The Bourne Objective
The Bourne Dominion
The Bourne Imperative
From what I hear Damon might come back in future installments, and he and Renner will team up.
Renner is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors and I'm really excited to see him take over; I've never been a big fan of Matt Damon and I also think he's slightly overrated as well.
They forgot to add: The Bourne Yesterday!
Don't be such an ingrate.
It'll be called The Bourne Redundancy, considering this is all useless tripe that shouldn't have been made anyway. Hooray for money-grubbing Hollywood pigs. What would singular films do without you?
Indeed. Those are the novel names. So far, they have followed the names (although not the plots). That being said, they may have only gone with Legacy next because it made sense and happened to work out. It will be interesting to see if a sequel to legacy is still called "The Bourne Betrayal."
I think the Spider-Man reboot looks great. Not sure why everyone is hesitant to let go of the Raimi films.
I suppose the retread of the origins could be rough, perhaps they should've just done one of thos reboots like The Incredible Hulk. But, the trailer blew me away. So I'm holding out hope.
I've never really liked spiderman anyway (only saw the 1st film), but is there any point in re-telling his origins again??? I'm hoping the batman reboot after nolan leaves doesn't do this. Alot of these big franchises need to understand that you can reboot a series without telling an origin story.
Well considering Raimi should've gotten another go at it after he got screwed over during 3, not being allowed to do his ideas, fans are understandably bent. Spiderman 2 is the greatest superhero film ever next to The Dark Knight.
It is so-so. The Raimi films were great, with CGI of course where it was needed, but for the most part actual stunts were done. With this stupid reboot it seems like a special effects crap show.
Umm. It's actually the EXACT opposite. They have filmed a ton of web swinging with a guy actually swinging from wires in this movie versus the Raimi trilogy where only the take-off shots (Spidey jumping into the air) were practical effects and every other shot of Spidey in action was full blow CGI (see every swinging scene, and even little scenes such as Symbiote Spidey looking at his reflection in the building when he is first infected: 100% CGI).
Meanwhile, this film: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=36542
Do you always make such impassioned opinions about things you know so little about?
The more I watch the trailer the more I like it. I'll go see it, but I'm pretty confident it wont live up to Batman, Bond, or even the Avengers. Its just a popcorn flick, and I'll enjoy it as that.
Yeah, I don't like spiderman and I don't really want to read about him on a bourne thread.
I think it'll be better than the avengers, but I've never really liked these kind of crossovers like justice league n all that. If damon was there then I'd say it was pretty strong competition for batman and bond (bourne has topped both before imo), but since bourne isn't even there then I'd say its already below both. They could suprise me though, and as long as I don't compare it to the past films too much then I'll enjoy it.
reading dominion now. its awesome.
And thank you, @TLR. If Damon was back with the similar crew, it'd definitely be higher in my expectations.
meh. Because it's easier to go the internet route and just go straight for the attack. My apologies.
While I disagree with your analysis, I think only time will show that "The Amazing Spider-man" used many more practical affects than the Raimi films.
Meanwhile, Bourne.
I think we obviously have to see more. Bourne has always been a movie inherently set up to go down this route. It could never be "Bourne takes on this mission" because that would devalue his character arc if he started becoming a Bond like agent. He accomplished what he wanted to do and got away.
However, as the poster points out in such cliched fashion, the series has always shown the existence of others. What are there stories? Whose to say they are not more compelling than Bourne. It's a bold angle to explore, and Joe-public doesn't necessarily grasp it yet. But maybe they will.
I trust Renner to deliver in the action, at the very least.
Dan Bradley. Not realy a big suprise. He did Bourne 2 & 3 too. It take very long and before Second United Directer beconfirmd for Skyfall and Bourne 4 and i am thinking mabey Bradley going to do it (with not any movie confirmd for 2012 til now). Skyfall beconfirmd months a go it be Alexander Witt return from Casino Royale. Both second united directers are back home. Witt returns from Casino Royale and the second united directer of Bourne Legacy is expect it.... Dan Bradley.
Since QOS Dan Bradley did 2 movies include Mi4, with the from TMND borote cinematopgrapher Robert Elswit who also working on Bourne Legacy.
I don't think The Bourne Redundancy is any match for Mission Impossible. MI4 tried some great new things in both action and story, while the new Bourne looks like a copy and paste of the past series that is unfortunately inside its continuity.
With MI4 before it was shown people were sceptic too and they were proved wrong, I said it looked promising so I reserve judgement until I have seen the movie instead of the trailer or listen to some fanboy on the internet.
But MI4 was advertised as an adventure film, following a group of spies on a mission to stop a mad terrorist.
Legacy is advertising a claustrophobic look at a re-born character made up of scraps from a previous story. No big set pieces, not drawn-out dramatic scenes, just quick action, and a drawn-out storyline oddly familiar.
I'll give Legacy a chance, but I like thinking about it like that ^ so that I may be pleasantly surprised.

No Shaky Cam In "Bourne Legacy"
The Bourne franchise is not only getting new faces both in front of and behind the camera, it is set to get a whole new look - one that doesn't induce nausea.
Talking with MTV News, the film's director Tony Gilroy says you won't be seeing the 'shaky-cam' aesthetic that defined Paul Greengrass' two 'Bourne' sequels here - "Everybody in the world ripped us off. [That style] been done to death at this point. [The style is] on TV three nights a week, much less Bond and everything else. The worst thing that could have been done would be to just slavishly follow some cookie-cutter pattern of visual style and storytelling style."
He goes on to say "it's a bigger movie in the terms of the journey of it and the scale of it and the amount of stories in it and where it's going… You thought you were seeing the world, and this movie is telling you that there's a much larger world, a much larger conspiracy beyond this."
That said it's still a sequel as such - "The events of the other three films are incredibly present, but they're not really in this very much. What happens in 'Ultimatum' is really the spark that's blowing open the door to this movie. Because the Jason Bourne story is exploding out into the public. Being impossible to conceal any further is causing problems for this much larger conspiracy. 'Ultimatum' plays in the background of the very beginning of this film."
Jeremy Renner's character will also have an entirely different story arc from Damon - "The whole second film is about an apology. It's really about this guy trying to morally come to grips with the conflict between who he thinks he is and what he's done. This character in this film has no moral conflict whatsoever. Jeremy Renner's character has the reverse of amnesia. He knows exactly where he's come from. He knows exactly what the stakes are if he doesn't achieve his journey. It's a very different tone, yet it will be very rewarding to people." </blockquote>
So the style mabey going to look like "Salt" who have the same editor as Legacy and also have Robert Elswit as Cinematopgrapher. I haven't seen ''Salt'' yet and i wait til i have BD player.
