The first full trailer for The Bourne Legacy has landed, giving us a decent look at how the film links into the previous films, even though it doesn’t feature Matt Damon, and has Jeremy Renner in the lead instead. Here’s the synopsis: ‘The narrative architect behind the Bourne film series, Tony Gilroy, takes the helm in the next chapter of the hugely popular espionage franchise that has earned almost $1 billion at the global box office: The Bourne Legacy. The writer/director expands the Bourne universe created by Robert Ludlum with an original story that introduces us to a new hero (Jeremy Renner) whose life-or-death stakes have been triggered by the events of the first three films. For The Bourne Legacy, Renner joins fellow series newcomers Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Stacy Keach and Oscar Isaac, while franchise veterans Albert Finney, Joan Allen, David Strathairn and Scott Glenn reprise their roles.’

New Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Trailer – The President takes on the bloodsuckers
Although there’s still the possibility it’ll be a horrible mess, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is definitely one of this summer’s most intriguing flick. The trailers we’ve had certainly look cool! Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter reimagines the American president as an axe-wielding, highly trained vampire hunter. Seth Grahame-Smith’s book, on which the movie will be based, gives new context to Lincoln’s rise to the presidency as well as the American Civil War (which was fought because the vampires were in league with the slave owners), suggesting these events were a lot more paranormal than history tells us, and stemmed from Lincoln’s mother’s murder by a vampire when he was a child. The film hits UK cinemas August 2nd.

Although F1 isn’t that popular in the US, Ron Howard is hoping the lure of fast cars and womanising men will lure in an audience over there for Rush, which follows the 1970s rivalry on Nikki Lauda and James Hunt (Daniel Bruhl and Chris Hemsworth), the former a more staid, professional man, while the latter loved the high life and fast women. The featurette above first aired on the BBC and gives us our first look at the film, which is shooting now for release next year.
