Bourne gets a trailer

The explosive first trailer for the upcoming Bourne Legacy has just hit the web at MSN. Boy it's a good one. After watching it it does seem to be a great "sidequel" to the original trilogy. There are some characters that you will recognise and some you wont. So sit back, click play and enjoy.

The narrative architect behind the Bourne film series, Tony Gilroy, takes the helm in the next chapter of the hugely popular espionage franchise that has earned almost $1 billion at the global box office: The Bourne Legacy. The writer/director expands the Bourne universe created by Robert Ludlum with an original story that introduces us to a new hero (Jeremy Renner) whose life-or-death stakes have been triggered by the events of the first three films.

For The Bourne Legacy, Renner joins fellow series newcomers Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Stacy Keach and Oscar Isaac, while franchise veterans Albert Finney, Joan Allen, David Strathairn and Scott Glenn reprise their roles.
