    The Bourne Legacy Trailer

    If this fails, Tony Gilroy can't blame Paul Greengrass, can he? The full trailer to The Bourne Legacy is here. Take a gander.

    Too soon to tell if Universal's decision to commence without Matt Damon, interestingly his mug is onscreen which means Damon gave clearance which (to break it down further) suggests he's not entirely against returning without his pal helmer Greengrass, will pay off.

    I like the timeline splicing for Legacy to take place during the events of The Bourne Ultimatum (a move Greengrass played in Ultimatum using the ending of The Bourne Supremacy). The action looks good, wisely more Doug Liman, less Greengrass. Jeremy Renner seems to be a capable lead (He's a two-time Oscar nominee after all!)

    But it still leaves a problem they can't overcome. Renner is not Matt Damon. By showing Damon's face and referring to Jason Bourne during the two minutes of action/plot exposition, you're not making it any easier for audiences to stop asking, "Where’s Matt Damon?"
