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.

    At least Renner looks like he has the fight scenes well in hand

    He was pretty rad in Ghost Protocol, I'll give this a look.

    Oh yeah! I still need to see that

    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"

    It looks fun though

    Renner's got pretty good taste as far as roles are concerned.

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

    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

    The movie might be good, but that trailer was annoying

    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?

    so long as this movie has some brutal, environment-based fight scenes and one awesome car chase

    i will watch it

  • Calamity JaneCalamity Jane That Wrong Love Registered User regular
    will the franchise be able to one-up the fight scene with the pen?

    surely this fourth movie may have something!

    also a movie in the bourne universe without a protagonist who lost his memory sounds

    pretty okay to me

  • PeccaviPeccavi Registered User regular
    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

  • DJ EebsDJ Eebs Moderator, Administrator admin
    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, a multi-million dollar film franchise is trying to live up to the legacy of a pen fight

    not sure how this will go without matt damon

    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!

  • DJ EebsDJ Eebs Moderator, Administrator admin
    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"

  • Calamity JaneCalamity Jane That Wrong Love Registered User regular
    yeah to be fair it was probably the most inventive use of a pen in fighting i've ever seen

    right next to mel brook's great skill in handshakes in drive

    Renner is great and who gives a shit about Julia Styles?

    What this and the last film will really be missing Brian Cox. He cannot be replaced.

    That's the important thing

    e: Tehe guy who was screenwriter on the last three

    Ehhhh

    Wish Greengrass had come back for this

    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

    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

    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.
