Variety has released some exciting casting news for The Bourne Legacy, the upcoming reboot, ehhh, sequel, ummm continuation of the Jason Bourne series.
Edward Norton is in talks to play the main villain in the film which is also staring Jeremy Renner as a new Bourne, I think. There really hasn’t been much information to come out about the film so we don’t really know what to expect. Here is a comment from the director of the film, Tony Gilroy, explaining what the movie will be like:
This is not a reboot or a recast or a prequel. No one’s replacing Matt Damon. There will be a whole new hero, a whole new chapter…this is a stand-alone project,” said Gilroy.
“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 much alive. What happened in the first three films is the trigger for 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].”
Even though I’m not sure what to expect from the film, so far on casting alone I’m very excited about this film. Edward Norton is amazing in pretty much everything he is in so you can’t go wrong with casting him.
The film is set for release on August 3, 2012
