If you're a fan of the Bourne franchise, you must already know the outrage that followed the announcement that a fourth film would be made without Matt Damon and, just as worse, without Jason Bourne himself.

In recent weeks, “The Bourne Legacy” with Jeremy Renner has gone a long way to distance itself from such talk for the simple reason that the studio is selling it as an “extension” of the original trilogy and not necessarily a sequel or a remake.

That doesn't mean that some fans are any less outraged by it, of course. The Funny Or Die video below should at least bring a smile on their face for putting into moving images those very things that have bugged them all along.

“The Damon Legacy” says that “there was never just Matt” and shows Renner being set up to take over from him in the franchise – and it does so by using the footage released as the first official trailer.
