Film Preview: The Bourne Legacy

With the lack of original ideas in Hollywood at the moment it seems inevitable that the Bourne franchise would return even without Matt Damon in the lead role, the question that remains is whether it can live up to the originals. The man in the directing chair is Tony Gilroy who wrote the screenplay for the original three whilst the lead role this time goes to Jeremy Renner, who was excellent in The Town and more of an after thought in Avengers Assemble. Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton make up the other lead roles with Norton playing the primary antagonist.

It has already been confirmed that Matt Damon who played the original Jason Bourne will not feature in the film (sorry) but it is based on ''Operation Blackbriar'' which is a program mentioned at the end of the first film, The Bourne Identity, by Ward Abbott (Brian Cox).
