I watched a brilliant analysis a while back about what the first Bourne movie would be like if it was limited to only Bourne's perspective, progressing through the story following only him, and discovering things about his identity and past only at the times he himself does.

It honestly seemed brilliant, and I'd love them to take some risks and make a movie like that, something different that stands a chance of becoming iconic.

What I think we'll actually get is yet another generic spy thriller that fails to achieve even half what the original Bourne Identity did. But there we go.
