New ‘Jason Bourne’ Spot Digs Deeper Into His Past
This weekend marks the premiere of Pixar’sFinding Dory, a heartwarmer about a friendly fish who sets out to rediscover her forgotten past. But if you prefer your amnesiac heroes a little grittier and angrier, just wait a few more weeks for the opening ofJason Bourne, which brings backMatt Damonas the super-skilled spy. Twelve years have passed since the events ofThe Bourne Ultimatum, but that hiatus doesn’t seem to have mellowed him out one bit. If anything, the newJason Bournespot suggests, he’s only gotten more intense.
To be fair, Jason Bourne has plenty of reason to be upset. In the latest preview, Jason Bourne yells somespoiler-ystuff about the motives that got him into this whole mess to begin with, which may or may not turn out to have been built on lies.
Returning with Damon to the franchise isPaul Greengrass, who helmed the second and thirdBournemovies, andJulia Stiles, who starred opposite Damon in earlier installments. Newcomers to the series includeTommy Lee Jones,Alicia Vikander,Ato Essandoh, andVincent Cassel. Watch theJason Bournespot below.
It seems a little odd for Universal to give away a seemingly major spoiler right there in aJason Bournepromo spot, but knowing this series there are probably several more twists and turns to come. I’ll be honest with you guys: I have long since lost track of what we do and do not know about Jason Bourne’s past. But it’s not like he’s very good at remembering his own history either, so maybe that just puts us on equal footing.
