But that’s not all that the new production draws from its cinematic predecessors – there are several elements that will be making their way onto the stage, which means that a foray into superspy Jason Bourne’s big-screen antics is a must-do. The move proved to be so consequential, it not only continues to influence Hollywood to this day, it also launched one of Universal Pictures’s biggest franchises (which now consists of five films and a television series) and rekindled the original book series (which skyrocketed from just three installments under original author Robert Ludlum to 12 under replacement scribe Eric Van Lustbader).Īll of which explains why Universal Studios Florida is now receiving The Bourne Stuntacular, a new stunt show that also places a premium on practical effects and live actors. When The Bourne Identity was released in theaters in 2002, it heralded a whole new era in action filmmaking, shifting the focus from big, over-the-top set pieces (perhaps most perfectly exemplified by the Matrix trilogy) to smaller, more subtle sequences, with a particular emphasis on practical stunts and handheld, docu-style cinematography (as most effectively seen in Identity’s big car chase).
