"The Bourne Legacy" wants Jeremy Renner!

I am certain that most of you readers still remember about how these young actors are contending to get the title role of "The Bourne Legacy". But seems like Tony Gilroy, the helmer of all Bourne series, wants one more name to be added to the list: Jeremy Renner!

Judging from his Oscar-worthy performance in "The Town", I personally think Renner will be a great fit to this Bourne-kind-of-role. He's been starring in numerous action movies; "S.W.A.T", "28 Weeks Later", and "The Hurt Locker" to name a few. He also has a great part in upcoming "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol", and his biggest break would be the fact that he is selected as Hawkeye, the Marvel superhero who will appear as a cameo in "Thor" and the main role in 2012's "The Avengers". He was of course nominated as Best Supporting Actor in this year's Oscar. I'm sure none of you will doubt his talent by now.

Stay tune for more updates of "The Bourne Legacy" development! The movie is already set to hit theatres on August 3, 2012.

Four actors to have "The Bourne Legacy" screen test

According to Deadline, the four names of who's going to have special screen test for Universal's upcoming action flick "The Bourne Legacy" have been announced. "Tron: Legacy", "Country Strong", and upcoming "On The Road" star Garrett Hedlund, "The Thing"'s Joel Edgerton, "The History Boys" and upcoming "Captain America: The First Avenger"'s Dominic Cooper, and the recently cast in "The Amateur American" Luke Evans are scheduled to test in first week of April.

Among those names, there's speculation that "Across the Universe" and recently added to "Prometheus" cast list Logan Marshall Green has been added to the mix, as well as two popular names Shia LaBeouf (who doesn't need any screen test to get into the list -- well, he is Shia LaBeouf) and Taylor Kitsch (who apparently has met with Tony Gilroy the director). But Deadline's Nikki Finke said that the studio might not need big star to replace Matt Damon in this "Bourne" series spin-off, and that fresh faces will likely be 'fancied' more.

New male lead for "The Bourne Legacy" is on search

The fourth installment of "Bourne" franchise is on the way. Tony Gilroy, the writer and director of the upcoming "The Bourne Legacy" is reportedly searching for a new male lead. It's not that Jason Bourne (the leading character from the previous trilogy played by Matt Damon) will be replaced — but the new lead will likely be the new main focus.

According to Variety, Gilroy puts an eye on three famous names: Garrett Hedlund, who dazzled the cinema last year in "Tron: Legacy" and "Country Strong", the Academy Award nominee Jake Gyllenhaal, and the former "Spider-Man" Tobey Maguire.

The production of this movie itself will begin this spring, soon after they find the leading man. It is to be released in August 3, 2012.
