A Japanese trailer for The Bourne Legacy has gone online. Itâs not incredibly different from the US trailer we saw previously, but there are a couple bits of new footage and some more looks at Edward Norton that make it worth a gander. Writer/director Tony Gilroy recently talked about how the film sets itself apart from the previous three films while maintaining a strong throughline, adding that âwhat happens in Ultimatum is really the spark thatâs blowing open the door to this movie because the Jason Bourne story is exploding out into the public.â Iâm excited to see how Gilroy executes this âseparate but connectedâ film and how Jeremy Rennerâs character differs from Jason Bourne. I really liked the US trailer and I think the cast is swell, so hopefully Legacy delivers.Hit the jump to watch the trailer. The film also stars Rachel Weisz, Stacy Keach, Oscar Isaac, Albert Finney, Joan Allen, David Strathairn, and Scott Glenn. The Bourne Legacy opens on August 3rd.Trailer via /Film.Hereâs the official synopsis for The Bourne Legacy:
