[Synopsis]

Two years ago, Jason Bourne thought he had walked away from his past. But now, his past is about to return. Bourne and Marie have maintained their anonymous, underground existence at the cost of permanence. Fueled by splintered nightmares and haunted by the past he cannot remember, Bourne moves Marie from city to city, trying to remain one step ahead of the threat implicit in every unexplained stranger’s glance, every “wrong number” phone call — that at any second, without any warning, he might get pulled back into the world he hopes he left behind. When an operative appears in the sleepy village that has been their latest home, Bourne and Marie collapse their lives and head out. His past at the door, their only chance now is to run. But once a line is crossed and the stakes in a new global game of cat-and-mouse are raised, the Jason Bourne created by Treadstone — the covert, now dismantled operation that spawned cold-blooded, professional assassins — returns. Two years ago, Bourne walked away from the deadly world that created him with a promise of retaliation should anyone attempt contact. Now that that world has indeed come calling, Bourne intends to keep his word. They should have left him alone.

» JULIA SAYS

“I thought that I’d gotten out of the world of the CIA after almost being killed in the first one and Joan Allen is sort of heading the operation to find him again. She drags me off of the street and against my will kind of makes me help her find him because they think that I have more information. I was the last person to see Jason Bourne alive and they think that I have a lot more information. They make me sort of spy on him.”

“I’m really happy that I don’t have any action scenes. Most of my [scenes] are more psychologically driven scenes. Matt does a lot of the action stuff.”

“I have a really great scene with Matt in the movie where he catches me sort of spying on him, and at the risk of giving too much away, he remembers that I was the last person who saw him and so, he also wants to help me fill him in on his past, but he wants to do it without the CIA sort of observing us or having me wired. He drags me into the subway and is interrogating me and even holds a gun to my head and things like that. I don’t want to give it all away.”
