Although Jeremy Renner's The Bourne Legacy did well enough at the box office for the studio to think of a sequel, it seems that Matt Damon will be the one reprising his role and not Renner.
Back in November of last year, Paramount hired
director Justin Lin to helm the sequel written by Sherlock Holmes writer
Anthony Peckham, and just yesterday, the studio surprisingly announced that the
project, which was slated for August 14th, 2015, would now open on July 15th,
2016.
According to El Mayimbe, the change in release dates
is due to the fact that Matt Damon will be reprising his role as Jason Bourne
in the fifth entry in the Bourne franchise.
Well
clearly, times have changed. According to a deeply embedded trusted source, the
reason Bourne 5 got pushed to July 15, 2016 is because Matt Damon is in fact
back to play his signature role as Jason Bourne for director Justin Lin!
It's great news if they are true, and I'm inclining to
believe in Mr. Mayimbe. Not that I dislike what Renner did as Aaron Cross in
The Bourne Legacy, but Matt Damon as Bourne, is a completely different game.
I know Damon has gone on record saying that he
wouldn't do another Bourne movie, but just last month on CNBC, the actor
rephrase his statement and said that he would do another if there was a story
to be told.
I've always been open to
it if Paul Greengrass is the director. We've just never been able to come up
with a story. So if any of your viewers have a story, please call Universal and
submit it. It felt like such a good way to end it the last time... But having
said that, I love that character and I'd love to see what happened to him.
