The Bourne Movies (Story In Action Book 2);

“They should have left him alone...”

The release of “Jason Bourne” starts a proposed new trilogy in the Bourne story... The film returns Matt Damon (and director Paul Greengrass) to the Bourne series after “Bourne Legacy” (which was *also* supposed to be the first in a trilogy). What draws us to these films about an amnesiac assassin trying to find the secrets of his past? Why do we now have *two* proposed trilogies?

This book looks at all five “Bourne” movies (including “Legacy” and it’s potential sequels) - What are the techniques used to keep the characters and scenes exciting and involving? Reinventing the thriller genre... or following the “formula”? How does the paranoia thriller subgenre work? What makes an “intelligent” thriller? How to “elevate” your story. A look at the “Arrogance Of Sequels”. European style car chases vs. the American style. Involving the audience. Tradecraft and the espionage genre. What makes some of these films work and others... well, not work at all?

Five films - each with an interesting experiment! A detailed analysis of each of the films, the way these thrillers work... as well as a complete list of box office and critical statistics for each film.

This book is great for writers, directors, and just fans of the series.
