Offensive Threat Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Release date is Aug 3 2012. Exactly 5 years to the day after the release of The Bourne Ultimatum. Matt Damon is NOT in it. Jason Bourne is NOT the star character in it. Jeremy Renner is the new star playing an all new character (most will recognize him from The Hurt Locker, Mission impossible Ghost Protocol, The Town etc.) Not some pretty boy but a serious actor. Ed norton, Rachel Weisz, Joan Allen, Scott Glenn round out the main players. View the trailer and info at the official site : http://www.thebournelegacy.net/ Its a bold move to contimue the series without the star that it was completely based around from the beginning and no matter how good it is there will be many crying bloody murder.Think its got what it takes to contimue the Bourne series or is this turkey gonna burn? Can Renner fill Damons shoes? Im not too sure itll pan out but I like the choice of Renner as the star. IF they can pull it off we can be treated to a whole new series of Bourne movies. I like that idea. EDIT: The Bourne Ultimatum alone raked in half a billion reasons for the studio to try to keep the series alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollarAndADream Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 It sure has some great actors in it. It should do well. The movie will probably do well just because it has the name "Bourne" in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psylocke Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I am super stoked for this movie. Jeremy Renner > Matt Damon There's a chance that Damon will be back in future Bourne movies though. I think Damon asked them to write it so that it doesn't rule out a Bourne return. He just didn't want to be in this one without Greengrass.

AbbyNucksFan Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 i dunno.. looks pretty good tbh... yeah, up until now Damon has been the face of the franchise.. but nothing wrong with taking it in a new direction.. Ed Norton is an amazing actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rypien37 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 No Matt Damon = Worst grossing out of all the Bourne movies. Such a dumb move, unless he declined to be a part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.K. Chesterton Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I know there's no Jason Bourne in it, but Wahlberg could've made a good replacement...he and Damon look so alike. I also thought that Norton was originally going to be in the protagonist's role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amish Rake Fighter Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I liked the first movie, I think that the Bourne Identity was the last fiction book I read and that was well over 20 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psylocke Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Greengrass, when asked about making a Bourne 4 replied:"What would they call it? 'The Bourne Redundancy' " . he doesnt seem eager to return and if this movie works out neither he or Damon will be asked to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
