'The Bourne Legacy' New Trailer: Matt Damon Cameo?
39 minutes ago | CineMovie | See recent CineMovie news »
Does the new trailer for The Bourne Identity hint at a cameo from Matt Damon returning as Jason Bourne? We hope so because the new preview delivers on the action and the plotline for the espionage thriller.
Watch Trailer Below
Matt Damon opted out of another Bourne Identity movie but there is hope he may make a cameo in the Jeremy Renner film. In the new The Bourne Identity trailer, Jason Bourne's (Damon) image is shown in a news report which mentions the investigation of Treadstone.
As most predicted, the plot revolves around Renner being a programmed agent from the same government agency that produced Jason Bourne. The Treadstone project includes various Bourne-like agents around the world. "Jason Bourne was the tip of the iceberg." proclaims Edward Norton, the lead agent now heading

'The Bourne Legacy' Trailer: Jeremy Renner Fills In For Matt Damon (Video)
1 June 2012 11:34 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
While fans were mourning the loss of their titular hero in "The Bourne Identity" series, director Tony Gilroy made a promise: "No one's replacing Matt Damon. There will be a whole new hero, a whole new chapter...Jason Bourne will not be in this film, but he's very much alive." Now, months later, Gilroy has made good on that sentiment. The first trailer for "The Bourne Legacy," which features Jeremy Renner filling in for Damon, has arrived. In "Legacy," Renner plays Aaron Cross, a genetically altered super-killer. "Jason Bourne was the tip of the iceberg," says Edward Norton as a potential bad guy in Universal's full-length trailer. Here, we see Renner run, jump, and (duh) kill like a pro, all while putting the moves on a beautiful scientist, played by Rachel Weisz. So rest easy, "Bourne" purists: the essence of Jason Bourne is alive and well! (Lookout for a brief Matt Damon cameo. »

The Bourne Legacy trailer: will it bring you running?
1 June 2012 8:51 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Jason Bourne was an athletic modern riposte to the suaveness and gadgetry of Bond. Jeremy Renner as Not-Bourne throws genetically altered chromosomes into the bargain
Who's better, Bond or Bourne? It's a question that's been posed ever since Matt Damon first started pegging it over rooftops in The Bourne Identity just over a decade ago. While Bond may have his wit, his gadgets, his charm and his Walther Ppk, Bourne had Olympic-level running-away skills and was very, very good at forgetting stuff.
Damon isn't even in The Bourne Legacy, but newcomer Jeremy Renner (starring as Not-Bourne) is revealed in the trailer (above) as a genetically modified update on the old Operation Treadstone model. In other words, he's a superhero of sorts, a fact he duly shows off by pegging it over rooftops in grand fashion.
Yes, just as you were wondering exactly why Hollywood is bothering to make a fourth »

Hot Trailer: ‘The Bourne Legacy’ With Jeremy Renner
31 May 2012 10:25 AM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Universal Pictures has just released a new trailer for The Bourne Legacy, the Tony Gilroy-directed spinoff film that stars Jeremy Renner as a Treadstone assassin, same as Matt Damon’s Jason Bourne in the Robert Ludlum novels. The surprise in this trailer is how much Jason Bourne there is in the trailer. You’ll recall that Damon wasn’t ready to make another installment of The Bourne Identity franchise when director Paul Greengrass said no. Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Stacy Keach and Oscar Isaac also star while Albert Finney, Joan Allen, David Strathairn and Scott Glenn are back. Damon has left the door open to reprising Jason Bourne, and it looks here like they’ve allotted him ample room to do that while giving stage to the rising Renner. Frank Marshall produced with Captivate’s Jeffrey Weiner and Ben Smith. The film opens August 3. »

