'The Bourne Legacy' Releases New Featurette With Fresh Footage

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

In The Bourne Legacy featurette, the cast and crew give their take on the expanded conspiracy.

 

The Bourne Legacy may still face a lot of apprehension about its new direction with Aaron Cross, played by Jeremy Renner. The newly released featurette seems to have this in mind and offers a more in depth explanation of how the fourth installment, absent of Jason Bourne, ties into the rest of the trilogy.

In The Bourne Legacy featurette, the cast and crew give their take on the expanded conspiracy and explain why they think fans won’t be disappointed with a new face as the super agent.

Besides the cast interviews, there is a bunch of behind the scenes clips that show how some of  the action was brought to life. We even get a chance to see some new footage not included in the previous trailers and clips.


Although The Bourne Legacy now follows Aaron Cross there are still some familiar elements that make it very recognizable to fans of the franchise.  For one, it’s directed by Tony Gilroy, the writer of the first three movies. Some members of the cast such as Joan Allen, David Straithairn, Scott Glenn and Albert Finney have returned to reprise their roles from the previous Bourne movies.

Also, the featurette reveals there are several references to Jason Bourne in the film, which makes sense because the story supposedly takes place at the same time as The Bourne: Ultimatum.

In addition to the aforementioned actors, The Bourne Legacy is stacked with a supporting cast that includes Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Stacey Keach,  Donna Murpy, Oscar Isaac and Elizabeth Marvel

You may not want to miss this one when it comes out on August 10th, but until then, take a look at the new featurette above.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
