"You think that Jason Bourne was the whole story?"

By now, it's clear that he's not. But Universal Pictures want to make sure that they're making that message clear in the three new TV spots the studio just released for "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/382540/moviemain.jhtml"]The Bourne Legacy[/url]" (via [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BK4FbjXwnTU"]TheMovieBox.net[/url]). No, Bourne wasn't the whole story because there's also Aaron Cross ([url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/166913/personmain.jhtml"]Jeremy Renner[/url]), an Outcome experiment who has had two altered chromosomes but is "not just a science project." Those two elements and the fact that Cross is out for revenge seems to be all anyone needs to know about the upcoming movie.



Of course, that's sort of all we [i]want [/i]to know as well. The "Bourne" movies are fun because we can never quite figure out what they're all about until they're over, and we're glad Universal is (hopefully) keeping most of the major plot points close to their chest.



In a [url="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2012/06/27/matt-damon-jeremy-renner-bourne/"]recent interview[/url], Renner explained what sets Cross apart from his predecessor.

"[Cross is] coming from a completely different background to Jason [Bourne]. He knows exactly who he is; he signed up to this," Renner explained. "He wants to be part of a team. I can tell you he was in the military then he joined the [program]. He's a person who wants to be part of something... to have a sense of purpose. But then it's taken away."

"The Bourne Legacy" comes out August 10.

[i]What do you think of "The Bourne Legacy's" marketing campaign so far? Is it important that Universal make Cross' connection to Bourne clear? Tell us in the comments section below or on [url="http://twitter.com/mtvmoviesblog"]Twitter[/url]![/i]