New Image from The Bourne Legacy Starring Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz
28 May 2012 9:29 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
A new image from Tony Gilroy's The Bourne Legacy has gone online. We had previously seen set photos of co-star Rachel Weisz, but this is the first official image of Weisz' mysterious character, Marta, and we see her standing next to the new Jason Bourne (Jeremy Renner). Wesiz is tight-lipped about her character details, telling EW "What am I allowed to say? I think almost nothing at all." I didn't really think the veil of super-secrecy extended to a Bourne movie (it's not like she's playing a character we already know from some other medium), but perhaps she has a more complex role than simply a love-interest who gets swept up in Bourne's intrigue (a la Franke Potente in The Bourne Identity). Hit the jump to check out the image. The film also stars Edward Norton, Oscar Isaac, Joan Allen, David Strathairn, Albert Finney, Stacy Keach, Scott Glenn, Corey Stoll and Donna Murphy. »

First Look at Rachel Weisz Together with Jeremy Renner in 'The Bourne Legacy'
28 May 2012 8:02 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
The first look at Rachel Weisz in The Bourne Legacy appeared in the print edition of "Entertainment Weekly" (via The Playlist), giving us our first look at her character, Marta, who would appear, based on the image, to be fitting into the Franka Potente and Julia Stiles role from the first three films as the character Matt Damon as Jason Bourne was meant to protect, by accident in some cases. This time around Damon is gone and Jeremy Renner will star in the film as Aaron Cross, another one of Treadstone's assassins whose story is triggered based on the events that took place in The Bourne Identity, Supremacy and Ultimatum. Who Marta is and who Aaron really is, for that matter, isn't entirely clear, but a new trailer for the film is set to premiere in front of Snow White and the Huntsman this weekend so I suspect more of »

Rachel McAdams Joins Philip Seymour Hoffman in A Most Wanted Man Adaptation
22 May 2012 7:45 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Back when I was reading up a storm, I never got into John le Carre, one of the biggest names in the spy novel game. I was always more partial to Robert Ludlum of “The Bourne Identity” fame, for no other reason except it was one of the very first novels I ever picked up, and I don’t know, I like reading people whose work I’ve liked in the past. And I’ll be damn if Ludlum had a ton of books, so it wasn’t like I was ever at the risk of running out of reading material. So, John le Carre. One of these days I’ll pick up one of his books and realize I should have read it sooner. Until that day, though, I’ll just have to make do with movie versions of his books, the latest of which is “A Most Wanted Man »

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje: 'I didn't want to be black. So I joined the skinheads…'
12 May 2012 4:13 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
As an actor in Lost, he was watched worldwide. As a child, he was a 'black Oliver Twist', farmed out for fostering to a white family. Now Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is making a film of his extraordinary life story
The name Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is not one that slips easily off the tongue but it's worth mastering because we're likely to be hearing a lot more of it in the future. Followers of the wilfully perplexing American fantasy series Lost may recall its owner as Mr Eko, the former drug lord turned fake priest who was killed by the Man in Black, otherwise known as the Monster. Or perhaps not.
Some will know him as Simon Adebisi, the intimidating African convict in the cult HBO prison series Oz; others may recognise his contributions to films such as Congo and The Bourne Identity; and no doubt his role as an American spy »

The hope is to turn this into a franchise, with Frank Marshall producing through Kennedy/Marshall. Marshall has guided The Bourne Identity franchise.

Hollywood Unhinged – How the demons scared off the friendly ghosts
8 May 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
On evil kiddie spirits, gritty exorcisms and why some ghosts may prefer a good book.
Silent House offers the latest dose of creepy dwellings, scary kids with straggly hair and empty rooms with lights that don’t work. This one stands out from the crowd as it apparently unfolds in just a single shot and stars up-and-comer Elizabeth Olsen.
Supernatural thrillers show no sign of losing their appeal. Paranormal Activity revealed how much dramatic mileage there is in a static camcorder, a dark corridor and a light that switches itself on and off. Not to mention alarmingly regular home invasions from a malevolent demon.
Now that the studios have once again got wise to the gritty, found-footage format, grainy exorcism movies trip over themselves to dominate the horror market. Images of possessed teenage girls screaming at their elders in gravelly demonic snarls have kick-started their own sub-genre. Nothing grips audiences »

