The narrative architect behind the Bourne film series, Tony Gilroy (The Devil’s Advocate, The Cutting Edge), takes the helm as Director in the next chapter of the hugely popular espionage franchise. The Bourne Legacy expands the Bourne universe created by Robert Ludlum with an original story that introduces us to a new hero (Jeremy Renner – The Avengers 1&2, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Thor) whose life-or-death stakes have been triggered by the events of the first three films.
Jeremy Renner plays new hero Aaron Cross and is joined by an all-star cast and fellow series newcomers Academy Award winner Rachel Weisz, Academy Award Nominee Edward Norton, Stacy Keach and Oscar Isaac.
On the verge of having their conspiracy exposed, members of the US government’s intelligence community will stop at nothing to erase all evidence of their top-secret programs – including the agents involved. Super-spy Aaron Cross must use his genetically engineered skills to survive the ultimate game of cat-and-mouse and finish what fellow undercover super-spy, Jason Bourne, started.
The story follows Cross’ escape journey to Chicago, where he meets and rescues beautiful genetic scientist, Dr. Marta Shearing (Weisz), who is also scheduled for assassination. They flee to Manila, where they are hunted by Eric Byer (Norton), who is out to eliminate Aaron and all traces of Operation Outcome, the government program that produced him.
The Bourne Legacy is packed full of the high quality chase and action scenes the franchise has become popular for, with Renner doing many of his own stunts. The perfect Christmas gift for thrill seekers and action fans this summer, The Bourne Legacy is releasing on Blu-ray™, DVD, Triple Play and as part of Bourne Blu-ray™ and DVD quadrilogy boxsets, from December 13, 2012.
