And though the movie series would, obviously, continue on past this point, and though the subsequent chapters would largely continue their predecessors’ penchant for having overlapping stories and timeframes, this trilogy can still be regarded as a separate narrative unit with its own beginning, middle, and end, telling the story of Jason Bourne’s genesis.Īnd “genesis” is the correct term to use here. The success of 2002’s The Bourne Identity led, in typical Hollywood fashion, to 2004’s The Bourne Supremacy and 2007’s The Bourne Ultimatum, with this first trio of films initially coming to be considered a proper trilogy by the creators.

The initial Bourne trilogy “The Bourne Identity” (Please note that we’ll be excluding the prequel TV show Treadstone from this summary, as its connectivity to the Bourne movies is somewhat limited. If you don’t have the time to work through that filmography yourself, however, don’t worry – just as we did with the Fast & Furious franchise, we’ll be happy to provide the lowdown for you. But that’s not all that the new production draws from its cinematic predecessors – there are several elements that will be making their way onto the stage, which means that a foray into superspy Jason Bourne’s big-screen antics is a must-do. The move proved to be so consequential, it not only continues to influence Hollywood to this day, it also launched one of Universal Pictures’s biggest franchises (which now consists of five films and a television series) and rekindled the original book series (which skyrocketed from just three installments under original author Robert Ludlum to 12 under replacement scribe Eric Van Lustbader).Īll of which explains why Universal Studios Florida is now receiving The Bourne Stuntacular, a new stunt show that also places a premium on practical effects and live actors.
When The Bourne Identity was released in theaters in 2002, it heralded a whole new era in action filmmaking, shifting the focus from big, over-the-top set pieces (perhaps most perfectly exemplified by the Matrix trilogy) to smaller, more subtle sequences, with a particular emphasis on practical stunts and handheld, docu-style cinematography (as most effectively seen in Identity’s big car chase).
