Three days ago I posted a riff about Rachel Wiesz looking “extra-double super-fetching” in The Bourne Legacy “because of the black-rimmed glasses she wears now and then in her role as a scientist.” Well, I sat down yesterday with Bourne director-writer Tony Gilroy, and he said that while Weisz may indeed look fetching in glasses, she only wears them in a couple of scenes. My use of the term “now and then” was therefore inaccurate. The explanation, I suppose, is that Weisz’s bespectacled appearance made enough of an impression to distract or disorient as far as the frequency of same.
