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 Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner), a new hero 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.
