The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
So maybe you remember this guy, Jason Bourne? He was a walking murder machine who got fucked with by the CIA and then he handed them their collective asses and dismantled a multi-million-dollar assassination program before disappearing into the night.
But apparently there's this other guy, played by Jeremy Renner, who is also a product of Treadstone? Or maybe it's Blackbriar. Or maybe there's a new one which is apparently called Outcome. And he's... also been fucked with by the CIA? Or there's some fallout from the Bourne situation and he's... involved... somehow.
It's not really clear, because the filmmakers won't say much, because they're all just as aware as we are that this is pretty shaky ground to build a fourth film on without Matt Damon or Julia Stiles, though I guess Albert Finney and a couple of the other government assholes are back. But I guess Ed Norton is our main bad dude for this one so that's always cool. And I do like Jeremy Renner a lot, so.
I really don't think the Bourne series is so rich that a 4th is bad news or something
it looks like a pretty goddamn good movie from the trailer
I guess it'll depend on the level of connectedness to the events of the other movies, or if it turns out more like "random spy action movie that we made a Bourne movie for no real reason"
Maybe this one will actually have Carlos the Jackal in it. Or have something to do with the cool books.
Carlos the Jackal worked in the books but is entirely irrelevant to modern audiences because he's been in prison for nearly 20 years and nobody knows who the hell he is

It looks fun though
Do people really care enough about the Bourne series to get offended if they put out a "sequel" that's only very loosely connected to the others?
Considering that the movies are already spinoffs that completely ignored the plot of the books, the idea of them spinning off the movies doesn't offend me at all. As long as they keep the gritty fast-paced fight scenes, I'm happy
I think the other movies were pretty clear on "there are other guys that were in this program" so I think following one of those other dudes isn't really that bad of an idea if you can get guys like Jeremy Renner and Ed Norton involved. And to be honest, the plot's not really why I watched the first three Bourne movies anyways.
seriously did anyone watch the bourne movies for the plot
I can honestly say I remember about like, three story points from all the movies
most of it's like "matt damon beats the shit out of a dude, runs away, car chase, government dudes mutter, fight scene, chase scene, fight scene, matt damon taunts someone in government, moby"
the fight where he grabs the book and punches it into the dude's face was pretty fucking excellent
hell the whole sequence where they're both trying to find julia stiles and then she jumps from rooftop to rooftop and shit is one of my favorite sequences in any movie

Matt Damon on the Bourne Cash-In Bourne Ultimatum! script;
I don’t blame Tony for taking a boatload of money and handing in what he handed in. It’s just that it was unreadable. This is a career-ender. I mean, I could put this thing up on eBay and it would be game over for that dude. It’s terrible. It’s really embarrassing. He was having a go, basically, and he took his money and left.
But hey! Ed Norton.
EDIT: I was being silly and misreading shit as per usual.

Though I haven't seen the other Bourne movies, so I might not be the best judge.

i have no problems with a bourne movie starring renner

i will watch it
surely this fourth movie may have something!
pretty okay to me
he just has an innocence about him that totally sold me on the concept of him suddenly busting out crazy kung fu and being just as surprised as anyone
guess we'll see!
It was a great pen fight

right next to mel brook's great skill in handshakes in drive
What this and the last film will really be missing Brian Cox. He cannot be replaced.
that shit happened
he beat a man with a book
That's the important thing
e: Tehe guy who was screenwriter on the last three
Ehhhh
Wish Greengrass had come back for this
hell the whole sequence where they're both trying to find julia stiles and then she jumps from rooftop to rooftop and shit is one of my favorite sequences in any movie
Tony Gilroy, the guy who wrote the screenplays for the other Bourne films
He also wrote and directed Michael Clayton

Eh
Really wish Greengrass was directing
But I'm pretty sure him and Damon won't do it if the other one doesn't sign on so

I just want an action film where there is an awesome 3 minute fight scene where only plungers are used
If anybody can make a good fight scene where plungers are the only weapon used, I can say I've seen pretty much everything in movies