Bourne Again, But This Time It’S Jeremy Renner

After receiving Oscar nods for his work in The Hurt Locker and The Town, Jeremy Renner parlayed that success with co-starring roles in such high profile studio fare as Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol and with the worldwide hit The Avengers. Renner gets the chance to take over his own franchise as the lead in The Bourne Legacy, the latest installment in the series which is directed by The Bourne Identity writer Tony Gilroy. Renner actually received advice from Matt Damon about the challenges of doing a Bourne movie. (Click on the audio player to hear Jeremy Renner)Jeremey Renner

'Dark Knight Rises,' 'Avengers,' and the great superhero showdown of 2012
1 May 2012 1:23 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
It isn’t hyperbole to say that this summer will witness the release of the two biggest superhero movies ever made. This Friday, Marvel Studios will finally bring its madcap five-year plan to fruition with the release of The Avengers, a mega-sequel action bonanza. But, as my colleague Adam B. Vary points out, moviegoers who see The Avengers this weekend will be treated to a preview for a very different comic book film: The Dark Knight Rises, the concluding chapter of Christopher Nolan’s bleak epoch-defining Batman trilogy. It’s not just that The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises »

The Playlist's 10 Most Anticipated Blockbusters Of The Summer Season
30 April 2012 7:58 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
It feels like the summer movie season has been underway for some time already, given that last month saw the arrival of huge blockbuster "The Hunger Games," as well as "21 Jump Street," an R-rated comedy that's taken an enormously impressive $130 million. And that's even without mentioning those that hoped to be big box office stuff, but fell at the first: "John Carter," already taking its place among the annals of the great flops, and "Wrath Of The Titans," which has taken less than half what its predecessor made domestically.
So yes, 2012 has already brought its share of blockbusters, but we're just getting started. Next week brings "The Avengers," the first salvo in a four-month-long cascade of tentpoles that cost more than the Gdp of a third-world country, star-laden comedies and animated extravaganzas. Between now and the middle of August, every single week brings at least one major studio movie, and »

Kristen Stewart/Snow White And The Huntsman Sequel
27 April 2012 3:41 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Kristen Stewart, Snow White and the Huntsman Snow White And The Huntsman Sequel in the Works? As a result of the Hollywood Reporter article, the Internet became abuzz with rumors and speculations that Snow White (Kristen Stewart) would thus fall by the sidelines in the Snow White and the Huntsman sequel(s). Of course, everything is possible. But that would be a bizarre, myopic move on the part of Universal both in terms of story cohesiveness and box office. After all, not only is Snow White the central element in the tale — her very being sets the plot in motion — but Kristen Stewart’s box-office pull in a major movie would be underestimated only by total fools. (Not that Hollywood doesn’t have its large share of those in positions of power.) Those who claim that the Twilight movies would have become worldwide blockbusters with or without Stewart as Bella »

[Interview] ‘Safe’ Producer Lawrence Bender Talks Jason Statham, Shooting Challenges In New York City & More
25 April 2012 7:30 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Having worked on everything from Reservoir Dogs to Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill to Inglorious Basterds, Lawrence Bender’s reputation as a producer has become forever intertwined with the filmography of Quentin Tarantino (though, interestingly enough, he’s not on board for the writer-director’s upcoming Django Unchained). That’s perhaps the main reason why Bender’s recurring affiliation with Boaz Yakin, the writer-director behind Safe, has been largely unnoticed. Admittedly, Safe is the first Bender-Yakin collaboration since 1998′s A Price Above Rubies, but, as you’ll learn in the interview below, Bender and Yakin have remained extremely close since the days that preceded 1994′s even Fresh, and the producer has since been in constant search for something that would reunite the two in a professional environment as well as a personal one.
Also discussed in the interview is a gripe that was also made ever so clear by Yakin »

