"So, you're telling me that we have a script, locations set, storyboards drawn, pre-production in process... but we don't have Jason Bourne or Greengrass in the project any more?"

-Umm, yes, Sir, sorry, Sir!

"Looks like we have to pull the plug then..."

-Sir! Please wait, Sir! We could just... bring in some other actor and director and continue with the project!

"You mean someone else to play Bourne?"

-No, Sir! We could... we could write in a character in place of Bourne... who is another agent just like Bourne with all his training and cloudy past jibamajab!

"...so it would be a Bourne movie..?"

-YES SIR!

"...based on a Bourne novel..."

-YES SIR!

"...but is not a part of the Bourne canon..."

-NO SIR!

"...and is actually about some completely random assassin..."

-YES SIR!

"...who will add no new value to the Bourne storyline?"

-YES SIR!


"Then why on Earth would we even greenlight it at this point?!"


-We'll call it.... The Bourne Legacy.

not gonna be the same without matt daaaamon



The whole movie series is just a cash cow now anyways. Only the Bourne Identity film shares even a slight resemblance to Ludlum's books, and now with this new guy writing shitty Bourne sequels literally every year they are going to have tons of new material to make into movies

regardless, this movie looks like its gonna be pretty entertaining and i always love me some edward norton

Excited for the new one buy not excited that Damon isnt in it. I had heard he turned it down then weeks later wanted to go back on that decision and they said no they already have a contract with the new guy.

I dont care if it doesnt align with the books, its a movie for gods sake. I just hope it is non stop intense action like the rest of them.

they ended it perfectly in the bourne ultimatum. Why, why must production companies always over-do it? It looks good but is completely irrelevant to the original story as Mike-O stated. Fuck.

Edward Norton is in it though, and I like his acting. We'll see how it plays out. From what I remember. It was just Jason and the other guy, but he killed the other guy in the field. So it'll be interesting to see how this goes

pretty much any scene where bourne was hand to hand.

disarming those marines in the embassy, or in the back room at the train station in the second one(?) where the dude was like 'yup, thats bourne'

Yeah, I mean, seeing reboots or reimaginings of comic book characters or old legends, which have seen more different pens or mouths than any old wives' tale, it can make sense.

But just skimping a script on a non-canon story and pushing it forward with tediously formed connections to the previous franchise with a full-blown BOURNE shining on the billboards... Why not just create a new IP and see if they have what it takes without riding on a name?

fuck. I heard about this the other day & just assumed Matt Damon would be in it.... I guess this could be dope, though, as long as there are some shots of my fashion idol PAMELA LANDY in it
