Jeremy Renner will return as Aaron Cross in the sequel to THE BOURNE LEGACY, which is a spinoff of the Bourne series. Universal Pictures is set to make this follow-up movie and hired Sherlock Holmes and Invictus screenwriter Anthony Peckham to write the script. Ever since the end of the third Bourne movie, Universal has been trying to get Matt Damon back to the series (and the spinoff), there were even rumors that both Damon and Renner should both appear (possibly as allies or rivals) in the movie after 'Legacy. But it looks like Damon will not be around for more Bourne, and this new movie is just going to feature Renner as the main character. [continue after the jump]
We Filipinos will surely be wondering if Renner and the entire Bourne crew will indeed return to the Philippines to shoot more Bourne. During the last point of the previous movie (The Bourne Legacy, spoiler alert!), we see Aaron Cross and his love interest (played by Rachel Weisz) sail away around Palawan waters. It would make sense if the Bourne crew would come back to shoot the continuation of what happened in the previous movie. This time, though, it will probably be on some coastal location, rather than be in some urban setting like Metro Manila.
The Bourne Legacy failed to match the box office success of its predecessors, the pic went on to gross a respectable $276 million worldwide. It’s unclear if Legacy writer/director Tony Gilroy is returning to direct this next Bourne installment, but given that Gilroy has written the screenplays for all of the previous Bourne movies, the hiring of Peckham signals that he might not return for this new Cross adventure.
