The Bourne Legacy Trailer

The Bourne Legacy first new trailer has been released which looks to be an interesting teaser.  First lets clear some confusion on this movie.  It is not a continuation of the storyline from previous 'Bourne' movies, nor a reboot of the franchise.  Instead it is a different story of another programmed Treadstone assassin Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner).  So think of it as the same organization, but a different story of a different agent.

In the trailer there is one concern, that 'Cross' is a more "Stable" programme than 'Bourne.'  Maybe stable meaning under the strict direction of the organization.  Even though in the previous films, as I remember 'Jason Bourne' was the most deadliest programme produced by Treadstone.  Either way I like the assassin Arron Cross (Jeremy Renner) portrays.  Perhaps we have to wait to watch the film to see how it all makes sense.  All in all, I feel many of us will be curious on how 'The Bourne Legacy' relates to all prior films. 

Synopsis:  The narrative architect behind the "Bourne" film series, Tony Gilroy, takes the helm in the next chapter of the hugely popular espionage franchise that has earned almost $1 billion at the global box office: "The Bourne Legacy." The writer/director expands the "Bourne" universe created by Robert Ludlum with an original story that introduces us to a new hero (Jeremy Renner) whose life-or-death stakes have been triggered by the events of the first three films.

For "The Bourne Legacy," Renner joins fellow series newcomers Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Stacy Keach and Oscar Isaac, while franchise veterans Albert Finney, Joan Allen, David Strathairn and Scott Glenn reprise their roles.
