Jeremy Renner the lead role in the Tony Gilroy-directed _The Bourne Legacy._
Renner, who has been nominated for Oscars the past two years for his work in
_The Hurt Locker _and _The Town_, is expected to sign on quickly to play a new
character in the spinoff film that begins production in September. Like the
Jason Bourne character played by Matt Damon in the first three_ Bourne
Identity_ thrillers, Renner will play an operative from a covert government
program that is even more dangerous than the Treadstone brainwashing program
that hatched Bourne. Renner was one of the names rumored as the studio went
through two cycles of tests over eight weeks to find the right guy. That
decision was made today. Even though Renner plays an agent in the upcoming
_Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol_, the studio felt clearly that he was in a
position similar to where Damon was when his career took off with Bourne.
Renner is not a kid, but he is really hitting his stride and poised to become
a big star after numerous strong performances.
