What’s Jason Bourne been up to since 2004, the year “The Bourne Ultimatum” was set (the movie was released in 2007)? Well, he’s been in hiding off the grid, but the world has radically changed. “There’s been the financial collapse, the great recession, all these issues of cyberwarfare and civil liberties,” star, producer and co-writer Matt Damon told EW this week about the new upcoming Untitled Jason Bourne movie. We don’t know why Jason Bourne resurfaces 12 years later for ‘Bourne 5,’ but considering everything that’s been said so far by Damon and director Paul Greengrass, it’s likely that some post-Edward Snowden cyberspying technology has ferreted out the former CIA super agent.
“[Damon] persuaded me,” Greengrass told the New York Times recently about his return to the franchise. “I was a little bit anxious about how it was going to go, and I remember he said to me, ‘It’s not a bad thing to do it just because people would really love to see us do another one.’ That really landed with me. ‘It’s a noble thing to serve your audience,’ he told me, ‘if you’re lucky enough to have one.’”
EW says that while Bourne did discover his identity at the end of ‘Bourne,’ he’s still looking for deeper clues about his past. “We find him in a dark and tortured place,” Damon said, which is maybe why the first official photo above is all dark and brooding.
Plot details on the new ‘Bourne’ movie are under wraps so far, but there are further clue revealed with the casting of Alicia Vikander; she’s playing a cyberspecialist. The new cast includes Tommy Lee Jones, who plays a hardened CIA agent, Riz Ahmed as a tech specialist, Scott Shepherd as the deputy director of the CIA, and Vincent Cassel is said to be the villain, but what shape he takes —another agent sent to take out Bourne? — is unknown. Returning from the original cast is Julia Stiles and Joan Allen. Presumably characters like Blackbriar's director Noah Vosen (David Strathairn) and CIA director Ezra Kramer (Scott Glenn) were indicted once the clandestine Blackbriar and Treadstone programs went public at the end of ‘Ultimatum,’ but it wouldn’t surprise us to at least see a cameo from both.
‘Bourne 5’ is due in theaters July 29, 2016.

Tommy Lee Jones still getting work. He gotta be 87

Man they bout to turn him into Jack Bauer

They doing some filming in Vegas. Some of the crew came to my job to cop some props and ? .
-
I thought they'd add Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner) in this film.
I really hope this film is good, the last Bourne was cool, but not worthy to carry on the legacy (no pun) IMO. -
I'm through with this overpriviliged super racist ? . Him and Affleck are like night and day.

In case people wondering where I'm coming from. Throughout the season it got even worse and I got to see Peter Farrelly for the ? boy he really is. Only Affleck was a stand up dude about everything and had her back. No wonder peoole only seem to tolerate Ben behind the scenes out of the 2. -

Looks like the same ?

Matt Damon is that dude. Next to DiCaprio one of my fav relatively young white actors.
-
LOL saw the shortened trailer... them muhfuckas tore up Vegas real time with car carcasses
Opening night bruh... -
The whole scene in Greece is brilliant and Vegas got ? up good and proper.
I'll be honest, there was no point to this film at all. It's still a great film though. -
This came out? Lol

? was fire although its only better than supremacy and legacy.
lol Heather Lee , congratulations you played yourself.
Aaron Cross might be sent to get Bourne from the hints in this movie.
7.5/10
Tommy Lee Jones and Vincent Cassell where stellar casting. -
Can a movie be fire and then get a rating of 7.5? Lol
