And both would also be more fitting in the sense that both Keanu Reeves and Tom Cruise both actually do the vast majority of their stunts.John Wick or Mission: Impossible would both be better than Bourne. Certainly from a relevancy standpoint.

Stuntmen are stuntmen. It's about the stunts, not who does them.And both would also be more fitting in the sense that both Keanu Reeves and Tom Cruise both actually do the vast majority of their stunts.
This is all the truth when it comes to the show, but it'll still never make Bourne a good choice for an IP, especially since it already feels dated. But more to my point, since Reeves and Cruise do their own stunts, it could've made for a cooler pre-show video.Stuntmen are stuntmen. It's about the stunts, not who does them.
Bourne is Universal, they will make a unique story and have creative freedom. If they get it right it will be as amazing as Waterworld.This is all the truth when it comes to the show, but it'll still never make Bourne a good choice for an IP, especially since it already feels dated.

I know complaining about the IP choice here is ultra-nitpicky since it's all about the stunts in the end and not the IP, but there's just so many better stunt franchises out there than Bourne that it's just hard to not compare. Hell, F&F would've made for a more exciting IP for a stunt show than Bourne (granted something like that would've need to replace Fear Factor).
I find it a bit funny how this stunt show will be based on a virtually dead IP when we have John Wick out there as such an obvious choice for a stunt show. Sure, not Universal-owned, but who cares. It’s a no-brainer IP for a stunt show.
I heard construction sounds coming from inside through the exit doors 3 out of my last 4 visits. Friday was the first time in recent months where it was quiet inside. Although sometimes it’s real loud with drills and jackhammers, and sometimes only a little noise like moving things around. Point being, sounds to me like there’s been something going on still.So with this being pushed to 2020 I wonder if they will use the time to expand the scope of the attraction a bit and really knock it out of the park.
Does anyone know if work on the attraction is actually ongoing or if they put a stop work order to resume later in the year? This has got to go in the record books as one of the slowest attraction build-times ever undertaken at the resort and it's for a show that is utilizing existing infrastructure.
I guess my question is how it would even be possible to have construction extend for a period of two years on a project like this unless the crew consists entirely of one man with an allen wrench working 30 minute shifts. I'm also curious what the cast and stuntmen that have apparently been rehearsing since mid-2018 will be doing during all of this extra time.I heard construction sounds coming from inside through the exit doors 3 out of my last 4 visits.

We’ve never gotten official word that this show has been bumped to 2020. Still rumor/speculation.I guess my question is how it would even be possible to have construction extend for a period of two years on a project like this unless the crew consists entirely of one man with an allen wrench working 30 minute shifts.

Tell that to the insurance companies who insure the films (Not to mention producers who have heart attacks when a major star says he wants to his own dangerous stunt). Of course, since Cruise is his own producer, he overrides himself... LOLStuntmen are stuntmen. It's about the stunts, not who does them.
And Keanu is good friends with the John Wick director (Chad Stahelski) as he was actually Keanu’s stunt double in The Matrix films.Tell that to the insurance companies who insure the films (Not to mention producers who have heart attacks when a major star says he wants to his own dangerous stunt).

I am not a fan of the Bourne series or the Wick series. I find Bourne Identity to be the lesser version of Ronin, and John Wick as mindless action with great choreography. The numbers seem to show that Bourne is more liked by the public. Bourne made 950 million worldwide with its first movies and John wick is sitting at 435 million currently. The five bourne films made 1.6 billion worldwide. I think Universal was smart to use Bourne as their IP.
Another reason Bourne is a stronger IP.Probably because Bourne is based on a series of popular novels, while Wick is an entirely original creation.
The Bourne films have been doing lesser and lesser numbers with each release though and the Wick films, as people discover the franchise, are doing better and better. Wick also has spinoff films and a TV Series in the works (along with video games) and a sequel to the current film already announced.Another reason Bourne is a stronger IP.
