Entourage (the british chick).

Her

she's hotter than sasha grey, sloan, and turtle's girl when i watched entourage IMO

I have to say Sloan is looking sorta old. I think this girl's accent pushes it over the top as well. Turtle's girl is hot......but I'm not as enamored by her as I would be with Sloan.

He's not taking over Damon's character, He's a totally different character set in Bourne's universe. We'll see how they are going link them together.


I thought the professor already died?

^ i was hoping this movie could take place before Identity..that's all lol

If any of you here are readers, I'd highly recommend reading the Bourne series. I kept putting it off until just a few months ago and I totally shouldn't have.

Anyways, if it's true that Renner isn't taking over Damon's character as Jason Bourne, then I would really have no problem with that. Renner is a good actor, but he's not fit for the character of Jason Bourne (or Damon's interpretation of Jason Bourne). Having read some of the Ludlum's novels, I'm even more convinced that casting Matt Damon for the original trilogy was pure genius.

Hard to say. When Bourne Identity's movie adaptation first came out people doubted Damon's ability to reprise the Bourne role because we knew him from Good Will Hunting. I think if Renner was given that same opportunity he would do very well too.

If I had a choice it would still be Damon though

Apparently there was an old british tv-movie based on the Bourne books as well...not very well known.

edward norton will likely be the antagonist..dont know how i feel about that as much as i appreciate his performance in other films.

Renner as a new operative I don't have a problem with.

:fuckyea:
man i dont think they are completely done shooting yet...so i wasn't expecting a trailer so soon.

made my day.

meh... i want a Matt Damon sequel

not some copy trying to profit off the name

i think most fans would rather see a sequel...but if you are bothered by the name of the movie...it actually make sense...he's bourne's legacy
but to have a side story that explains treadstone a little better also makes sense
if they pull this off nicely it will strengthen the franchise even more
fingers crossed...edward norton and jeremy renner usually does not disappoint.

Jeremy Renner has quickly jumped to the top of my favorite actors list after I saw him in The Town. Now I look forward to every movie he's in :D

this should be good. I have a free movie ticket that I have had for over a year now, finally found a movie to use it on lol.
