Default The Bourne Legacy without any Bourne

http://uk.movies.yahoo.com/11102010/...-legacy-0.html

The Bourne films have been pretty decent so far and Matt Damon is a major factor in that.
My first thought reading the linked page was " Dammit, I was looking forward to that"
Odds on it is garbage.

A Bourne film without Bourne, a bit like a Bond film without Bond.

Just cashing in on the name.

As The Bourne Legacy is the last book I therefore expected the film to be the last of the Bourne films. So I pretty much assumed Damon and Greengrass would be on board, and if as the report suggests Damon would not sign up without Greengrass then which cynical **** gave this the green light?

Not a great analogy - they swapped Bonds many times and in the most part successfully.

Don't think Matt Damon was really right for it in the first place. The Bourne in the books is older, more battle weary sort of thing. I can't get the terrible untalented Mr. Ripley film out of my mind when watching him.

I remember an interview he did after 3rd film and he said it should be the last Bourne film.

A 4th just smacks of a cash in.
