This second trailer for THE BOURNE LEGACY, with its reference to alteration in chromosomes, suggests the franchise is tipping more toward science fiction in its explanation for the physical superiority of its elite assassin.
Jeremy Renner stars as Aaron Cross, heir to the titular legacy of Jason Bourne. Scott Glenn, Stacy Keach, Edward Norton, Donna Murphy, and Rachel Weisz co-star for director Tony Gilroy, working from a script he co-wrote with Dan Gilroy, inspired by Robert Ludlum’s series of novels.
Universal Pictures releases THE BOURNE LEGACY on Friday, August 10, 2012.
