THE BOURNE LEGACY

THE BOURNE LEGACY

The Bourne Legacy is an upcoming 2012 American action spy film and the fourth installment in the eponymous Bourne film series, which is based on Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne novels. It is directed by Tony Gilroy, screenwriter of the first three films and is due to be released on 10 August 2012 in the US and 13 August 2012 in the UK. The film is very loosely based on The Bourne Legacy, a later Bourne novel written by Eric Van Lustbader, but like the previous two films in the franchise, it has a completely different plot from the source material. The character Jason Bourne, previously played by Matt Damon, does not appear in this film.