11 Movie Characters That Guys Want To Think Like
20 April 2012 6:10 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
In honor of the release of the new comedy Think Like a Man, we at Screen Rant decided to create a list of eleven male movie characters that guys want to actually think like. In making the list, we followed two simple rules: the characters had to be male and they couldn’t be based on anyone in real life.
For each character we chose, we note the situations in which guys would want to think like these characters. As an example, we might not think like Jason Bourne (The Bourne Identity) in everyday life but if we were in a hand-to-hand combat situation, we would definitely want to think like him. That way, we could outsmart, outmaneuver and outlast our opponents.
With that ...

How Francis Lawrence can make 'Catching Fire' an improvement on 'The Hunger Games'
20 April 2012 8:52 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
The revelation that Francis Lawrence will be taking over the director’s chair on Catching Fire does not seem to be filling Hunger Games fans with much excitement: Our comment boards are currently filling up with responses that vary from “Wait, the Constantine guy?!?!” to “How come they didn’t get Joss Whedon/Alfonso Cuarón/David Fincher/Kathryn Bigelow?” to “Eh, I Am Legend wasn’t bad.” And there are certainly reasons to be skeptical about the Hunger Games sequel. Lionsgate’s insistence on a Thanksgiving 2013 release date doesn’t give Lawrence much time to plan. That’s unfortunate, since »

Blunt Joins Cruise in 'Kill,' Connelly Rumored for 'Noah,' 'Muppets 2' Talk and Vaughn Eyes 'Rockford'
17 April 2012 1:28 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Emily Blunt is in talks to join Tom Cruise in All You Need is Kill directed by Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity) and adapted on the graphic novel of the same name. The story is said to be in the vein of Groundhog Day with a twist, centering on a soldier in a war against aliens who finds himself reliving his last day over and over after being killed. Through the training and battles he experiences in these time loops, he becomes a better soldier. Blunt will play another soldier who fights alongside Cruise. The same report also says Blunt is among the top choices to star alongside Johnny Depp in the Warner Bros. remake The Thin Man with Emma Stone and Kristen Wiig also being among the top contenders. I already detailed that shortlist which you can read about here. [source] We recently learned Paramount dated Darren Aronofsky's Noah »

Emily Blunt in talks for All You Need Is Kill
17 April 2012 10:58 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Emily Blunt (The Young Victoria, The Adjustment Bureau) is in negotiations to star alongside Tom Cruise (Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol) in Doug Liman's (The Bourne Identity, Jumper) sci-fi film All You Need Is Kill at Warner Bros.
Based on a graphic novel, the Groundhog Day-style story is about a soldier (Cruise) in a war against aliens who relives his last day over and over after being killed in action. He tries to train himself to become a better soldier in the hope that he can change his fate. Blunt would play Valkyrie One, one of humankind’s best soldiers, who fights alongside Cruise. The script was penned by Dante Harper and Joby Harold, who is currently doing a rewrite and also serving as executive producer.
Emily Blunt has also been meeting with director Rob Marshall (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides), who is looking for the female »

Emily Blunt To Fight Aliens With Tom Cruise In All You Need Is Kill

Emily Blunt has been very busy lately. With her films The Five-year Engagement and Looper both coming out later this year, it has now been reported that she will also be acting alongside Tom Cruise in the new Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity, Mr. And Mrs. Smith) movie called All You Need Is Kill.
Based on a graphic novel by the same name, this action-packed film follows the story of a soldier fighting a war against an alien race. However he has a problem, he is caught in a time loop and is constantly finding himself on the last day of his battle. And as he becomes more skilled, the time approaches for him to change his fate.
Cruise will play the character of the time-loop fighter, while Blunt will star as his sidekick in the battle against the aliens. It feels a bit like an action version of Groundhog Day, »
