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.
