Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass reunite to bring back Jason Bourne

Universal Pictures is currently working on reuniting Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass for another Bourne movie. Initially, the plan was to make a follow-up to the Bourne Legacy, which starred Jeremy Renner, and to have it helmed by Justin Lin. The development of that follow-up was stalled when the studio focused on trying to get Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass on the Bourne franchise. But according to reports, the Renner spinoff is still in development with Lin. So does this mean that there will be two separate Bourne movies being developed side-by-side? Although I would want to see the Bourne universe to go back to the Philippines, sad to say that the Renner Bourne just felt like a filler episode, and will probably evaporate when the Damon/Greengrass Bourne movie will launch.

THE BOURNE LEGACY poster & first teaser trailer has been released online

The first teaser poster and the first official teaser trailer for THE BOURNE LEGACY have recently been released online.

Filming for THE BOURNE LEGACY may still be going on in Metro Manila, Philippines, but the early teaser poster for the movie, and an early teaser trailer has already hit the net.

THE BOURNE LEGACY is the fourth film to the Bourne series which began with THE BOURNE IDENTITY (2002), then THE BOURNE SUPREMACY (2004) and THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM (2007). THE BOURNE LEGACY is considered a spin-off to the original series because it will not feature the main character of the first three movies, Jason Bourne. It will, however, be set in the same universe of the first three movies, and will feature many of the characters of the first three movies as well.

The Bourne Legacy, to shoot in Manila, with Jeremy Renner on its crosshairs

The Bourne series continue on "The Bourne Legacy" with Jeremy Renner on the lead, and to be set in Manila

The Bourne movies, based upon the Bourne books from master spy novelist Robert Ludlum, that starred Matt Damon and directed by Doug Liman and Paul Greengrass are probably one of the best and most spectacular espionage movies ever made. All three movies "Bourne Identity", "Bourne Supremacy", and "Bourne Ultimatum" was a great trilogy that had a relatively decent apparent ending.

Or so we thought it ended there. In January 2010, Matt Damon said that there would "probably be a prequel of some kind with another actor and another director before we do another one just because I think we're probably another five years away from doing it." The Bourne series shall continue with "The Bourne Legacy", but Matt Damon will not be the central character of this sequel; it will be a different character, and Jeremy Renner would be this main character in the movie. Although, it's a different character, it will be a story that will be set around the continuity of the first three movies.
