The first full-length trailer for The Bourne Legacy has finally been released online and it looks like the viral marketing campaign for the actioner has kicked off.
Luckily, Universal Pictures has released the first official 30-second TV spot, which is just as action-packed, Ed Norton-filled; it's so much richer than the usual ‘sequel bait,' including a scene from the trailer showed an action-packed motorcycle chase with lead star Jeremy Renner.
The Bourne Legacy introduces us to a new hero (Renner) whose life-or-death stakes have been triggered by the events of the first three films. The action thriller also stars Rachel Weisz, Albert Finney, Joan Allen, Scott Glenn, Stacy Keach and Oscar Isaac.
The action-packed sidequel/spin-off hits theaters on August 10th, 2012.
Hit the jump to check out the trailer, along with 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 whose life-or-death stakes have been triggered by the events of the first three films.
