Bourne Legacy to have Asian Premiere in the Philippines

The upcoming BOURNE LEGACY which has had many of its scenes shot in the Philippines, specifically Metro Manila and Palawan, will be having its Asian Premiere here in the Philippines, at Resorts World Manila in Pasay City, Philippines on August 5, 2012.

BOURNE LEGACY is the fourth film in the Bourne series. This sequel, however, will not be having the Jason Bourne character on it (neither Matt Damon, of course), but it is set in the same universe and continuity as the Bourne series. It will have the same characters; Pamela Landy (played by Joan Allen), Noah Vosen (played by David Strathairn), and Exra Kramer Scott Glenn), and Dr. Albert Hirsch (Albert Finney). To be specific, this movie revolves around the same shadow group and assassin program that has created Jason Bourne, and a new assassin character named Kenneth Gibson who is heavily compared to Jason Bourne.

A new character in this Bourne series is Eric Byer, played by Edward Norton, who plays a major character in this movie. The movie also includes a cast of Filipino actors and actresses, that include John Arcilla, Lou Veloso, Andre Tiangco, Madeleine Nicolas, Ruby Ruiz, Anne Garcia, Ermie Concepcion and Joel Torre. There has been talk that Izza Calzado, Jericho Rosales and Sid Lucero also appear in the movie, but that's not yet officially confirmed; they may merely have very minor roles or even merely be just extras in this film.

THE BOURNE LEGACY is directed by Tony Gilroy, who served as a writer for all of the Bourne films (that starred Matt Damon) and also wrote and directed DUPLICITY and MICHAEL CLAYTON. That should give us some strong optimism towards the film.
