Watch the trailer again... there are three quick flashes of Franke Potente in it. Is she back from the dead? I hate being teased!

I'm betting that they found a look-alike to try and lure Bourne in. I mean, really, what motivation does he have to continue his fight? He could stop now, but the agency wants him dead and silenced. They would have the motive to do something like that. Anything to get him riled up, anything to get him to make a miscalculation. I'm betting on the look-alike booby trap.

Or maybe she really isn't dead?

Maybe we should read the books?

I was kind of hinting at that... anyone read the books?

The only thing the books & movies have in common is an amnesiac covert agent named Jason Bourne and some other character names.

The books & movies are two completely different stories. While I've enjoyed the movie series I would love to see a movie trilogy actually based on the books...would be kind of dated now since the Cold War is over.

It looked like she was advising people to be careful.

The scene in Supremacy where he calls her in the CIA base while looking at her through the scope of a Walther 2000 was badass. She knows that it isn't a good idea to fsck with him.

considering that the Supremacy had nearly nothing to do with the novel, and that there's no chance that the Ultimatum follows its respective novel, who knows if the movies will get repetative

"You look tired Pam." I love that scene. :)

Again, people if you like the movies, you'll probably love the books. I recommend reading them. The book trilogy is a great story...Cain is for Carlos and Delta is for Cain

Gonna be a great year for movies (or summer at least)

Strongest product slate in history. The first part of the year was unexpectedly strong as well with 300/Wild Hogs/Night at the Museum and a number of other films surpassing all expectations. Warner Brothers almost sh!t a brick when 300 turned in 70 million the first weekend.

yeah... the movies really haven't been following the books at all except in the titles, which isn't necessarily a bad thing imo.

agreed. i really liked the first book, but ludlum didn't seem very inspired with the 2nd and 3rd novels.

i thought the first movie was decent and the second was excellent. hopefully they veer even further away from the 3rd novel and create another schweet movie.

I thought there were already three films :confused:

I guess that shows you how much I know - I think I've seen only the first one.

Whoa! I just noticed that Nicky (Julia Stiles) cut off her hair and dyed it black just like Marie did in Bourne Identity. I wonder what thats about.

Looking very good, can't wait to see it.

I loved the first one, but the fight scenes in the second one pissed me off. Sure, having a camera in there bobbing and weaving all over the place makes it more "real" but if I can't see if fight clearly when I'm watching my movie, I'll just get pissed at the director for his stupidity.
