It wasofficially announcedearly last week that directorTony Gilroy(ofMichael Clayton, Duplicity) would be taking over theBournefranchise to bring us the fourth new sequel calledThe Bourne Legacy. But, of course, since Paul Greengrass won't be back, neither will Matt Damon, so this isnotgoing to be the sequel we're all probably expecting. Gilroy called Jeff Wells ofHollywood Elsewhereafter the news broke last week to give himactualdetails on what to expect:"This is not a reboot or a recast or a prequel. No one's replacing Matt Damon. There will be awhole new hero, a whole new chapter… this is a stand-alone project."Wow.
So no Jason Bourne, a new"hero", a fresh start, isn't that exactly what a franchiserebootis, especially if they're at least continuing with a CIA super-agent who goes on the run."The easiest way to think of it is an expansion or a reveal,"Gilroy added."Jason Bourne will not be in this film, but he's very muchalive. What happened in the first three films is thetriggerfor what happens. I'm building a legend and an environment and a wider conspiracy… the world we're making enhances and advances and invites Jason Bourne's return {down the road}."Okay,nowI'm intrigued! Gilroy is one of my personal favorite directors and I had a good feeling he would eventually take overBourneand it sounds like he's got some very interesting plans for this.
"Everything you saw in the first three films actually happened, and everyone who got into will be rewarded for paying attention. We're going to show you thebigger picture, the bigger canvas. When you see what we're going and see what we're doing it'll be pretty obvious."TheBournefranchise had a fantastic finale in 2007 withThe Bourne Ultimatum, but has been on a rocky road ever since because Universal wants more, but not many others do. They've hired countless writers to take a crack at a story and honestly I don't even know who's behind the script that Gilroy is using. Whatever the case, now we know where they're headed.
