It's been close to fifteen years since Matt Damon first brought Jason Bourne to life in THE BOURNE IDENTITY and the memory challenged assassin is still searching for answers. After the Damon-less BOURNE LEGACY proved to be the weak link in the franchise, the upcoming JASON BOURNE looks like it will be returning to the heights of the original trilogy. Universal has released a brand new TV spot for the film, but be warned, it's cut in such a way that it may have revealed a fairly major spoiler for the film.
A synopsis for JASON BOURNE:
Matt Damon returns to his most iconic role in Jason Bourne. Paul Greengrass, the director of The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum, once again joins Damon for the next chapter of Universal Pictures’ Bourne franchise, which finds the CIA’s most lethal former operative drawn out of the shadows.
For Jason Bourne, Damon is joined by Alicia Vikander, Vincent Cassel and Tommy Lee Jones, while Julia Stiles reprises her role in the series. Frank Marshall again produces alongside Jeffrey Weiner for Captivate Entertainment, and Greengrass, Damon, Gregory Goodman and Ben Smith also produce. Based on characters created by Robert Ludlum, the film is written by Greengrass and Christopher Rouse.
JASON BOURNE is set for a July 29, 2016 release.
