Damon. The 4th film in the

About The Bourne Legacy
The Bourne Legacy has been a hugely popular espionage franchise,
earning almost $1 billion at the global box office. Unlike the first three
movies in the series, The Bourne Legacy
is not based on Robert Ludlum’s novels, though the story explores the Bourne
universe created by Ludlum. Like in the previous Bourne films, this one also
takes the audience to the world of spies, operatives and unstoppable killing
machines in the form of CIA assassins. The events in The Bourne Legacy have been triggered by the previous films in the
franchise, but new characters are introduced in this 4th
installment.
The latest Bourne film features
Aaron Cross, played by Jeremy Renner (The
Avengers), an Operation Outcome agent who escapes from execution when CIA
decides to dispose of their other black ops programs in the wake of Jason
Bourne's dismemberment of Operation Blackbriar. The cast includes Rachel Weisz,
Oscar Isaac, Joan Allen, Albert Finney and Edward Norton as the villain. The
film is directed by Tony Gilroy. The
screenplay is by Tony Gilroy and Dan Gilroy based on the story by Tony Gilroy.
Around 40% of the scenes were
shot in the Philippines, mostly in Manila like Binondo, San Andres, Intramuros,
Navotas fish port and several locations in the city. There are also scenes that
were shot in the celebrated Puerto Princesa Underground River and El Nido. Several
subway stations and nearby areas in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea were used in
some scenes.
The Bourne Legacy delivers hyper-realistic fighting scenes like its
predecessors – no gimmicks and high tech gadgets, and less usage of CGI.
The Movie and Television Review
and Classification Board (MTRCB) has given the film a PG13 rating.
