I also hope she picked the right one, but I doubt her choice. Viggo Mortensen refused the role he was offered in Bourne, and he has great integrity as an actor. AC is a gamble as a franchise, and in addition she would be third lead, but the chance to be in a film with Fassy and Marion, two of the most respected actors around, might be worth it. The Circle has Tom Hanks; remember how he went to bat for Barkhad Abdi? Instead she picked the role of the "Girl" in an aging franchise. To me, she picked the least interesting of the three.

I think a big part of Alicia choosing Bourne is because of Paul Greengrass and Matt, she usually chooses projects based on the people who are involved. I'm sure she would have loved to work with Fassy and Marion but I think she didn't want people to talk as if she only got the part because of Michael. She wants to make it on her own. I think The Circle wasnt enough of a challenge, she's done a ton of drama and wants to do something else. Time will tell, she might have made a misstake, we'll see. I'm sure she's got plenty of exciting projects coming up.

Is Viggo officially out of Bourne, btw?

No, there hasn't been any official news on Viggo.

If you read comments on movie sites regarding her choosing Bourne over AC, people seem to think it's a no brainer, 'of course she chose an acclaimed franchise instead of video game adaptations!', and people are generally excited with the original Bourne returning after that crap with Jeremy Renner.
Also they probably wrote a strong female character in Bourne which she's drawn into.

AC was the least appealing for me (sorry Michael!) :p i was hoping it's either The Circle or Bourne. Tom Hanks should be put into consideration, but i would want to work with Greengrass too!

Also, has anyone read The Danish Girl? I'm wondering if her character is more of a supporting role or a lead (like Felicity Jones in TTOE for example)?

I suppose her character is more like Felicity Jones in TTOE. IF Focus will campaign for her and Redmayne,it will depend on how much crowded will be the lead and supporting categories.

I personally am happy she chose Bourne, I'm a huge fan of the first movies and I think as far as action goes, it doesnt get better. And I think it's a good opportunity to widen her audience. And they've worked on the cript for quite a while so I'm sure it will be good!

I haven't seen TTOE, Felicity has a supporting role in that one, right? The Danish Girl is Alicias character's story, based on her going through her husbands changes, so unless they've changed it up for the movie it should be a lead part. She did say both she and Eddie is in most scenes of the film. Someone wrote on twitter yesterday that they hade seen it (not sure how much of it), at I'm guessing cineeurope and wrote that it was really good and predicted Oscar noms for both Alicia and Eddie :)

Felicity was nominated for lead actress, and TTOE was actually based on Jane Hawking's memoir about her life with Stephen, so i guess it's similar to TDG in terms of POV?

I've heard from a couple people who attended test screenings that the movie itself is a bit of a mess, though Alicia is quite good in it.

The first shot from Alicia's Lous Vuitton campaign:

Oh, that's a shame. From the Cannes reactions it seemed like people were plesently surprised
and liking it. Hopefully they'll be able to make something good of it.

Can't wait for the rest of the pictures from the LV campaign to come out! And also, need the press tour for the man from uncle to start, like yesterday!
