The Bourne Legacyis a 2012 Americanaction-thriller filmdirected byTony Gilroy,and is the fourth installment in theseries of filmsadapted from theJason Bournenovelsoriginated byRobert Ludlumand continued byEric Van Lustbader,being preceded byThe Bourne Identity(2002),The Bourne Supremacy(2004), andThe Bourne Ultimatum(2007). The film centers on black ops agent Aaron Cross (portrayed byJeremy Renner), an original character. In addition to Renner, the film starsRachel WeiszandEdward Norton.

The Bourne Legacyis the only film in the franchise that does not feature the titular characterJason Bourne,as actorMatt Damonchose not to return due toPaul Greengrassnot directing. Bourne is shown in pictures and mentioned by name several times throughout the film. Tony Gilroy, co-screenwriter of the first three films, sought to continue the story of the film series without changing its key events, and parts ofThe Bourne Legacytake place at the same time as the previous film,The Bourne Ultimatum(2007). Aaron Cross is a member of a black ops program called Operation Outcome whose subjects are genetically enhanced. He must run for his life once former CIA Treadstone agent Jason Bourne's actions lead to the public exposure ofOperation Treadstoneand its successor Operation Blackbriar.

Filming was primarily inNew York City,with some scenes shot in thePhilippines,South Korea,andCanada.Released onAugust 10,2012, the film received mixed reviews and grossed $276 million at the box office. It was followed in 2016 byJason Bourne,with Damon reprising his role.

Plot

[edit]

Six weeks after Jason Bourne's escape from Russia after his meeting with Irena,[a]Operation Outcome agent Aaron Cross (Number Five) is assigned a training exercise in the Alaskan wilderness as punishment for goingAWOL.He must traverse the rugged terrain to find a remote cabin while being stalked by wolves. The cabin is operated by Number Three, another Outcome agent there as punishment. Cross lies and tells Number Three that he has lost his program medicationdog tagscontaining "chems" that Outcome agents must take to maintain their mental and physical enhancements.

Colonel Eric Byer is tasked with containing the fallout from Pam Landy's exposure of OperationsTreadstoneand Blackbriar.[b]He and his team find several videos of Treadstone and Outcome medical directors Albert Hirsch and Dan Hillcott, respectively, being together posted online that could lead investigators to Operation Outcome. Byer orders Outcome to be completely shut down and all of the agents and participating doctors killed to protect the secrecy of other clandestine programs.

Byer deploys an armeddroneto eliminate Cross and Number Three. Number Three is killed when a missile from the drone destroys the cabin, but Cross – who was outdoors when the drone struck – survives. He shoots down the drone with a rifle and removes asubdermal tracking implantfrom his hip. He traps an aggressive wolf and forces it to swallow his tracker. Another drone targets the tracker and kills the wolf, leading Byer's team to conclude that Cross was killed. At Sterisyn Morlanta, the pharmaceutical company supporting Outcome, researcher Dr. Donald Foite seemingly snaps and methodically shoots down Hillcott and his colleagues who have been working on Outcome. After being cornered by guards, Foite shoots himself, leaving Dr. Marta Shearing as the program's sole survivor.

Cross travels from Alaska to Chicago to recover a stashed car, money, and fake identification. Running low on chems and seeing news that his Outcome provider, Dr. Shearing, had survived the shooting, he drives to her home in Maryland. Meanwhile, Byer sends four assassins disguised as federal agents to kill Dr. Shearing and make it look like a suicide. Cross intervenes, kills the assassins, and burns down Dr. Shearing's house to cover their escape. Shearing tells Cross that the program already used a virus to lock in his physical enhancements, eliminating his need for his physical chems. They plan to fly to the Philippines to obtain a live virus to lock in his mental enhancements, since it is impossible for the pair to get more mental chems.

