A bit surprised about the actors choices. Funny how Edward Norton has a leaning towards shady characters.

It is still bizarre to me that the Bourne continues without Jason Bourne and Matt Damon.

Still, when one thinks about it, Robert Ludlum wrote only three Bournes but Eric van Lustbader, who took over Ludlum, has already wrote 6 more Bournes. I just hope that Bournes are not going to become like James Bonds.

Meh, Jason Bourne is the American James Bond, its a CodeName, not a person?

Hmm... Bourne without the Bourne... Interesting twist.

I know what would be an interesting twist, a hollywood film that isn't an attempt to cash in on an existing title, or a remake, or a reboot, or whatever they decide to come up with next as an excuse.

<sigh> I suspect I will watch it though, but I'm not going to the cinema thats for sure

Guys, it's shown and hinted at in the original Bourne movies that Jason Bourne was just the first test subject etc, this isn't a reboot or a new actor taking over the same character, it's more of a side-store/spin-off if you will. I expect that parts of it happen at the same time or a little after the events in the 3rd Bourne story. I haven't gotten around to reading the books yet and I could be wrong but I think Jason Bournes story/arc, is done with the first 3 and books 4 and up move on to other things. If anyones read the later books they could pipe in here if they want, but I don't know if/when the Jason Bourne character comes back, doesn't seem to be in book 4/movie 4 but there's uhh, 9 books so far so who knows?

*Edit* Looks like I was wrong, as far as the novels go Jason is in all of them, heh. It's a bit of a shame but Mat Damon won't do another Bourne movie without the same director, which he's said officially quite a few times. So it seems to studio had no choice but to try and do a spin-off even though they're using the name of the 4th book to do it. Seems the movie and the book will only share names and nothing else.

    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art

      Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The release date of Grand Theft Auto VI has moved quite a lot since its original announcement in 2023, but it finally looks like the game has found its final launch slot. Rockstar today had a new video upload on its YouTube channel, and while it wasn't a new trailer for the game, the company revealed two things. This was the pre-order kickoff date for Grand Theft Auto VI as well as the game's official cover art. The company revealed that June 25 is when fans of the series will be able to pre-order their copy of Grand Theft Auto VI. Pre-orders will be available both digitally and in retail stores. The newly unveiled cover art shows off the two new protagonists, as well as a few more characters that are probably vital to the campaign storyline. Shots of vehicles players can use like a light helicopter, motorcycle, sports car, and speed boat are also seen here, alongside a shot of a crocodile. "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," says Rockstar describing the campaign's protagonist duo. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive." Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on November 19, 2026. A PC version has not been confirmed yet, though it's expected by many to land after the console release. When asked about this, the Take-Two CEO says it considers the core audience for the Grand Theft Auto franchise to be on consoles.

    • How to fix a Secure Boot error on Windows 11: No boot device found.

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      In rare occasions when you turn your computer on you will be greeted with a Secure Boot error followed by the message "No boot device found" If you go into the UEFI and disable Secure Boot the system boots up just fine. Below is a method I found online to fix the issue Disable Secure Boot and boot into Windows (If Bitlocker is enable you'll have to go to https://aka.ms/myrecoverykey on another device to find your bitlocker recovery key). Find a flash drive and make sure it's formatted Fat32 Create a folder on the flash drive called EFI and a subfolder inside EFI called BOOT On your computer navigate to C:\windows\boot\EFI Copy the file SecureBootRecovery.efi to your flash drive\EFI\BOOT Now reboot the computer and tell the computer to boot off that flash drive. You should see a black screen with some text telling you it has repaired Secure Boot Turn Secure Boot back on and reboot and your computer should boot normally.
