    Harsh. I like the new Bourne books, he's more like film Bourne in them.

    Oh, even more reason not to read. I want to read the Ludlum Bourne, not piggyback film novels. Is he middle aged in them at least?

    Yeah he is.

    Well if any middle aged person can do the feats he does in the Lustbader books he'd be bloody special.
    First Lustbader lost the baggage that Ludlum had created and then I believe he made him somewhat younger as to be a believable actionhero. In essence the Simon Templar, James Bond manouvre.

    @SaintMark I think he still is middle aged since
    He still has a kid from his first marrige who's an adult.

    But
    isn't that the kid that survived the crash that killed his wife in Vietnam?

    The thing that pi#@es me off about Lustbader is that he feels the need to
    kill off every great character (LITERALLY!)
    , which is why if I ever see him in public I'd punch him square in the face. He is revolting. Granted, Ludlum's only satisfactory novel is Identity, but that doesn't give him the right to cock up Rob's work.

    Really? That is pathetic. Might as well make Bourne run around in a pink Bunny suit and do ballerina dances with a red rose between his teeth for all the good that does.

    Yes. But
    In Legacy, Joshua/Khan (his son), was an adult. So if Bourne was old enough to have an adult son, he must be middle aged still.

    Wow, I hadn't watched those three TV spots until now - they got me even more excited than I already was. The only shot I'm not crazy about is him grinding down the stairs railing on the dirt bike. Too cheesy for me, but I can look past it and enjoy what is to come.

    So Ross will fit back into this. Hmm...very interesting. So I guess this will match the timeline of Ultimatum?

    Here's an excerpt from Damon the other day on 'Bourne 5':

    “Tony [Gilroy] is really smart, he’s a really good writer and a really good director and I’m sure he made a good movie. The question will be if they can franchise that movie, because if they can, then they’ll be done with me. They’ll just keep making those.”

    Matt, I want you back. If we have to get more of these damn things he could at least get involved. A Bourne/Cross team up would be pretty cool, or even a face off.

    It doesn't make sense.

    Yes, Matt, they don't want you back, the beloved person who made the franchise so entertaining and addictive in the first place.

    I think a team-up would be great. If they're both on the 'same sides of the law,' per se, then them teaming up for something really big would be very entertaining to watch. They could go out shopping for books, just to use to smash faces in again.

    That would be funny. For promotional videos they could have them shopping in Wal-Mart. Bourne comes up to Cross who has all these rigid books piled up, and says "good to see you have the books". And Cross says "and I see you have the ball point pens!" :D

    "In my defense he was going to kill Nicky. Oh, and don't forget to get some newspapers. If we have to blow up any homes there will be a toaster and a gas line there at the location, so all we will need is the papers. Scratch that off the list and we can go to checkout."
    "Wait, sorry...did you say something about blowing up homes?"
    "Uh...well-ah...."
    "We are not doing that!"
    "It was a controlled explosion, okay?!"

    Haha, if only. I'd pay good money just to see those scenes.

    I can see Bourne sadistically punching Cross when he sees him getting intimate with Rachel Weisz's character.

    "You get her, but
    my MARIE IS DEAD
    !!!"

    *Fetal position*

    Bourne and Cross, in terms of Rachel Weisz's character: Sharing is caring!

    Here's a new clip from the film, involving a motorcycle chase:

    Nice spot, @M_Balje. Running time works perfectly for me.
  • Posts: 12,506
    That's the sort of run time that we need for Bond too atleast?

    To be fair though, there haven't been that many reviews. And besides, if my time as a film fan has taught me anything it's don't base if I like/dislike a film on reviews. I'll wait and see it and judge it myself.

    Of course. I do the same thing myself.
