After five movies and a TV show, the Bourne franchise is entering new territory: a live theme park stunt show. That’s right, you can witness the ongoing shenanigans of super-assassin Jason Bourne the way it’s meant to be done; live and in person. The Bourne Stuntacular, a stunt show with the most fun name imaginable, will debut in the spring at Universal Studios Orlando. Unfortunately, Matt Damon is not included.
The Bourne Stuntacular is taking over the building that formerly housed the Terminator 2: 3D show at the park and will, according to a press release, rely on cutting edge technology, a cast of stunt performers, and a story that takes the character of Jason Bourne around the world. “Everything fans have come to expect from the action-packed Bourne film franchise–thrilling chase scenes, punishing fistfights, death-defying leaps and danger at every turn–will happen right in front of guests with live performers, high-tech props and an immense LED screen, making it impossible to discern where the live-action ends and the cinema begins,” the press release reads.
Given Universal’s rich history of theme park stunt shows–from former attractions based on The A-Team and Miami Vice to the current Waterworld: A Live Sea War Spectacular–The Bourne Stuntacular has the opportunity to be a very entertaining experience at the Florida park. After all, if a theme park can figure out how to turn the 1995 movie Waterworld into a long-lasting attraction, surely adapting the Jason Bourne franchise should be easy.
An opening date for The Bourne Stuntacular has not been announced yet, beyond the spring 2020 launch. The TV spin-off of the franchise, Treadstone, airs Tuesdays on USA.
