The Bourne franchise proves that no matter how many movies or entries there are, you will only know less than half of the real story. A new trailer has emerged for The Bourne Legacy, and it gives a clearer picture of the characters surrounding the very people involved in the project that made Bourne the dangerous amnesia spy that he is (or was) today. You can check out the trailer below.

Jeremy Renner takes the main character mantle as he begins to be caught up in the conspiracy involving the people behind the Tredstone project. Renner joins fellow series newcomers Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Stacy Keach, and Oscar Isaac, while franchise veterans Albert Finney, Joan Allen, David Strathairn, and Scott Glenn reprise their roles.

Tony Gilroy also takes over the role as director. He also co-wrote the film with Dan Gilroy.

I like this new direction that the Bourne series is headed into. Rather than flesh out the Bourne character over and over again, they branched out and started adding new conspiracies and new characters into the franchise and still managed to keep the spirit of Jason Bourne alive. Did you that quick glimpse of Matt Damon in the trailer?

The Bourne Legacy opens in theaters on August 3rd.

Here’s the official synopsis
