First Trailer & Official Title For BOURNE 5 Will Reportedly Debut During Super Bowl 50
After an extended hiatus, Jason Bourne is back and we may be getting our first official look at his highly anticipated next adventure much sooner than later.
It's been nearly nine years since we last saw Jason Bourne (well, actually since The Bourne Ultimatum was set in 2004, it's been twelve years in movie-time). This summer, Bourne returns with a vengeance and now, we may know exactly when we should expect to get our first official look at the highly anticipated action thriller.
A few days back, Eric Van Lustbader, the current author of the Bourne series, posted the following message on his personal Facebook:
The message has since been deleted, and it's by no means official confirmation, but after yesterday's report from The Hollywood Reporter, it seems as though there may be some real weight to this rumor. Unlike rival studios, Universal bought a solo 60-second spot, but curiously didn't specify on what film they planned on promoting. Considering Bourne 5 is their biggest release of the year, it would make sense Universal would want to debut the film's much-awaited official title and release the first teaser trailer during the biggest football game of the year. Additionally, Universal has used the Super Bowl as a trailer launching pad for several of their biggest films over the years, including Jurassic World & the last three Fast & Furious movies. A Bourne installment with both franchise star Matt Damon & director Paul Greengrass returning seemingly also fits the bill.
On the off chance that their TV spot is not a first look at the next Bourne installment, they could plug either The Hunstman: Winter's War or Warcraft, both of which could benefit from some Super Bowl promotion, although neither really carries the mass appeal of the long-running Bourne franchise.
So, what do you guys think? Excited for Bourne's return? Sound off with your thoughts below!
Global superstar Matt Damon returns to his most iconic role as Jason Bourne in the fifth installment of Universal Pictures’ Bourne franchise. Acclaimed director Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, Captain Phillips) also returns for this much-anticipated chapter, and Frank Marshall again produces alongside Jeffrey Weiner and Ben Smith for Captivate Entertainment. Greengrass, Damon and Gregory Goodman also produce. The action-thriller is written by Greengrass, Damon and Christopher Rouse. Julia Stiles, Alicia Vikander, Vincent Cassel and Tommy Lee Jones join Damon for the action-thriller.
