The Bourne Legacy

The Bourne Legacy may refer to:

  • The Bourne Legacy (novel), a 2004 novel by Eric Van Lustbader
  • The Bourne Legacy (film), a 2012 film starring Jeremy Renner
  • The Bourne Legacy (film)

    The Bourne Legacy is a 2012 American action spy thriller film directed by Tony Gilroy, and is the fourth installment in the series of films adapted from the novels originated by Robert Ludlum, and continued by Eric Van Lustbader. Although this film has the same title as Van Lustbader's first Bourne novel, The Bourne Legacy, the actual screenplay bears little resemblance to the novel. Unlike the novel, which features Jason Bourne as the principal character, the film centers on Black ops agent Aaron Cross (played by Jeremy Renner), an original character. In addition to Renner, the film stars Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton.

    The titular character Jason Bourne does not appear in The Bourne Legacy, because actor Matt Damon, who played Bourne in the first three films, chose not to return for a fourth film. However, there are various pictures of Damon as Bourne shown throughout the film, and his name is mentioned several times. Tony Gilroy, co-screenwriter of the first three films, sought to continue the story of the film series without changing its key events, and parts of The Bourne Legacy take place at the same time as the previous film, The Bourne Ultimatum (2007).

    The Bourne Legacy (novel)

    The Bourne Legacy is a 2004 spy fiction thriller written by Eric Van Lustbader. It is the fourth novel in the Jason Bourne series created by Robert Ludlum and the first to be written by Lustbader. He has also written eight more novels in the series, The Bourne Betrayal, The Bourne Sanction, The Bourne Deception, The Bourne Objective, The Bourne Dominion, The Bourne Imperative, The Bourne Retribution and The Bourne Ascendancy.

    Plot summary

    With the climactic events of The Bourne Ultimatum behind him, Jason Bourne is able to once again become David Webb, now professor of linguistics at Georgetown University. However, this serenity does not last for long and, when a silenced gunshot narrowly misses Webb's head, the Bourne Persona awakens in him yet again.

    Bourne's first objective is to get to his longtime friend and handler at the CIA, Alex Conklin.

    However, unbeknownst (as yet) to Bourne, a Hungarian by the name of Stepan Spalko has now drawn Jason into a web—one which he cannot escape as easily as his professorial façade.

    The Legacy

    by: Abigor

    Overwhelming fear
    As all nightmares come to life
    Extracted pain unfolds within this realm of fear
    A change of visions extend my mind
    Psychotropic pulse
    I am the chosen one – Satan's son
    A flash of shivering stardust enlightens
    The truth beyond the portals
    Reality's borders fade – replaced by liquid glass
    Modulation tunes reveal
    All your tears unleashed
    All souls wrapped in plastic and wonder how
    It must hurt to see all the fears unleashed…
    A battlefield of indescribable beauties
    Like silver statues that glide
    In everlasting oceans depths
    Legions march onwards in their perpetual cycle
    But soon our journey reach it's end
    And since ages I felt that kind of satisfaction
    As my one and only axe strike hits the hand
    Of my chosen victim that kneels crying before me
    Oh how I enjoyed to see him cry and finally die
    Now your prophetic redeemer is dead
    But take a look around and understand
    What has changed, say to do really miss him?
    So forget all set up morals
    And let eternal wisdom flow
    Cosmic revelation – demonic incarnation
    Collective concentration – total devastation
    Psychotropic pulse
    I am the chosen one – Satan's son
    A flash of shivering stardust enlightens
    The truth beyond the portals
