Bourne Legacy Trailer Blasts Online

Welcome to the program!If it looks like a Bourne movie, moves like a Bourne movie and has Joan Allen in it, it's a Bourne movie, right? That's the theory, and with Jeremy Renner promising a similarly hyperkinetic action experience to the Greengrass/Liman films, hopes are high for The Bourne Legacy to maintain the franchise's vaunted standards.As no-one at Treadstone likes saying, all will be revealed. If the jury's still out at this point, today's first-look trailer promises all the slugs of post-9/11 moral ambiguity and pulse-busting action we've come to expect.The trailer over at Apple picks up with a bruised and battered Aaron Cross (Renner) emerging from his black-ops training to be shepherded into the shadier ranks of the CIA. What do we learn? Well, firstly that he's "outcome agent", and secondly that he's viewed as less of a loose cannon than his illustrious colleague - "Jason Bourne without the inconsistency" as one apparatchik puts it.Presumably the first one means he does the CIA's dirty work and the second that he'll kill a man with a pencil and return the pencil to Treadstone's stationary cupboard afterwards. Beyond that, there's scant details on how close to the formula this one sticks - and we're kinda happy about that. Just to round off a big Bourne day, there's a new one-sheet for the film too. We're not sure what all the shutter-like design work is about but it does give us the chance to make this shocking play on the word "blinding".{Bourne Legacy One-Sheet}The Bourne Legacy will be slamming onto our screens on August 17.
