Bourne Reborn

The trailer for the Bourne Legacy has hit the internet giving fans the first glimpse of Jeremy Renner as Aaron Cross, another Treadstone manufactured bad-ass in the same vein as Matt Damon's Jason Bourne (who is 99% likely not to appear).

To show marginal continuity with the Bourne trilogy, the film will feature Joan Allen and Albert Finney. Indeed, both feature in the trailer. Plus, they even mentioned Jason Bourne by name to justify using 'Bourne' in the title and therefore keeping the franchise ticking over.

Aside from that, it is hard to know how much Bourne Legacy will resemble the Doug Liman and Paul Greengrass originals. Neither director is returning but Tony Gilroy is at the helm and has written all four Bourne screenplays which is a good sign.

That said, the action in the trailer looks a lot more over-the-top than the gritty approach taken by Gilroy's predecessors. Anyway, see for yourself....
