    Maybe They'll Stop Calling Bourne Legacy a Reboot Now?

    From the moment Universal and Tony Gilroy said The Bourne Legacy was going to carry on from where The Bourne Ultimatum left off with a new protagonist (Jeremy Renner), we've heard "reboot" being branded next to it.

    Why I have no idea, beside it being the new "buzz" term to represent something brand-new, cooler or as The Simpsons said it best, "Aren't these just words that dumb people say to make themselves sounds smart?" Hopefully this will put an end to that nonsense.

    Variety reports Joan Allen and Albert Finney will return for the Bourne sequel in their respective roles of Pamela Landy, the CIA agent originating from The Bourne Supremacy first as an adversary and by the end of Ultimatum an ally, and Albert Hirsch, the doctor responsible for the Operation Treadston program throughout the Doug Liman and Paul Greengrass-directed films.

    All for continuity, but this is starting to feel a little Teen Wolf Too here.
