MANILA, Philippines — Hollywood stars will arrive in the country this month to film in several locations in the metropolis for the movie “Bourne Legacy,” an official of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said.

MMDA chairman Francis Tolentino said the production outfit of Hollywood film has chosen Binondo, San Andres and Intramuros in Manila, Navotas fish port, EDSA-Pasay-Taft, Marikina Market, R. Magsaysay Blvd, Ayala Avenue, Nagtahan, to shoot their movie scenes.

Tolentino said a long car chase scene is being planned along Taft Avenue in Pasay City.

“The movie will be shown worldwide. Its best that we clean the area first before filming,” said Tolentino.

Since areas will be transformed into a movie sets, Tolentino said he will advise motorists for any road closures, intermittent traffic delays and use of alternate routes for motorists and pedestrians.

The Bourne Legacy is a spy fiction thriller that stars Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz, and Edward Norton.

Meanwhile, the Manila City Government has set guidelines for an international movie company to observe while shooting several scenes the "The Bourne Legacy."

In a letter to the Philippine producer of the “Bourne Legacy,” Nikolo Juban, last Tuesday, Secretary to the Mayor Rafaelito Garayblas said the city has granted their request to temporarily close to vehicular traffic several areas in Manila.

These areas include portions of San Andres St. from January 11 to 15; J. Bocobo corner Remedios streets, January 18 and 19; Leveriza Street, from Balingkit to San Andres, January 15; San Andres corner Quirino and Taft Avenue, January 14); Riverside Road, Real and Sta. Lucia Streets in Intramuros, January 25 and February 17 and 18; Jones Bridge, February 5; and Ramon Magsaysay Boulevard, February 8 to 15.

“Pursuant to your request and upon the favorable recommendation of the Chief, MDTEU PNP, Port Area, Manila, a permit is hereby granted to you to temporarily close to vehicular traffic certain portions [in Manila] . . . for the purpose of holding thereat your shooting activity, subject to following conditions,” said Garayblas in a letter to the producer.

Philippine Film Studios, Inc. reportedly paid just P500 for the permit to shoot in the city.

At least 15 conditions were laid out by the city government in approving the filming of the movie in the city.

Garayblas said that the movie production company should coordinate their activity with the Barangay Chairman and Station Commander of the area concerned before they started shooting the film in the area.

Although the streets will be temporarily closed to vehicular traffic, Garayblas said that street intersections should be made available for the free passage of emergency vehicles, particularly the fire fighting unit.

“The substantial movable barricades with informative sign shall be installed by the requestee at strategic places of the affected area. The city government of Manila reserves the right to order the removal of the barricades if public interest so requires,” he said.

Garayblas stressed the need of the international film production to observe the Anti-Noise and Anti-Littering Ordinances of the City of Manila.

He also said that the company should shoulder the repair of the infrastructures that will be damaged as result of the activity.

"The Bourne Legacy," written and directed by Tony Gilroy, centers on CIA operative Aaron Cross played by Renner. The movie is slated to be released in the United States in the summer of 2012

According to sources, Renner was already in the country since last Saturday and was already billeted at a five-star hotel in Makati City.
