Tony Gilroy will direct THE BOURNE LEGACY

"Prepare for the unexpected." What, like another Bourne movie? Or unexpected as in a CIA assassin that uses pseudonyms gets caught up in a web of lies and conspiracies?

James Newton Howard will score "The Bourne Legacy". This is great news, his score for "Green Lantern" was pretty good.

There are worse choices, but I really enjoyed John Powell's scores for the first three and was hoping for more.

Same here. John Powell's scores for those movies were tremendous. I was really hoping he would return. Oh, well.

Sidebar:

Perhaps, all the way back in 1969 George Lazenby stepped away from James Bond after only 1 film because he was being overwhelmingly compared to Sean Connery and he (Lazenby) thought that the series would come to an end pretty soon without Connery's presence -- so Lazenby decided to jump ship after only 1 film, because he didn't want to be labled with 2 films (or more...) in a sinking franchise.

Of course, history proved otherwise, but it would not be surprising if Jeremy Renner himself is self-conscious right now about all the comparisons to Matt Damon's Jason Bourne.

And here's the somewhat underwhelming poster:

Looks like Renner's character shops in the same clothes shops as Bourne, doesn't it?

So the "Bourne Legacy" is Jason's fashion line! That would also explain why it's "unexpected".

That's a "low key" Top Gear intro line if ever there was one...

Pic of Renner meeting Norton (wonder if they discussed The Avengers...), while Tony Gilroy talks about the movie's plot:

During an interview with MTV, director Tony Gilroy explained the corelation between "Bourne Legacy" and its predecessors. "Everything that happened before was not a dream. Everything that happened was completely real, but you thought you knew what was going on," he said. "You thought you were seeing the world, and this movie is telling you that there's a much larger world, a much larger conspiracy beyond this."

"The events of the other three films are incredibly present, but they're not really in this very much. What happens in 'Ultimatum' is really the spark that's blowing open the door to this movie because the Jason Bourne story is exploding out into the public," he added. "Being impossible to conceal any further is causing problems for this much larger conspiracy. 'Ultimatum' plays in the background of the very beginning of this film."

Gilroy also discussed the difference between Jason Bourne and Renner's new character. He explained, "The great thing about Jason Bourne was that he was claustrophobically stuck down and trying to figure out this moral question. The whole second film is about an apology. It's really about this guy trying to morally come to grips with the conflict between who he thinks he is and what he's done."

"This character in this film has no moral conflict whatsoever. Jeremy Renner's character has the reverse of amnesia. He knows exactly where he's come from. He knows exactly what the stakes are if he doesn't achieve his journey. It's a very different tone, yet it will be very rewarding to people," the director continued.

Should've gone with the tagline: The Untold Tale

The new (really short) Japanese trailer with some new footage (although I'm pretty sure that a few shots are from the previous films):

[Captaindemotion]

The full trailer is now out. Looks very good. Gilroy's direction is arguably more like Doug Liman's than Paul Greengrass' from what I can see. The events of the previous movies seem to tie in quite a bit - at least two characters who were offed in the original trilogy feature prominently in this trailer.

[Brikar99]

That motorcycle chase looks pretty cool.

 

[nvek86]

Good new trailer, they finally show a bit more about the story and how it will tie in with the other films.

Spoiler: speculation about plot

I guess thanks to Bourne's action in Bourne Ultimatum, they decide to shut the whole program down and kill everyone who worked there. And for some reason Renner doesn't want to be killed...

I'm in.

I think the plot dynamic of the new Jason Bourne being fully aware of what the program entails (and not an amnesiac like the previous one) will make this a much different type of film. The first trilogy was very much about discovering who he was. This one will be very much about discovering why those who trained him want him dead.

I'm very excited!

It looks about as good as this sort of thing could be, but I'm still not crazy about a Bourne movie lacking the title character. I like Tony Gilroy, though, so...maybe.

I wonder if we'll get some small cameo, even if it's in stock footage. I recall we got that stock footage cameo of Selene in Underworld 3.

Be awesome if it were some really secret scene filmed though with Damon...post credits tease?!!

 

[Harvey]

That would be pretty cool, although I doubt he's involved. Damon was denying interest in the series absent Paul Greengrass a while before this one got going. There's some stock footage of him in the trailer, though, so that might translate to similar use in the movie.

‘Bourne Legacy’ Delaying Release Because Of ‘Total Recall and ‘The Dark Knight Rises’

Universal just announced that it is moving The Bourne Legacy starring Jeremy Renner off its August 3rd release date to August 10 to get out of the way of both Sony’s Total Recall and Warner Bros/Legendary’s The Dark Knight Rises. In addition, the studio says it also wants to take advantage of an extra week of London Summer Olympics promotion.

 

[captcalhoun]

i wonder if that affects the UK date of 15/8
