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

I quite like Jeremy Renner since I saw him in "The Town"

[Muhammad Farrukh]

He was awesome in 'The Hurt Locker' too

Looks pretty good though even though i'm kinda upset (just a little) about no Jason Bourne. I'll definitely watch it though as it looks pretty action packed, just how I like my movies :)

Ed Norton. That's one way to revitalize my interest in a movie.

Rachel Weisz for me. ;)

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.

hmm no

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

Dont really seem interested in it atm, might be cause they exposed it and seemed over,, yet seems now back with ssame names and people

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

[Snafu]

So has this new guy gone rogue or he is still working for the CIA?

Would be awesome to have this guy and Matt Damon in the next movie. The Bourne Collision?

[Twiddle]

Meh. Jeremy Renner is okay, but I've always felt he was a better supporter, than a star in a film. SWAT was decent. Just not sure how I feel about him taking over, never really liked him all that much.

Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton having steamy spy sex?

Looks like parts of it are recreations of the origional but the actual character is after treadstone

I was surprised to see Edward Norton but I think Jeremy Renner is great for the role of a CIA operative.

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.

Apparently the Bourne Legacy will take place concurrently with the Bourne Ultimatum!

[Rappy Veteran]

wow looks rather awesome!

[djdanster]

Looks great :D

I'm warming up to this movie now. I first wanted to see how it tied in with the original trilogy, this looks like a nice parallel to the third movie

Agreed, casting Renner was a great choice.
