I think they\’re going to go with an unknown. That\’s the only thing that makes sense.

What do we make of this: http://www.nextmovie.com/blog/bourne-legacy-casting/

So I guess the studio is only looking at male actors for the lead in this spin-off? That\’s a shame because a female lead would make it stand out more as its own piece of work rather than a cheap knock-off Bourne story without Bourne.

Zoe Saldana could do this well, and Emily Blunt and Lena Headey probably could too.

I\’m a big fan of the Bourne films. Great action with just the right amount of emotion packed to make for a great journey. It\’s also the film that opened my eyes to the potential of Matt Damon as a physical actor who can balance action, comedy and emotion as well as anyone of his generation.

That being said, this new reboot is just proof of the unoriginality of Hollywood and I\’m a bit surprised that the Playlist appears to be eagerly awaiting news on a project that screams \”been there done that\”. The only silver lining is that Gilroy is involved, thought it would be the first Bourne movie he\’s directing..

Definitely skeptical of this whole project and there\’s way more upcoming films that I\’m more excited about.

That\’s good to hear. After seeing recent interviews with him at wonder con I kept thinking he would be great in the new Bourne. As must as I dont like the idea of this movie I think him or Joel would be the best choices. I know Damon was already a name actor but when he was cast it was an out of left field choice, but a bold choice, and I think both Joel and Luke would fill that in the new movie.
