The film’s end fight sequence is between Bourne and the Treadstone Asset who was before him. At the same time, we still had to make it as visceral and visual and violent as possible. (both chuckle) So you also have to take into account that, because Jason Bourne is a little bit older, it’s less about the amount of techniques used but more about the condensation of skill and how more effectively and more efficiently an older Bourne would hit, when he would hit, and how he chooses to fight. We wanted to find a different pathway, but still have the viewer and the aficionado of action films find it exciting to watch.Īnd also, as you said, Matt’s hair is grayer. We wanted to bring all of these elements into play again - not only to embellish things, but also not be too repetitive with the previous Bourne films. In my own background, I started with traditional martial arts and also kickboxing, but I also enjoy Western boxing, Filipino Kali, and dirty boxing. We can’t be taken out of these fight scenes at any moment of the action because a movement doesn’t look or feel right to the viewer. You capture that level of brutality to a T, and since it’s being presented in 4K UltraHD, you also had to make sure the camera doesn’t lie. He’s tried to stay under the radar and hidden for the last 10 years or so since we saw the last Bourne film with him in it. This particular Jason Bourne started off with a note from Paul Greengrass, saying there was going to be more raw, visceral action now that Bourne has been immersed in the world of bare-knuckle underground boxing. That seems like a pretty accurate statement to me. In one of the extras, Matt said one of your goals with the action in this movie was to build the fight scenes like fans of movie fight scenes would like to see them. Roger Yuan: (chuckles) Well, you know, Matt’s always been a very, very hard worker and a very astute student, whether it’s when he’s with his own boxing coach or when he’s with us while we’re doing the fight sequences. It has to be because of what you put him through during his Jason Bourne training sessions. Roger Yuan is ready for the premiere of #JasonBourne /MW9iG3fzQaĭigital Trends: Roger, I think I’ve figured out exactly why Matt Damon’s hair seems to be turning grayer and grayer whenever I see him on talk shows. We got on the horn with Yuan to discuss how he coordinated the film’s most intensely involving fight scenes, how Bourne is the master of found objects, and what his own personal favorite movie action sequences are - one of which we guarantee you’d never guess. He’s been doing the bare-knuckle boxing to make some money - but also to exorcise his own demons. “But he’s actually welcoming it, because it allows him to feel something. “When we see Bourne’s second bare-knuckle boxing fight, he’s taking punishment,” Yuan told Digital Trends. And in Jason Bourne, available now from Universal on 4K UltraHD Blu-ray and other formats, the onetime elite officer played to the hilt of intensity by Matt Damon is involved in some of the most brutal and visceral fight scenes in the entire film series, many of them thanks to the efforts of fight coordinator and martial arts master Roger Yuan ( Skyfall, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon). Jason Bourne has never been a man to take anything put in front of him lightly. “When a fight becomes more personal, it’s less about the technical aspects and more about the visual violence and drama, and the desire for inciting pain and injury to your sworn enemy.”
