My problem with Tony Gilroy is how clinical and absolutely unsmiling his movies are. Duplicity was supposed to be fun, but everything felt so stilted, like each emotional beat was being recited from a cinema playbook.

I have a lot of respect for him as a writer, but it sounded like his version of the Bourne trilogy was a thrillless and cerebral non-adventure. Say what you want about Greengrass\’ \”shaky cam\”, but he stripped the series down to its very emotional core and let it come to life on-screen. I won\’t be surprised if Bourne Legacy is a lot more lifeless and not as engaging as the others.

I wish for the best, though.

Variety itself said so and her role as well as the others is hush hush for now.
