  Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye of Marvel’s The Avengers) takes over the Jason Bourne action franchise (from Matt Damon) with The Bourne Legacy. Writer/Director Tony Gilroy hints how Damon and Renner’s characters could be together in a new film. Gilroy’s game plan for continuing the series revealed in the latest Empire magazine is pure Shakespearean.

  “If you think of the first three Bourne films as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, then we’re showing you Elsinore. You thought you were seeing something you weren’t. What if there’s a much larger story? What if Treadstone wasn’t the only black-ops programme?

  “I had never spent one moment thinking about how to do a sequel to Bourne Ultimatum. I first came in for two weeks just to spitball. I had a very random idea…so we started with that and it got more and more exciting. All of a sudden I was staring at something that had a great deal of resonance and was soulful and uncynical and was also gonna kick ass. So that was good.”

  Producer Frank Marshall says, “You see there are several different programmes in the movie with different skill sets. All possibilities are open. My dream is that in the next one we see Matt and Jeremy team up.”

No Mission Impossible Takeover?

  I loved Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. I was on the fence about seeing it until The Dark Knight Rises prologue was attached to the beginning of the IMAX version.

  I’m thrilled to say I’m glad I accepted the mission. The latest IMF adventure was the best in the series in part because the great chemistry of a dynamic team: Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Paula Patton and Simon Pegg.

  Renner is dismissing rumors that he is taking over the franchise as the lead character. The star told Reuters that he heard the rumors and “there’s no taking over,” according to MSN Movies.

  Renner will play Hawkeye in The Avengers and take over the lead in the Jason Bourne series. Renner will not be playing the same character Matt Damon portrayed in the first three films. The Bourne Legacy is a continuation of the series starring Renner.

  One more thing about Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. It will so cool seeing Josh Holloway again. Holloway owns the screen in his brief appearance as an IMF agent.

 Hollywood, please get this great, charismatic actor from Lost in new movies or a series again pronto!