Cross and Shearing use false identities to fly to Manila, bluff their way into a pharmaceutical factory where Sterisyn Morlanta has a research lab, and infect Cross with the live virus. Meanwhile, Byer's team find CCTV footage of Shearing atJFK airportand determine her itinerary. Byer alerts the factory's security team, but Cross subdues the security guards, and causes a panic on the factory floor; Cross and Shearing escape in the commotion. Cross becomes incapacitated from the virus, so Shearing hides him in an apartment to recover. Byer dispatches LARX #3, a chemically brainwashed super soldier, to kill Cross and Shearing. The next morning, Cross recovers from being injected with the virus. Local police discover Cross and Shearing's hideout, and they escape on foot. The police and LARX #3 chase them by motorcycle through the streets of Manila. They lose the police and Shearing kills LARX #3, but Cross is shot and loses consciousness. Shearing bribes a nearby boatman to help them escape Manila. Byer and his team, who lost their trail, raid the empty apartment for clues; they find the message "No More" written on the mirror, with Cross' medication dog tags hanging beside it.

Back in New York, Blackbriar supervisor Noah Vosen lies to the Senate, stating that Blackbriar was created solely to track down Bourne and thatDeputy DirectorPamela Landy committed treason by aiding Bourne and releasing top secret Treadstone files to the press. Meanwhile, Cross recovers from his bullet wounds on the boat out of Manila, where he and Shearing use a chart to determine where they should go next.

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]

Universal Pictures originally intendedThe Bourne Ultimatumto be the final film in the series, but development of another film was under way by October 2008.[3]George Nolfi,who co-wroteThe Bourne Ultimatum,was to write the script of a fourth film, not to be based on any of the novels by Robert Ludlum.[3]Joshua Zetumer had been hired to write a parallel script—a draft which could be combined with another (Nolfi's, in this instance)—by August 2009 since Nolfi would be directingThe Adjustment Bureauthat September.[4]Matt Damonstated in November 2009 that no script had been approved and that he hoped that a film would begin shooting in mid-2011.[5]The next month, he said that he would not do another Bourne film without Paul Greengrass, who announced in late November that he had decided not to return as director.[6]In January 2010, Damon said that there would "probably be a prequel of some kind with another actor and another director before we do another one just because I think we're probably another five years away from doing it."[7]

However, it was reported in June 2010 thatTony Gilroy,who co-wrote each of the three previousBournefilms, would be writing a script with his brother, screenwriterDan Gilroy,for a fourthBournefilm to be released sometime in 2012.[8]That October, Universal set the release date forThe Bourne Legacyfor August 10, 2012,[9]Tony Gilroy was confirmed as the director of the film, and it was also announced that Jason Bourne will not be appearing inThe Bourne Legacy.[10]

Gilroy said he did not get involved with the project "until the rules were that Matt [Damon] was gone, Matt and Paul [Greengrass] were gone, there was no Jason Bourne. That was the given when I had the first conversation about this. So it was very important to me, extremely important to me, that everything that had happened before be well preserved and be enhanced if possible by what we're doing now."[11]He also said, "you could never replace Matt [Damon] as Jason Bourne. This isn'tJames Bond.You can't do aprequel.You can't do any of those kinds of things, because there was never any cynicism attached to the franchise, and that was the one thing they had to hang on to. "[12]

Gilroy "never had any intention of ever coming back to this realm at all—much less write it, much less direct it. Then I started a really casual conversation about what we could do in a post-Jason Bourne setting. I was only supposed to come in for two weeks, but the character we came up with, Aaron Cross, was so compelling."[13]After watchingThe Bourne Ultimatumagain, Gilroy called his brother, screenwriter Dan Gilroy, and said,"'The only thing you could do is sort of pull back the curtain and say there's a much bigger conspiracy.' So we had to deal with what happened inUltimatumas the starting point of this film.Ultimatumplays in the shadows ofLegacyfor the first 15 minutes—they overlap. "[13]

In speaking about the film's storyline, Gilroy drew a distinction between the fictional programs in theBournefilm series:

