Last time Matt Damon, star of the original 'Bourne' trilogy, was out doing press, he said he hadn't seen "The Bourne Legacy," this past summer's extensive reboot of the franchise that placed Jeremy Renner at the center of the action. The film upped the franchise's science-factual underpinnings by having Renner's character (part of the next generation of government-sanctioned killers) controlled by a series of drugs that would boost his reflexes and intelligence. When we spoke with Damon about the sequel/prequel yesterday, during the actor's press rounds for the upcoming "Promised Land," he did confirm that he's seen the movie but said that it might make it harder for him to re-enter the franchise.
I would've liked to see him do another as well
I think Kojima did a great job breaking away from Snake in MGS2, but even then it didn't feel right. You just played the rest of the game waiting to be Snake again. Why? Because its Metal Gear Solid, its SNAKES story.
Only way to get around that is either a reboot, or following a different story all together and making it out front clear that you are doing that.
I don't think it should of been called the Bourne Legacy, the Legacy name should of been kept for a new trilogy if Damon ever came back.
He keeps saying it was hard to get the 4th film going in the first place and they couldn't come up with an idea but theres like another three books, Legacy being one of them so why don't they take the stories from the books.
Its sad that Hollywood is running out of good actors because the old ones are getting too old and the new young ones suck major a$$.
Thank god i AM A 80'S baby and I got to enjoy the best of Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Russel Crowe, Al Pachino, Nicholas Cage, John Trovolta, Brad Pitt, Arnold, Mel Gibson, Bruce Willis, Jim Carrey, John Candy, Adam Sandler, Jims Bolushi, Wesly Snips, Harisson Ford..too many to list.
they should bring the Carlos (Bourne's nemesis in the book) in the next series. He can easily be one of the best villains.
