that's fine funny people saying a bourne film without jason bourne what when matt damon isn't actually jason bourne anyway and it was shown he was one of many similar operatives

Gilroy says: "The easiest way to think of it is an expansion or a reveal," Gilroy says. "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]."

This reminds me of that Patton Oswalt bit about going back in time and meeting George Lucas, only to find out George Lucas was going to ruin the (chronological) first three Star Wars films by filling them with a ton of origin shit no one cares about. "You like Boba Fett? Well now you get to see him as a little kid!"

Summer 2012 Action Movie Trailer

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].

i like gilroy a lot but this is eeehhhhhh

is this comment from that hollywood elsewhere post true?

nemo says ...

He's trying hard to put a positive spin on the fact that Damon won't sign on for Bourne 4 without Greengrass.

no no no no nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

the hurt locker has done wonders for jeremy renner

how hard can it be too replace greengrass though, you just hold the camera close and shake it around a lot

so no one really cares about this i guess?

its ok-ish

theres a couple things i liked about it but it doesnt stand up to the previous 3 bournes in any way, really

I thought it was largely a dud. Only bit that really grabbed me was Norton and co.'s methodical tracking down of Renner and Weisz which i thought was enjoyably geeky. The action scenes were basically a bust and i couldn't take the super bad guy seriously due to his decision to wear white jeans on his killing mission.

yeah actually i think the further i get from it, the more indefensible i find the whole thing. that said i was basically on board with it up until the abominable last 25 mins or so

Should have been called "A Time To Be Bourne and A Time To Die".

Can't put my finger on exactly where it went wrong - Renner isn't as quietly charismatic as Damon? Everything was flabbier - the back and forth between Weisz and the 'psychologist' never would have made it in the first three. Characters are less fleshed out - all the players had personalities in the trilogy, here we don't get any sense of Norton/et al. as people.

Flowers for Algernon-sub plot made me lol

If it hadn't been a Bourne movie I wouldn't have thought it was terrible, but I probably wouldn't have gone to see it either.

i really liked every moment of this but it kinda didn't ever make its case for existing

i should look up what gilroy did for a living before movies (if anything ha), he has a great ear for corporate/bureaucratic environments and communication. i almost slot him in with writers like the coens/mamet where the language is super tuned up and people are talking a peculiar meta-language, so you know they're in the game. i love that stuff so it's basically enough to carry a movie for me.

the scene of the 'shrink' showing up at weisz's house was totally great. all the scenes were good! a pharma production floor, who would think to stage something there? there was nothing wrong with this, it just was missing something.

i didn't get the choice of making renner's agent a little more loose and dudely than any of the other ones. and he's all pilled out! idgi.

i liked that it was a little more deliberate and suspenseful than an all out action movie, at least until the end. the final chase was pretty crummily directed, and then the movie just ends arbitrarily. they way it built up LARX only to dispatch him with a flailing rachel weisz kick was pretty lame. i was expecting a desh style confrontation

otm

milo also otm about characters not being fleshed out - ross' loose & dudely affect stuck out to me too, and they never seemed to go anywhere with it? whats this guys character arc aside from wanting to stay alive and also take more pills so he doesnt turn back into a dumbass? the NEVER AGAIN scrawled on the mirror is a bourne-ian character flourish but it felt obligatory. and man did i hate that 'the adventure continues!' ending

the scene of the 'shrink' showing up at weisz's house was totally great.

that was great, it felt very michael clayton-y to me (which is good)

the lab shooting was really gutwrenching too i thought. couldnt help but think of the aurora colorado thing unfortch

i thought the most effective bourne-esque badass moment was after ross gets injected with the viral load, and three security guards come downstairs and he beats the crap out of them. he was so efficient doing it that I guess I mistakenly assumed that the injection ~increased his powers~ and that we were gonna see him beast mode his way through the rest of the movie (he seemed to be less superhuman than bourne for most of the film)

ha does ngaf about this?? come on! it's bourne! pretty much!

Do they say "Bourne" as much in the movie as they do in the trailer? Would totally be down for a Bourne rip-off starring Renner called DOUBLE CROSSED but I don't need random photos of Matt Damon popping up throughout.

I'm kinda not psyched for this after watching the trailer?

Maybe I just hate movies with scenes on the Las Vegas strip.

He should be a woman now.

Should just chronicle Bourne's life in deep cover, hiding from the CIA and running a hotel for old people in India. Bourne's Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

I'm over the relentless trailer music

looks kinda samey same

mention of snowden is not filling me with confidence

that said, i'll go, of course i'll go, duh

Almost every shot (or every shot?) feels like a retread, and I'm a Greengrass stan.

i liked the renner one. the problem with it was renner tbh

Man, I'm torn. I liked the first two (3?). Didn't see the Renner one. Like that Greengrass and Damon are back, not too into the idea of more kicking and punching, especially since in the recent interim Tom Cruise and the Mission Impossible series has been doing that kind of stuff with better set pieces and wit. But maybe this one is good? It seems to be tight under wraps, with the hints of reviews out there scrubbed and silenced.

smart to put the barechested fight clip in the trailer. nice workout, you bland blond.

Tbf, this role is as good a fit for Damon as the Terminator was for Arnie, his shortcomings helping to shore up the character.

can't say, but the only films i bought him in were Gerry and the Liberace bio.

and maybe the Farrelly twins movie

margaret

the departed too

ocean's 11? ocean's 11 is a film you watch 1/3 of at yr parents' house but he's generally great as a controlled, normcore guy slightly drowning behind the eyes

HOW YA LIKE DEM APPLES

He gives the funniest performance in True Grit
