Oscar Isaac joins 'Bourne Legacy'

Even though I will truly miss Matt Damon as Jason Bourne, I am still somewhat intrigued by the upcoming "The Bourne Legacy," and the cast for the thriller is still growing. The latest to join the party: Oscar Isaac, who also starred in "Robin Hood."

Deadline points out Isaac tested for the lead role, but as you may know, that part went to Jeremy Renner, who is awesome, by the way. Isaac will play Number 3, another brainwashed assassin. Apparently, it's a big, important role.

Tony Gilroy will direct "Legacy," which will also star Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton. As for Isaac, his acting credits also include "Body of Lies," "Agora," "Drive," "Sucker Punch" and "The Life Before Her Eyes." Expect to see this guy more often, folks.

Big trailer for Amenábar's 'Agora' has arrived

Alejandro Amenábar next film is a war epic entitled "Agora," and the first feature trailer for the movie has debuted online. Check it out after the jump, because it looks grand indeed, filled with big battles and goodies for your eyes. Oh, and it's got Rachel Weisz in it as well.

Amenábar, of course, is known for his recent films "The Others" and the brilliant drama "Mar adentro" (The Sea Inside), but his directing credits also include "Open Your Eyes" and "Tesis." I'm not the biggest fan of historic flicks going back this much in time, but I admit "Agora" (which is set in the 4th century A.D.) looks intriguing.
