Recasting The Characters Of The Bourne Identity

 The Bourne Identity is an action-spy thriller film directed by Doug Liman and released in the year 2002. It is the first installment in the Jason Bourne film series. The famous actor Matt Damon is playing the role of Jason Bourne in this film series. The film is based on a novel of the same name written by Robert Ludlum. The story of the film revolves around the character Jason Bourne who is finding his true identity and suffering from psychogenic amnesia. There are various characters, including Jason Bourne in The Bourne Identity, who have given fantastic performances in the film. But, who would be a great recast for the modern version of Jason Bourne film? In this article, we have discussed some of the best Hollywood actors and actresses who would be considered for the recasting of The Bourne Identity if the film has to be made today.

Jason Bourne: Chris Pratt

Matt Damon is the leading protagonist and performed brilliantly in the film The Bourne Identity. Talking about serious roles, Matt Damon can flourish in these roles. Chris Pratt is a young Hollywood actor and a famous candidate who would be recast in the newer version of Jason Bourne film. Fans have already seen him in the role of an action hero, and he is also a good looking man just like Matt Damon in 2002. Being a younger star, Chris can manage the entire Jason Bourne film series.

Marie Kreutz: India Eisley

The character of Marie Kreutz is portrayed by Franka Potente in the Jason Bourne series. She is a German actress and played the fantastic role of Jason Bourne’s girlfriend in the first two movies. A younger actress like India Eisley would be a perfect choice to play Jason Bourne’s girlfriend in place of Franka in the film. She holds considerable acting experience at such an early age and would be a better replacement for Franka. She is a beautiful and stunning actress and has also played the lead role in the TV series The Secret Life of the American Teenager and the film Headspace.

Alexander Conklin: Robert Patrick

The famous actor Chris Cooper played the role of the main antagonist in the film The Bourne Identity. Robert Patrick is one of the youngest actors in Hollywood and has a great experience playing the role of a likable antagonist. He would be a perfect choice to replace Cooper in the latest version of the film The Bourne Identity if the film was to be made today with new characters. Robert has played various villains in several famous Hollywood blockbusters such as Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Double Dragon, and Die Hard 2. So, he would fit into the role of Cooper very easily.

The Professor: Christian Bale

The character of The Professor in The Bourne Identity is portrayed by one of the most versatile and ageless actors Clive Owen. Although it has been 18 years since the original film The Bourne Identity was released, Clive Owen is still young enough to re-play the role of The Professor in the latest version of the film. To include the latest characters in this new Jason Bourne film, Christian Bale is one of the best actors to play the role of The Professor. He can adapt to any kind of role and perform it brilliantly. Christian has age and acting abilities similar to Owen. In this way, Christian would be an excellent replacement for Owen if The Bourne Identity was to be made today.

Ward Abbott: Benecio Del Toro

Brian Cox played the character of Ward Abbott in the 2002 film The Bourne Identity. Benecio Del Toro is a great replacement for Cox because he has already played various characters younger and older than his real age in various films in the past. Toro is an excellent Hollywood actor who can replace Cox in the modern version of Jason Bourne film.

After discussing some of the best actors in Hollywood, we have concluded that all of the above-discussed actors have great potential and ability to replace the old cast members of the film The Bourne Identity if it has to be made today.

Game of Thrones: 5 Ways Cersei Is Different From the Books to the Show

Game of Thrones is one of the most famous American television series so far. It has gained a lot of fame from its all the eight seasons so far. From the first season of Game of Thrones, Cersei Lannister was one of the most exciting characters. She has played a vital role in this television series as an excellent villain. However, Cersei Lannister differs from the books in some ways in Game of Thrones.

Here are the five ways in which Cersei is different from the books to the show.

Her First Child

In the series, it was said several times that the only good quality of Cersei was to her children. It can be proved by the instance when Cersei gave her condolences with Catelyn Stark. At that time, Bran was in a coma. She told Catelyn about her firstborn son. His name was Robert Baratheon, and unfortunately, he died as an infant. This was not featured in the books and was an additional content to the story of Game of Thrones to show Cersei a kind-hearted and tragic person who felt sorry about Bran.

Sympathetic

According to Game of Thrones, George R.R. Martin has played many times with the fan’s expectations of characters. For example, the character like Jaime Lannister and Theon Greyjoy was initially hated by the fans but at the end became favorite. On the other hand, the character of Cersei Lannister was shown to be sympathetic at some point in time. However, according to the books, Cersei was a pretty much evil person. Her nature was sadistic and always revolved around murders even from her young age. Her sympathetic nature was not depicted in any of the books.

Her Affairs

Robert and Cersei both were not faithful in their marriage to one another. Robert was handling his affairs quite openly. On the other hand, Cersei was secretive for some reason and did not reveal openly. In the first episode, we came to know that she was having an affair with her brother Jaime Lannister. Later, she was also shown to be sleeping with her cousin Lancel. However, these two relationships are true in the books also, but the relationship which was not depicted in the books was with some soldiers. She slept with some soldiers to get revenge only for the affairs, and that became responsible for Cersei’s arrest.

