Wow, doesn't that sound terribly interesting...
Production is due to begin in September.

40 years old now, 2 years younger Brosnan started in Goldeneye.
If there is one thing to worried about it be Kathryn Bigelow directed a Bourne movie earlier then Bond can take her. Her K-19: The Widowmaker mabey be a example for a Bond movie in Ge/TSWLM style, The Hurt Locker can be a reasen to take her for Bourne. I haven't seen both movies, i based this on the trailers. I buy that K19 movie last year in the first place to see or she is something for Bond. From earlier experience we know we the audince don't accept it if a directer trade another franchise in specialy Bond see Tamahori and Triple X Next Level.
But iam intrest, in specialy if there make some inprovements:
- One extra action scene
- Some humor.
- One extra dialogue scene. Find a middle way. From the last one there be to easy, with the second one to dificult.
- Working a litle bit more on full story. The second movie be better in this.
- 5-10 minutes longer. Credits after for the second movie starts after 1h38minutes and with number 3 after 1h41 minutes. Make it 1h48 minutes. Include credits that mean 1h.57minutes. This is Pall/R2/DVD Time.
Keep up the good work with the contunetie with The Bourne Identity, locations, music and sound & cinematopgraphy.
A actres i also have in mind who i like to see in a new Bourne movie: Jennifer Lothrop (Fantastic Four) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1293475/
One of the downsides of running EON like a family. Sometimes, new blood is needed.
I know you are young and that it inflates your ego (young men do this all the time, myself included when I was your age) to think you are right all the time but it serves no purpose here.
Couldn't agree more. The Saw movies are a modern equivelent of the old Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes movies. Quick, cheap, and easy to churn out. Police Acadamy was similar. The Bonds and the Bournes are different animals.
The annual Bond event was over by the time GF came out (after that the gap between GF and TB was actually 18 months). They couldn't keep up the 12 month gap after 1964, never mind 2012.
Also Molly Hughes is confirmd as supervising art director, she working earlier as Art Director for the last 3 Harry Potter movies. Steve E. Andrews is confirmd as First assistent directer and working earlier at The Tourist & The Talented Mr Ripley.
Goldfinger was released in the U.K, in September 1964 and in the U.S. in December 1964. Thunderball was released in December 1965.
The gap between Thunderball and You Only Live Twice was more like 18 months.
The last time the series released in consecutive years was Live And Let Die and The Man With the Golden Gun, though that was more like 18 months (LALD out in the summer of 1973, TMWTGG at Christmas 1974).
I do think also that the corny humour in Star Wars was also exported to the final two Bond movies of the 70's. The first two Rog films weren't quite the laughfests that his two late 70's efforts were.
- Or the Bourne Legacy is but a remake of the 3 others with again the same story and new action scenes ---} no danger, nothing new to bring, Bourne makes some Bourne action and that's it. The "hero looking for who he is" is already an old fashioned cliché. No danger to Bond who reinvents himself since C.R., and will again in Bond 23
- Or the Bourne Legacy takes a real new approach on the story, with new ideas, new aesthetic, gives Bourne new concerns (something else as "my memory" and "the corrupted CIA"). ---} Bourne comes closer to Bond, as an international spy who destroys everything, (and i guess a little smoother). Then, he becomes a real challenge for Bond, hunting on the same ground.
I guess the influence on Bond 23 would be that, taking the Bourne release into account, they accentuate the bondification of the Craig Era, and differentiate itself from what it borrowed to the Bourne's aesthetic. Now that Bond is back again (after 2 films), I think its time to bring back a Bondian Bond on the screen, that comes closer to the clichés of the saga.
I really loved the 2 last Bond, but since 2008, I've travelled quiet a lot, and most people I met are still critical about QOS. Even if they can appreciate the good points of Bond 22, they still find that Craig and the last Bond films are not bondian enough and can't feature Craig as a reliable Bond.
I guess if Bond 23 doesn't come closer to the saga standards, Bond will be seen as a British Bourne, and Bourne will have the upper hand. But if Bond 23 is successfully done, than people will at last see that Bourne has nothing else to bring and doesn't deserve more than a 4th movie.
Still, I'm very curious to see which approach the Bourne legacy can take, and how they manage to do a film without the main actor and the usual director. The Bond's saga had the same problem after Connery left, and I wonder if it would be possible for Bourne's films to really achieve a lasting saga (even if I don't really believe in it and i don't support this idea)
I wouldn't mind it if they carried this sort of style onto the next film, it would seem strange seeing a Bond film that stood-out from the rest in a modern way, but then took a step back-in time to a more traditional tone. I could cope with the fast edititng, as i (to be honest) like that style, though maybe make it more understanding.
Also, Universal feel and are very sure the Bourne name will sell and that's it's a top franchise.
Will name alone be enough? We'll find out next year.
I'm excited to see what the outcome of this is.
Next year we'll see if they are right...
Has anyone read "The Bourne Pottery-Class" yet? the "lost" Bourne film?
