Matt Damon is Bourne again

Matt Damon is Bourne again

Ten years we've waited, now Matt Damon reprises his role as the rogue CIA super spy with memory issues - Jason Bourne.

That's exactly what the film is called, and reunites Damon with director Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy/The Bourne Ultimatum).

After the misnamed misfire The Bourne Legacy, the pressure is on for the two to return and refloat the franchise - this they do.

Matt Damon kick-started his global promo tour in Sydney, finishing off in Las Vegas. He spoke to Kate Rodger about what it took to come back to the Bourne fray, how lucky they were to get Oscar-winner Alicia Vikander on board for this sequel, and why Tommy Lee Jones is a national treasure.
