When Bourne's Away

Tony Gilroy is talking Jason Bourne to Hollywood Elsewhere.

The film's title will indeed be " The Bourne Legacy", but "will not use the story" from the book ghost written under creator Robert Ludlum, name by Eric Van Lustbader

Gilroy adds "it's a completely original screenplay".

More interestingly while Matt Damon, is out, Gilroy states this is NOT a "reboot or a recast or a prequel". He adds "There will be a whole new hero, a whole new chapter...this is a stand-alone project."

In the books and films, 'Jason Bourne' is an alias that David Webb (Damon) had adopted. It was thought that with Webb now off the grid and suspected to be dead by authorities, the Bourne name could be transferred to a new character.

Not the case says Gilroy "The easiest way to think of it is an expansion or a reveal. Jason Bourne will not be in this film, but he's very much alive…We're going to show you the bigger picture, the bigger canvas. When you see what we're going and see what we're doing it'll be pretty obvious....but Jason Bourne's actvities in the first three films is the immediate trigger."

Fans of the series will like the pic since "everyone who got into [the previous films] will be rewarded for paying attention".

Gilroy says  that Damon could even come back to the series.. "I'm building a legend and an environment and a wider conspiracy...the world we're making enhances and advances and invites Jason Bourne's return."