On a practical level, the Treadstone program was about assassination. They're basically assassins. They live in the world—you can see Clive Owen [inThe Bourne Identity] as a piano teacher, they have covers—but they're essentially assassins. There was nothing that would be described as espionage, [they're] basically a kill squad. The Outcome program that Aaron [played by Jeremy Renner] is part of, [Oscar Isaac's character] is one of them too... The conceit is that [Edward Norton's character] is the mastermind of this entire franchise. We're stepping back a little bit in time here, he's been a developer, he's been at the nexus of the corporate military and intelligence communities. There's a very large corporate element, pharmaceutical corporate element...[14]

Filming

[edit]

Although a large part of the film was set in and around Washington, DC, the real DC appears only in aerialestablishing shots.Most of the film was shot over 12 weeks at theKaufman Astoria StudiosinQueens,New York, including all interior DC scenes.[15]The old house inHudson, New York,used as Shearing's house was unable to accommodate the weight of equipment and crew, so it was used only for exterior shots, and all interior scenes were filmed on a Kaufman Astoria soundstage.[15]The scenes set in the "SteriPacific" factory in Manila were actually filmed in theNew York Timesprinting plant in Queens.[16]

El Nido, Palawanin the Philippines served as a filming location, and in the film, was used as escape route from Manila.

Several scenes were shot overseas, mostly in Manila[17]and in the Paradise bay ofEl Nido, Palawan,in the Philippines.[18]Several train scenes atGarak Market stationonSeoul Subway Line 3and nearby areas in Seocho-daero 77-Gil (1308 Seocho 4-dong),Seocho-gu,andGangnam-gu,Seoul,South Korea, were used in some scenes.[19]TheKananaskis Countryregion ofAlberta,Canada, was used for the scenes set inAlaska.[15]

Gilroy said, "there are three deleted scenes—we just mixed them and color corrected them [...] but what I like about it is all three scenes happen in the movie. One of them's referred to and they're completely legitimate parts of our story, they absolutely happen in our film, we just didn't have time to show them to you so there's nothing off to the side. I think they'll be on the straight-up DVD."[11]

The soundtrack toThe Bourne Legacyas composed byJames Newton Howard,unlike the previous films, which were composed byJohn Powell,was released digitally onAugust 7, 2012,byBack Lot Musicand physically onAugust 21, 2012byVarèse Sarabande Records.[20][21]A new version ofMoby's "Extreme Ways",entitled" Extreme Ways (Bourne's Legacy) ", was recorded for the film's end credits.[22]

Reception

[edit]

Box office

[edit]

In its opening weekend,The Bourne Legacygrossed about $38.7 million in the United States and Canada and debuted at #1 of the box office charts, surpassing Universal's expectation of $35 million. It grossed $46.6 million worldwide in its first weekend.[2]The film sold roughly 400,000 more tickets on its opening weekend than the first film in the series,The Bourne Identity.Studio research reported that audiences were evenly mixed among the sexes.[25]The film grossed $113.2 million in North America and $162.9 million in foreign countries, bringing the film's worldwide total to $276.1 million.[2]

Critical response

[edit]

OnRotten Tomatoes,the film holds an approval rating of 56% based on 235 reviews, with an average rating of 5.90/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "It isn't quite as compelling as the earlier trilogy, butThe Bourne Legacyproves the franchise has stories left to tell—and benefits from Jeremy Renner's magnetic work in the starring role. "[26]OnMetacritic,the film has a score of 61 out of 100 based on 42 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[27]Audiences polled byCinemaScoregave the film an average grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale.[28]

Lisa SchwarzbaumofEntertainment Weeklygave the film an A−, commenting that "Gilroy, who as a screenwriter has shaped the movie saga from the beginning, trades the wired rhythms established in the past two episodes by Paul Greengrass for something more realistic and closer to the ground. The change is refreshing. Jason Bourne's legacy is in good hands."[29]Roger Ebertof theChicago Sun-Timesgave the film 2½ stars out of 4, writing: "The Bourne Legacyis always gripping in the moment. The problem is in getting the moments to add up. I freely confess that for at least the first 30 minutes I had no clear idea of why anything was happening. The dialogue is concise, the cinematography is arresting and the plot is a murky muddle. "[30]

