Although the producers still aren’t letting slip many details of the film, it’s been revealed (via Deadline) that Oscar Isaac (Body Of Lies, Robin Hood) has landed the role of ‘Number 3’ in The Bourne Legacy, which is set to be directed by Tony Gilroy.
He will play another brainwashed assassin in the film, which stars Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton. Plot details are being kept under wraps, but we do know that Jason Bourne will not be featured in the film, and Jeremy Renner is set to play another assassin trained in the same program that Bourne was trained in. It also appears it’ll involve an even deeper conspiracy about a covert project even more secret that the Treadstone one that ended up with Jason Bourne a complete amnesiac.
No production date has been set, although it’ll have to start shooting relatively soon, as an August 2012 release date has already been set.
