I don't know, I just thought it was really dumb. It's kind of one of those Twilight things where everyone likes this kind of bland girl without it ever being explained why. Her character was really dull and it took forever for it to actually go anywhere. I'm sure the script is good, the book got some interesting ideas to it but I don't see people going to the cinemas to watch it. Sure it's a lead role but they would have to hire a really special actress to make the character likable, not even Alicia or Emma are that good :P I wonder why Hanks signed on, the script must have something more.

I see Viggo has been offered a part, a friend of Michael's - at this rate Michael will want in too!

Well i'm quite excited about Bourne since Greengrass returns. I'm still very cynical about video game adaptations so...
Haven't read the Circle so i can't tell how challenging it could be..i was hoping she'll do it only because she'll be the lead character instead of supporting

Was it really bad? I've read the reviews on goodreads and they were mostly mixed reviews idk what to think of it. I saw several people commenting about how it offers nothing new but i'm not sure what that means

I currently have to read The Circle for university and it's quite good once you get into it. The Mae character has the biggest change of personality across the whole story.
The book is very timely because some of the things being depicted in it are happening right now in the world. And some things that have been depicted (the book was written in 2013) are happening now which is kinda scary because the book gives some kind of outlook what could go wrong.

The point was that her character was supposed to be dull. She's the nice, naive and innocent girl coming from a small town and then, in her opinion, winning the lottery by getting this great job in a big company. You were supposed to feel with her because she could be anybody of us (except I'm not that stupid) and therefore her story could happen to anyone of us.

Maybe I'm a bit harsh, but her character... can't stand her. I think it's a story that will be better once on screen, the way the book is written isn't the best and for sure Hanks part will be bigger in the movie!

Well, for me it seems like choosing between poo and crap. Both are just some action movies. The Circle would've been more demanding.



I think they confused it because of her shooting The Danish Girl. You know, Americans, for them Europe is a big ol' country.

Like I said,I prefer to see her in Bourne and not in AC. I don't what to think about The Circle.. Maybe she has other projects.

I've seen all the Bourne movies and there really wasn't a "strong" female character. There was the useless love interest and useless friend/foe that either helped him or tried to catch him using technology. It would be nice for the new one to actually give them something to do

I literally would be shocked if the new Bourne movie films solely in London. As far as locations, IIRC, it seems that there were, at the very least, four or five countries for each of the first three Bourne movies. I'm sure the movie will be London centric (maybe for interior shots at a studio) but I can't imagine the whole thing being shot only in London. I'm wondering if this is why she had to turn down a role in AC.

Guess there will be locations too but they haven't been specified as far as I know. Do we know the story line? That might offer some clues..

Know nothing about the storyline but there is talks that it will be based on the fourth book, Betrayal. Having read the plot I'm not sure. In the Jenner sequel Bourne is in Moscow, so he'll probably return from that. Alicia chooses her roles wisely, don't think she'll play just some love interest. Has to be more to it then that. She constantly talks about the importance of strong female roles. She's probably in it for the action.

Joan Allen is pretty kickass? Not that it's a given that Alicia will play someone like her but it is possible..

I like the films but if you aren't Joan Allen, the female roles aren't very filled out. Fingers crossed that changes this time around.
