The Bourne Legacy

The fourth installment of the "Bourne" movie series will be set in Manila after its screenwriter and new director Tony Gilroy selected the Philippine capital, Asia News Network reported. However, the newest "Bourne" movie titled "The Bourne Legacy'' will no longer star Matt Damon since he said he would not do another Bourne film without Paul Greengrass, who announced in November 2010 that he had decided not to return as director. The film will not take place in a new canon; it will not be a reboot or prequel in any way, but more likely a "sidequel" or full spin-off with a new character in the mold of Bourne dealing with the ramifications of the Treadstone conspiracy "The Bourne Legacy" will also star English actress Rachel Weisz(The Mummy) and Oscar and Golden Globe nominee Jeremy Renner.
Men in Black III

G.I. Joe 2: Cobra Strikes
Release Date: August 10, 2012
Jon Chu, the guy that directed “Justin Bieber: Never say Never” is said to be the one helming the sequel to the successful($300 million Sales), but often criticized Original G.I Joe Movie. With some of the cast from the original movie coming back such as Channing Tatum (Captain Duke), and added characters such as Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson), It seems that Paramount is getting serious in making this film better than the first one. However I’m still having my doubts with Jon Chu as the director since his movies after all were mostly dance and musicals (Step up 2, Silent Beats). With his track record, I’m not so sure if he can direct blockbuster action movies(I’m hoping I’m wrong).
