Trailer: The Bourne Legacy

Sign me up. Right now. I’m in.

The biggest question when it was reported that the “Bourne” series would continue sans Matt Damon, was who would replace him, and would it even come close to being as good?

And with this new theatrical trailer, I think we can say, at glass shattering volume, ABSOLUTELY, this looks like it’s going to be amazing.

Jeremy Renner is leading the way, and seems to fit like a glove. His nemesis will be played by Edward Norton, and the new female lead is Rachel Weisz.

The film also stars Albert Finney, Joan Allen, Scott Glenn, Stacy Keach, and Oscar Isaac.

The Bourne Legacy hits theaters on August 3rd, 2012.

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.

“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.
