Matt Damon Inhabits Iconic Role Anew in "Jason Bourne"

In the world of action choreography, chase sequences and intricate switchbacks, the Bourne films—with their innovative story and structure—have set a new standard for an entire genre. For almost 10 years, audiences have demanded director Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon reunite for another chapter that is equal parts intellect, espionage and action. The long wait is over, and now we finally have the next installment in the franchise: “Jason Bourne.”

A lot has happened in the world since operative Jason Bourne (Damon) went off the grid at the end of 2007’s “The Bourne Ultimatum”—and it’s precisely the passage of time that has allowed for his return. Filmmakers had long sought the precise confluence of socio-political events that would provide the iconic Bourne with the right global stage that could further his story.

Alicia Vikander Vows to Bring In Rogue Agent "Jason Bourne"

Oscar® winner Alicia Vikander (“The Danish Girl,” “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.”) stars in Universal Pictures’ new action thriller “Jason Bourne” as Heather Lee, a prodigy hacker in the CIA, whose talents lie in her ability to analyze and predict, through social media, possible conflicts in different parts of the world—and then to exert influence or even control them.

“Heather is a young woman who went to Stanford and was recruited by many organizations,” says producer Gregory Goodman. “She could have chosen the private sector and made millions, but it’s clear she’s a smart person who’s made a specific choice about what matters in her life. It’s not just that she’s ambitious, she also wants to be effective; she feels she’s going to make her mark by bringing Bourne back in. We needed to cast an actor of some power, to be going up against Tommy; their relationship is definitely one of spirited conflict.”
