>> Brad Pitt was offered the role of Jason Bourne, but turned it down to do Spy Game (2001)
>> Russell Crowe, Matthew McConaughey and Sylvester Stallone were considered for the role of Jason Bourne
>> Unlike the James Bond franchise, all the devices that Bourne uses are real and can be purchased by the average citizen
>> Julia Stiles was only 19 years old when she was first cast as a member of CIA
>> Jeremy Renner's Bourne movie was supposed to have the release date of July 2016 with Justin Lin directing, but after Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass said they were going to make another film, they took this release date as fans would prefer to see the return of Jason Bourne. Renner's Bourne movie will happen somewhere around 2018 or 2020
>> First Bourne film to not have the franchise's trademark title format of The Bourne . This film is instead called Jason Bourne rather than its originally rumored title The Bourne Betrayal.
