Quick Bourne Identity/Supremacy question

Posted on August 30, 2007 | 2 comments |

Is the guy who shoots Conklin (Chris Cooper) at the end of Identity supposed to be the same character as the German Treadstone agent Bourne meets in Supremacy?

Reasons for

  1. Character 2 is described as the only other remaining Treadstone agent. What about character 1 then, unless they're the same person?
  2. They look very similar
  3. They're both based in Germany

Reasons against

  1. They're played by different actors
  2. The characters have different names (at least according to the script; it's not mentioned onscreen)
  3. Character 1 is based in Hamburg, Character 2 in Munich, but Bourne tells him he should have moved

What do you all think? Anyone have wisdom on this score?

Anyway, I'm off to see The Bourne Ultimatum now. I hear it's good.

    I think they are different.. I think the one in Identify is called 'Picot' and the one in Supremacy is 'Jarda'?
    Mind you imdb isn't complete with pics so.... hum

    Ah, but he's not called Jarda in Supremacy - you never hear his name. At least, I had my eyes and ears open all the way through while I was watching Supremacy today and didn't notice it.

    It just makes a lot more sense from the point of view of the narrative, don't you think?

    As for IMDB, it claims Chris Cooper and Brian Cox are in Ultimatum - but they're not! Trust them not.
