Anthony Peckham ("Sherlock Holmes," "Invictus") has been hired to write the script for a film that continue the story of the Aaron Cross character introduced in 2012's "The Bourne Legacy" and played by Jeremy Renner,
Attempts have been made to get original star Matt Damon back to no avail.
'Legacy featured Cross as a member of the black ops program Operation Outcome whose agents are genetically enhanced. Bourne's actions as chronicled in 2007's The Bourne Ultimatum force the public exposure of Outcome's earlier incarnations - Treadstone and Blackbriar - Cross goes on the run as the agency races to shut Outcome down and kill its agents.
The pic grossed $276 million worldwide.
Ben Smith and Jeffrey M. Weiner. will produce the next film.
I watched "Legacy" recently and thought Renner did a better job than Damon which echoes the way I felt about Andrew Garfield taking over as Spider-Man after Tobey Maguire had the role in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man Trilogy. As far as I am concerned Damon not doing Bourne is good news
