I am always happy when there are producers around that, pushed by a primal thrill, gamble their money in Avant-garde movies.
Unfortunately this is not the case.
The Bourne Legacy is just the last chapter of a series we thought was over. The trilogy, written by Robert Ludlum, ended in 2007 with The Bourne Ultimatum and nobody imagined they would continue filming the adventures written by a guy named Eric Van Lustbader, most likely because nobody read that.
So, get ready for the fourth chapter and if you are wondering if the movie will star Matt Damon, the answer is... almost.
Same t-shirt, same body type, same boring haircut, but this time the hero is Jeremy Renner who, after being Oscar nominated for The Hurt Locker and The Town, continued riding his fame by being the only superhero without powers in The Avengers.
This poster, in case you are struggling with Matt Damon's absence, tells us "There was never just one" implying that Jason Bourne is only one of many others like him even if this can potentially kill the plot of the first three movies. But who cares? I personally could believe that Jeremy Renner is Matt Damon and it would make no difference.
The graphic uses many big, black streaks aiming to recreate the Psycho graphic artwork.
Since the final result is not very elegant, creating just a very unbalanced composition, I would rather keep awarding the superb job Saul Bass did, animating black streaks, for the opening sequence of Psycho (nostalgic people like me can click here to relive it).
One last detail I can't avoid noticing is that the new Jason Bourne (that in this movie goes by the name of Aaron Cross, whatever) is pointing his gun very low.
Thanks to this tiny detail, the movie poster is revealing us that our hero will finally battle versus... a little child or, in the worst case, a midget.
Shame on you Jeremy Renner, nobody wants to see you killing midgets at a children party!
