“Jason Bourne” is a conscious response to that right off the bat as Nicky’s downloading of files on yet another US black ops program – this one called Iron Hand – again puts the CIA on Bourne’s trail. The “Bourne” trilogy (2002-07) had kept answers and characterization at arm’s length on purpose most strikingly to my mind, Julia Stiles is in a top-billed role as a Treadstone tech agent but doesn’t have much to do. Finally, the backgroundīut this is an unusual capper to the five-film saga in that we get Bourne’s (Matt Damon) background at the end. Screenwriters Paul Greengrass and Christopher Rouse stand on the shoulders of Tony Gilroy (writer of the first four movies) and Robert Ludlum (creator of the character) in “Jason Bourne.” With the duo also resuming their regular duties – Greengrass as director, Rouse as editor – the familiar style of blue-lit command rooms, world-hopping and fist- and street-based action is in place. Next up is the fifth film, “Jason Bourne” (2016): 6-14, we’re looking back at the five films of the “Bourne” series, so prepare to have your memory refreshed. It follows much of the same beats as the 2002 film, with Jason Bourne (played by Richard Chamberlain) awakening and not remembering who he is while displaying skills most normal people don't know.F rom Jan. If you want to see absolutely everything Bourne-related, then you need to check out this made-for-TV movie that aired on ABC in two parts in 1988. Treadstone is on Amazon Video in the UK, as well as coming to channel 5Action. It can also be watched as a standalone, or after the film series, which is what we recommend.
Note: You could watch Treadstone first, before the films, in your re-watch, but the jump to the present day in the first season might confuse or not mean as much to you. From there, the show dives into the present day, with Treadstone assets going about their normal lives until they are suddenly activated and become world-class assassins like Bourne. It’s part-prequel and part-sequel to the Bourne film series, with some of the story set in 1973, when we see CIA operative John Randolph Bentley (played by Jeremy Irvine) escape from a Soviet behavior modification program known as Cicada in East Berlin.
The first and only season of Treadstone aired on the USA Network.
