That means you’re running out of time to catch up on the film franchise that began all the way back in 2002 with The Bourne Identity and appeared to conclude with The Bourne Ultimatum in 2007. After a worldwide search for the truth behind his identity and his past, Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) finally took the fight directly to the Central Intelligence Agency, exposed the assassin program, and even learned that his real name is David Webb. Check it out below! When Heather Lee suggests the Central Intelligence Agency could persuade Bourne to return to the fold, Damon keeps us guessing as to whether she’s right.

Paul Greengrass, director of The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum, once again joins Damon for the next chapter of the Bourne franchise.
Instead, director Paul Greengrass and his co-scriptwriter Christopher Rouse (also the movie’s editor, interestingly) focus on a coterie of supporting characters, including Alicia Vikander as a smooth-skinned computer surveillance whiz, Vincent Cassel as a deadly “asset” (translation: assassin), and Tommy Lee Jones as a melted jack-o’-lantern who’s also head of the Central Intelligence Agency. Frank Marshall again produces alongside Jeffrey Weiner for Captivate Entertainment, and Greengrass, Damon, Gregory Goodman and Ben Smith also produce. Based on characters created by Robert Ludlum, the film is written by Greengrass and Christopher Rouse. I don’t have enough time to watch all the other films before Jason Bourne’s release on July 29th, so I am thankful for this video.
As insane as it sounds, there are still those who haven’t seen a single Jason Bourne movie.
And, sensibly, everyone involved has chosen to ignore 2012’s The Bourne Legacy, an unnecessary attempt to continue the franchise with Jeremy Renner standing in for Damon’s magnetic title character.
