Boardwalking Empire of the Dead posted a statusA couple months ago, the teaser trailer for 'The Bourne Legacy' hit the web. Jeremy Renner takes over the franchise, not as Jason, but as another agent from his mysterious organization. This new trailer, which has decidedly more footage, not only suggests that Jason Bourne is still going to be a plot point in the film, but also that Renner's genetic makeup has been altered. Is he therefore going to have superhuman abilities? I hope not, that seems like a surefire way to jump the shark. In any event, the action sequences here look pretty spectacular. Take a look at the trailer below and let us know what you think.

Comment by Waylander on May 31, 2012 at 5:36pm This has edward norton so i will see it no matter what. The problem with these movies is i never really understood everything with the whole treadstone stuff, i remember understanding it once for about a split second lol. I might need to read the books or read some Wikipedia pages before going to see this movie.
Comment by CHEEZYSPAM on May 31, 2012 at 5:04pm I really liked the 1st Bourne movie, but the 2nd and 3rd was plagued too much with heavy shaky cam action sequences that I really lost a lot of interest in the series, but this trailer looks really good and really kick ass. I'm happy to see Renner carry his 1st major movie and he seems like the perfect candidate to take over the franchise!
I'm not bothered with the "super-human" aspects... to me Matt Damon's Bourne had enough of that going on already without them having to point it out. Treadstone did enough experimentation and secrecy that it wouldn't surprise me if they found a way to make their unstoppable killing machine even more unstoppable.
Also there seems a lot of people complaing that the trailer tends to hit us over the head with the fact that Renner is NOT Jason Bourne, but at the same time... the 1st complaints I ever heard when they announced a 4th movie without Damon was "how can they make a Bourne movie without Jason Bourne", well I think the trailer is trying to be very clear that while no, Damon isn't in this, it is in the same universe and wouldn't exist without him.
I'd love to see this turn into a new trilogy and bring Damon back and have him team up with Renner for one last showdown to take down the company.

Comment by Microshock on May 31, 2012 at 3:52pm How is jumping the shark to give him abilities beyond the norm? I think it's just enhanced healing and the ability to control how much you "feel".
Considering Treadstone did similar sorts of things to Jason Bourne, it's not crazy.
Comment by TheMantaBluRay on May 31, 2012 at 3:52pm Okay this looks better.
I am glad that Jason Bourne’s actions in Bourne Ultimatum created a ripple that affects all the other modified assassins. Hopefully this will be great (at this point we need more great summer movies besides the ones based on Comic Books).
Comment by Richard Dempsey on May 31, 2012 at 3:27pm While unsurprisingly awesome, they look like they're trying too hard to say that it's Jason Bourne. Replace the "Jason Bourne" with Hawkeye, and it's great!
Comment by GodDamnRobots on May 31, 2012 at 3:21pm wtf wait, his name is Cath Kidston???
Comment by Daniel Truong on May 31, 2012 at 3:11pm I never saw Ultimatum and I wasn't too impressed by Legacy or Supremacy so I'm not too excited about this one.
Comment by J Rod on May 31, 2012 at 3:07pm I don't know, man. It looks like it's going to have to work TOO HARD and TOO LONG to justify it's own existence. ie - 90 mins of exposition/"You think Jason Bourne was the be all-end all?" and 30 mins of actual action and forward plot movement.
