Universal scored early points during Sunday night’s Super Bowl by dropping the first trailer for the upcoming installment of the Bourne franchise — revealing the title of the eagerly awaited flick in the process.
There are plenty of enticing visuals on display in the 30 seconds of footage from “Jason Bourne” — including a mammoth car chase down the Vegas Strip and a "Fight Club"-style bare knuckles brawl. But the most important sight is Matt Damon back to reprise his most famous role, which he exited after 2007's "The Bourne Ultimatum," along with director Paul Greengrass.
The pair left the franchise when Universal Studios tried to fast-track a fourth Bourne movie into production before a script was written. In the absence of Damon, Jeremy Renner was tapped for a spin-off movie — 2012's "Bourne Legacy" — playing a different agent, Aaron Cross.
Both Damon and Greengrass are back for “Jason Bourne,” which hits theaters on July 29. Little is known about the plot, though Damon told the Daily News last summer that the film tackles some of the issues of spying and security that’s torn from today’s headlines.
“Nobody’s seen Jason Bourne since 2004, so by the time this comes out in 2016, it’ll be 12 years since he’s been on the grid,” Damon told The News at the time. “So we have to answer the question, where’s he been, what’s he doing, and what gets him going again. So once we solved all that then we had a movie. I’d say about it, the way the other ones were really about the Bush years, this is about where we are today, kind of a post-(Edward) Snowden world.”
It’s clear at least the titular former CIA operative at least is not having any memory issues.
“I know who I am, I remember everything,” Bourne says in the trailer.
His supporting cast promises to be pretty memorable as well: Tommy Lee Jones, Alicia Vikander, Julia Stiles and Viggo Mortensen round out the credits.
