Rachel Weisz in serious talks to star in The Bourne Legacy
Last week, we reported that Rachel Weisz is in talks for the Oz: The Great and Powerful role, and while it's possible she may be able to pull off both roles, it seems unlikely. Oz: The Great and Powerful is planning on a summer production start, while The Bourne Legacy is gearing towards a September start date.
We reported in April that Jeremy Renner was offered the lead in The Bourne Legacy, portraying a young covert agent who enters a program similar to Treadstone from the first three movies. We haven't heard if Jeremy Renner has accepted the role yet, or if negotiations have started.
If Rachel Weisz goes with Oz: The Great and Powerful, she will star alongside James Franco, who plays Oz, and Mila Kunis, who plays the eventual Wicked Witch of the West, Theodorah.
The Bourne Legacy comes to theaters August 3rd, 2012 and stars Rachel Weisz, Jeremy Renner, Joan Allen, Albert Finney, Oscar Isaac, Edward Norton, Stacy Keach, Scott Glenn. The film is directed by Tony Gilroy.
Oz: The Great and Powerful comes to theaters March 8th, 2013 and stars James Franco, Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams, Abigail Spencer, Zach Braff, Joey King. The film is directed by Sam Raimi.
