10 Films Coming In 2016 That Really Shouldn't Exist
7. Bourne 5
Yes, Damons back. Having evidently determined a strong dislike for somebody other than himself portraying Ludlums lead man even if that someone is Jeremy Renner mixed-martial arts Matt and his serial amnesiac Jason Bourne are back for another anti-establishment, government research-revealing romp, alongside Julia Stiles and, wait for it, Tommy Lee Jones. OK, so no single Bourne film ever precisely followed the plot of the original books, each borrowing a little (or a lot) from spy-fi to get the job done. But the original trilogy is widely and consistently celebrated as a cinematic success and, rightly, one that should be left well alone. The Bourne Legacy left a slightly sour taste largely because it simply wasnt one of the first three films. It wasnt bad, it just wasnt, well, Bourne. Thats not to say Damon and director Paul Greengrass cant make more movie magic (see Green Zone), but a return to Bourne nine years after Ultimatum smarts of brand-reliance of the worst sort. In 2007, right after his last Bourne outing, Damon opined, We have ridden that horse as far as we can." Evidently hes found a new donkey.
Happy-snapping worldly wordsmith. In between snapping street shots, tapping out stellar prose and having more hair-brained ideas than a barber with a bachelor's in business, you'll find him fumbling with the latest fitness fads and dreaming of a debut in F1 (he's a late bloomer, OK?).