Peter Debruge ofVarietywrote that "the combination of Robert Elswit's elegant widescreen lensing and the measured editing by Tony Gilroy's brother John may be easier to absorb than Greengrass' hyperkinetic docu-based style, but the pic's convoluted script ensures that auds will emerge no less overwhelmed."[31]Michael Atkinson ofThe Village Voicealso wrote a scathing review of the film, saying: "TheBournefilms have more than just overstayed their welcome and outlasted the Ludlum books—they've beenVan Halenized,with an abrupt change of frontman and a resulting dip in personality. "[32]

Kenneth Turanof theLos Angeles Timesgave the film a positive review, called the film "an exemplary espionage thriller that has a strong sense of what it wants to accomplish and how best to get there." He especially commended Gilroy's work on the film: "Gilroy knows the underpinnings of this world inside out and appreciates how essential it is to maintain and extend the house style of cool and credible intelligence that marked the previous films."[33]Todd McCarthyofThe Hollywood Reportercommented on his review that "the series' legacy is lessened by this capable but uninspired fourth episode."[34]

Sequel

[edit]

From 2012 onward, various additional Bourne film plans have been made and changed, with some intended to beLegacysequels starring Renner, and others sequels to the original trilogy and starring Damon. The latter eventually saw release asJason Bournein 2016. As of 2017, a second Renner film was considered unlikely, though such a work had been in pre-production stages since 2013. The shifting course of these projects has been somewhat complex.

In September 2012,Universal Pictureshad stated at a media conference in Los Angeles that they were likely to release more Bourne films, despiteLegacybeing given mixed reviews by critics.[35]In a December 2012 interview,Matt Damonrevealed that he andPaul Greengrasswere interested in returning for the next film as Jason Bourne and the director, respectively.[36]

Damon is reported saying that although he had not seenLegacy,he intends to do so because not only is he curious to see it, but also because he has enjoyed Jeremy Renner in everything he has seen him in. However, in June 2014, executive producer Frank Marshall said that Matt Damon would not be returning to the big screen for the next Bourne film, contrary to earlier statements made by Damon and rumors surrounding his return to the franchise.[37]On February 21, 2013, it was confirmed that aBourne 5was being planned.[38][39]

On August 2, 2013, Universal hiredTony GilroyandAnthony Peckhamto write the film's script with Renner returning as Cross.[40]On November 8, 2013, theFast & Furiousfilm seriesdirectorJustin Linwas announced to direct the film.[41]

On December 2, 2013, it was announced that Renner would return as Cross, Lin would both direct and produce from his production companyPerfect Storm Entertainment,and the studio announced an August 14, 2015 release date.[42]On May 9, 2014, Andrew Baldwin was brought in to re-write the film.[43]

On June 18, 2014, the studio pushed back the film from August 14, 2015, to July 15, 2016.[44]In November 2014, theBourne Legacysequel was put on hold in favor ofJason Bourne,for which Damon confirmed that he and Greengrass would return.[45]

On January 6, 2015, the studio pushed back the release date to July 29, 2016.[46]The first trailer for the film was aired on February 7, 2016, duringSuper Bowl 50,which also revealed its title asJason Bourne.[47]The film premiered July 11, 2016, in the UK and July 29, 2016, in the United States, to mixed reviews.

ProducerFrank MarshallsaidUniversal Picturesis hoping to make a sixth film in the franchise, a direct sequel toJason Bourne.He stated that a sequel toThe Bourne Legacyfeaturing Renner's Cross is unlikely, although he did not explicitly rule it out.[48]However, in March 2017, Matt Damon cast doubt upon any sequel, hinting that people "might be done" with the character.[49]
