I was just told that rumor has it, that the Philippines is seriously being considered for the filming of the Bourne Legacy. About time, because I once bragged that the Bourne fighting move is the Philippine arnis art of self defense. It is just fitting that Bourne showcase our islands and our people. Oh well, I hope they film the good scenic spots, like the Manila Bay sunset...
When the crew comes, I do hope to see them in live action...

Wow! It would be amazing if that's true! I love the Jason Bourne films! I hope I can see them shoot if that happens.

Really? That will be great because i've never been to philippines and i hope the movie will be a good showcase of how philippines is like. However i don't agree on the fighting move used by Bourne in the movie. I read it on some reviews for the past few installments. It's mentioned he's using Israeli combat skills to unarm his opponents. Did i get it wrong somewhere?

Dudes, when you mentioned good scenic spots I didn't know you'd be following it with Manila Bay sunset. lol! I had in mind the Chocolate Hills or the old heritage sites, not the sunset. hehe. But then again, I don't think they'll have Bourne at these places, what would he be doing at the Chocolate Hills? lol! So I guess you're right. Manila Bay sunset would be nice.

Or something scenic like the Rice Terraces, or maybe even Vigan? I hope that this is true! The Philippines should have a proper film office so that Hollywood can take proper notice of what we have to offer :)

What!? There's another film? Man these films are so good. I believe the actor for Jason Bourne has filmed in the Philippines a few time, so he should feel right at home. If not, if you Filipino and you see this, make sure to make him feel right at home when you see him =). This is very exciting news, thanks for posting it, also i believe they used kali self defense in the movie as well.

Because I seen same discussion type said something another name but I forget... I'm not sure if the orginal cast, if say so it is great sequel. or I don't know the new flat....