Unhinged

Cersei is a great strategy-expert and an excellent manipulator, as shown in the series. When she took over the Iron Throne, she was shown to be a more powerful and skilled leader as compared to Tywin Lannister. However, according to the books, Cersei wanted to become like Tywin, but she was not successful in that. In the books, she was a destructive and much evil person. Later, as the book expanded, she was shown to be more unstable with the expanding books.

The Valonqar Prophecy

At the beginning of season 5 of Game of Thrones, Cersei was shown as a young girl in flashback. She visited a witch who told her about her future. According to the predictions of that witch, Cersei would be queen, Robert would have many bastards, and the children of Cersei would die. However, this prophecy was included in the books as well, but one of the vital parts of the book was missing. The witch told Cersei that she was going to be killed by “The Valonqar” which is Valyrian for little brother. Most probably, this was the reason for Cersei to hate Tyrion. After exploring the differences between the original show and the books of the Game of Thrones, we have concluded that even though some instances have been added in the show but to resolve all the things properly, the addition of the story was well deserving.

Spider-Man: Far From Home – 10 Hidden Details You Didn’t Know About The Main Characters

 Spider-Man: Far From Home is a superhero film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe based on the Marvel comics. It is directed by Jon Watts and released in 2019. This film was a blockbuster and a sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming. The famous Hollywood actor Tom Holland is playing the role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man in this film.

The story of the movie tells us that Peter Parker is a senior high-school student. He is also a part of the team Avengers. Peter is known as Spider-Man because of his spider-like capabilities. He felt these abilities after being bitten by a radioactive spider. Peter can create or throw a web, crawl on the walls, and can swing in the air with the help of his rope-like web. In this film, Peter wants to get rid of his Spider-Man life and get his everyday teenage life back, but soon he realizes that it is impossible for him.

Here we will discuss ten hidden details you didn’t know about the main characters.

MJ’s Sweatshirt

Zendaya plays the character of MJ in the film. Here MJ does not stand for ‘Mary Jane,’ but it stands for ‘Michelle Jones.’ In the movie, she is wearing a cardigan, and a tiger is printed on it, which does not go with her image in the film. She would have some resemblance to Mary Jane instead of being a purposeless character.

Peter’s Suitcase Is Uncle Ben’s

In the first part of the Spider-Man trilogy, which was released in 2002, Peter’s beloved uncle Ben was murdered, and that had become the prime reason for the origin of Spider-Man as a superhero. Peter has brilliantly carried his uncle’s suitcase in all the recent movies of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His suitcase has ‘B.F.P’ printed on its front side. B.F.P stands for Benjamin Franklin Parker.

Mysterio’s Lurking

The character role of Mysterio is played by the actor Jake Gyllenhaal. He is a supervillain and the enemy of Spider-Man. He is seen in a Mysterio costume or mo-cap suit in the film, but there is a single scene in which he wears a Hawaii shirt and is standing in the background to scope out Peter Parker.

The Amazing Spider-Man #143

Spider-Man and MJ share a kiss at the end of the film. According to the comics, It is their first kiss. Spider-Man is not hanging down and does nothing spectacular. There is a license plate nearby – “ASM143”, which stands for “Amazing Spider-Man #143”.

Brad Davis Debuted In AMS #188

When Brad Davis was a kid, he did not return to his classes at Midtown. According to Ned, Now Brad has grown-up and is very popular among the girls. According to the comics, Brad played a perfect role, and he was also attracted to MJ.

Who Is Talos And Who Is Fury?

Nick Fury was seen as a happy and optimistic boy, and that was exactly opposite to the character Nick played in other MCU movies. This is because Fury thought to relax for some time on a Skrull ship before starting work. Meanwhile, Talos was posing as Nick. So, according to the fans, it is vice-versa for both Talos and Nick Fury.

E.D.I.T.H

E.D.I.T.H was a kind of sunglasses, which was given to Spider-Man by Tony Stark. Peter also made a suit for himself and which clears the mindset that MCU wants Peter Parker to take his rightful place.

Ned And Betty’s Tragic Tale

Ned Leeds and Betty Brant were in a relationship, but they were not in their relationship and kept on breaking up with each other and then patching up again. Betty once dated Peter also but became the target of Sin-Eater. Ned was hypnotized to become a villain. However, it did not happen.

Jonah And Peter’s Identity

J.K. Simmons played a small cameo role in the film Spider-Man: Far From Home. In his small cameo, he was seen telling the world that Peter is Spider-Man. Simmons played the role of John Jonah Jameson in all the three Spider-Man movies of Sam Raimi.

Aunt May Likes It

Peter’s dead old Aunt May did not know the truth about his Peter Parker for years. She did not know that Peter Parker is Spider-Man and used to hate Spider-Man. But in 2001’s Amazing Spider-Man #35, she got to know about the truth and also had a conversation with Peter about that. After learning about the fact, she also became a fan of Spider-Man.
