One of this summer’s biggest sequels is the highly-anticipatedJason Bourne, which brings starMatt Damonand directorPaul Greengrassback together after a nine-year hiatus. With just a few weeks left until thisaction sequelhits theaters, three new clips have surfaced, the first of which gives us a new look atAlicia Vikander’s character, CIA agent Heather Lee. This scene features Heather talking toMatt Damon’s title character over the phone, while watching him through a live video feed.
This clip, courtesy ofUniversal Pictures, also featuresTommy Lee Jonesas Robert Dewey, the CIA director who tries to talkJason Bourneinto stopping his quest for the truth and come in. Dewey also makes mention ofJason Bourne’s father who he calls a true patriot. While there is little we know aboutJason Bourne’s (i.e. David Webb) parents up until now, it’s clear that his father has a history with the Treadstone program Jason was a part of. Dewey reveals thatBourne’s father, Richard Webb, saw the threat towards America coming, hinting that he could have been one of the founders of Treadstone and the projects that came out of it, such as Blackbriar, Outcome and Iron Hand.
The second and third clips feature much more action, withMatt Damon’s title character stealing a motorcycle and taking out a number of his pursuers in rapid succession, while a full-blown riot erupts in Greece. The end of this scene shows Bourne picking up his former girlfriend/colleague Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles) before taking off on his stolen police motorcycle. The third and final clip shifts the action to Las Vegas, where Bourne trades in his motorcycle for a sports car, as he tracks downVincent Cassel’s villainous character in an intensechase scene.
