The Bourne Legacy director Tony Gilroy , star Jeremy Renner (taking over for departing series star Matt Damon’s Jason Bourne playing Aaron Cross.) and producer Frank Marshall talked up the film with Empire Online and briefly spoke about where the films might go next.
Gilroy says "If you think of the first three Bourne films as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, then we're showing you Elsinore. You thought you were seeing something you weren't. What if there's a much larger story? What if Treadstone wasn't the only black-ops program?"
Renner says his character is "coming from a completely different background to Jason [Bourne]. He knows exactly who he is; he signed up to this...He wants to be part of a team. I can tell you he was in the military then he joined the [program]. He's a person who wants to be part of something... to have a sense of purpose. But then it's taken away."
Marshall had the most tantalizing quote: "You see there are several different [programs] in the movie with different skill sets. All possibilities are open. My dream is that in the next one we see Matt and Jeremy team up."
Rachel Weisz also stars as the female lead while Edward Norton is set to play the villain Oscar Isaac plays a brainwashed assassin named 'Number 3' While Joan Allen and Albert Finney have signed on to reprise their roles from the original Bourne films. And Stacy Keach has joined the cast of the film as a new as yet unknown character.
Marshall, Jeffrey M. Weiner and Ben Smith produce the new Bourne.
The reboot hits theaters on August 10th.
