'Bourne 5' Spoilers: New Full-Length Trailer For 'Jason Bourne' Is Full Of Intrigue [VIDEO]
The first official full-length trailer for Jason Bourne has finally hit the internet and it promises a whole lot of intrigue.
The trailer starts with Bourne (Matt Damon) holed up in a dingy room in some remote part of the world, lying on a bed staring up as slowly his memory is revived, and things start to come back to him. He is seen having flashbacks--scenes from past movies--with closeups of his dog tag, and him being interrogated in brightly lit confines. "I know who I am," Bourne's voiceover is heard.
"I remember, I remember everything," Bourne says.
"You might remember everything but you don't know everything," Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles) tells him.
The two meet at an austerity riot in Athens, where it has been revealed that Nicky emerges to reunite with Bourne. As the clip progresses, the CIA is seen tracking the duo and using facial recognition technology to nail Bourne and Parsons. Tommy Lee Jones is also seen in the clip as the CIA honcho wondering the reason behind Bourne's return. A whole lot of pyrotechnics and action sequences which follow.
In a recent interview, Damon and director Paul Greengrass dished about the Athens riot scene, which is said to set the tone for the movie. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Greengrass revealed that the scene is very distinctive to the Bourne series.
"It's the kind of action sequence you can only see in a Bourne movie," the director said. "It marries action with a really intense, emotionally truthful next chapter in the Jason Bourne story."
In the same piece, Damon actually gave some context on how the storyline leads to the chase, which begins when Bourne helps Nicky escape some pursuers. "Life out in the cold isn't working for either of them," Damon said. "Nicky uses the riot for cover to meet with him, but she gets followed, and that sets the plot in motion."
Damon also talked about his experience filming the scene, which was filmed in Tenerife, Spain, standing in for Athens.
"Never for one second did I not feel like I was in the middle of some austerity riot," Damon said. "I don't know if it was something specific to Tenerife or that they were really excited to be in this movie or some combination of the two, but they [the extras] were awesome."
Jason Bourne will release on July 29, 2016.
