Bourne Legacy Shooting in Metro Manila

MMDA chairman revealed over the news that the fourth installment of the Hollywood film "Bourne Legacy" will be shot over 8 locations in Metro Manila. The film stars Jeremy Renner as the new CIA agent Aaron Cross, subbing for Matt Damon, who has starred in the first three installments. It will also star A-list celebrities Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton.

According to Chairman Francis Tolentino, the film will be shot in Intramuros, Navotas fishport, Marikina City Market, San Andres Market, R. Magsaysay Blvd, Ayala Avenue, Nagtahan and Pasay-Taft Rotonda. Among these places, Pasay-Taft Rotonda was highlighted to need the biggest facelift. Everyday commuters and motorist would attest to the fact that this area is a cause of headache during rush hour, add to that the fact that it's very crowded. Ironically, this area will be used for a car chase scene. I'm sure it's better to just leave the car and run after the criminals. :)

UPDATE: There are also reports that Bourne Legacy will shoot in Palawan. There will also be a motorcycle chase scene in Jones Bridge and a helicopter scene over Pasig River.
Some online sources cited that Rachel Weisz's husband, Daniel Craig, more known for portraying James Bond, was in town [week of 1/9]

Here are the schedules of the shoot (based on the fact that they will be closed to vehicular traffic):

1. January 11-15: San Andres St.
2. January 14: San Andres cor. Quirino and Taft Ave
3. January 15: Leveriza Street, from Balingkit to San Andres
4. January 18 and 19: J. Bocobo corner Remedios streets
5. January 25: Riverside Road, Real and Sta. Lucia Streets in Intramuros
6. February 5: Jones Bridge
7. February 8-15: Ramon Magsaysay Boulevard
8. February 17 and 18: Riverside Road, Real and Sta. Lucia Streets in Intramuros
