“There was never just one” that’s the tag line for the new saga.
When news broke that The Bourne franchise will continue without Matt Damon leading the way, fans were up in arms. Damon had done such a stellar job creating this indestructible super-freak experiment, the franchise was a monster hit.
Damon said he would no longer be doing the films, so in came Jeremy Renner.
Today we get our first trailer for The Bourne Legacy and let me tell you, it looks like we won’t skip a beat.
Starring with Renner will be Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Oscar Isaac, Joan Allen, Albert Finney, Stacy Keach and Scott Glenn.
With Renner as the new “Bourne-Like” assassin, and Norton as the villain, this has the right formula to reinvigorate the series.
Synopsis:
The narrative architect behind the Bourne film series, Tony Gilroy, takes the helm in the next chapter of the hugely popular espionage franchise that has earned almost $1 billion at the global box office: The Bourne Legacy. The writer/director expands the Bourne universe created by Robert Ludlum with an original story that introduces us to a new hero (Jeremy Renner) whose life-or-death stakes have been triggered by the events of the first three films. For The Bourne Legacy, Renner joins fellow series newcomers Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Stacy Keach and Oscar Isaac, while franchise veterans Albert Finney, Joan Allen, David Strathairn and Scott Glenn reprise their roles.
You can catch The Bourne Legacy August 5th, 2012.
