She’s become more defiant and she’s turned into quite a dissident. She was in hiding when we left her in The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), and in the eight years that have passed since then she’s been running for her life. STILES: Yeah, this time was a turn for Nicky. “In inheriting his estate, she’s discovering the ways that he lied to her and the things he was covering up.”ĮMMA BROWN: Nicky has more to do in this film. In the first episode, husband is murdered,” she continues. “It’s a very glamorous setting, but underneath there’s a lot of corruption and dirty deeds. “Neil’s idea was that behind every great fortune is a great crime, and I play an American married to this billionaire,” she explains. Later this summer, Stiles will move to Nice, France to begin working on a new Neil Jordan miniseries called Riviera. “She launches the whole movie…it was nice to see her not be obedient anymore.” “She’s become quite ideologically driven,” says Stiles. In Jason Bourne, the franchise’s latest installment, out today, Nicky is something of a new woman: determined and mature, she’s no longer just a government pencil pusher. “I remember pausing for a second wondering if I was going to miss too much school, but I quickly ignored that and decided that it would be more fun to go to Prague and Paris.”įourteen years later, Stiles is the only actor except for Damon himself to appear in all four Jason Bourne films. “He wasn’t the obvious choice at the time,” she recalls over the phone. Thanks to roles in teen movies like the pithy comedy 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) and emotional drama Save the Last Dance (2001), she was something of a thinking-teen’s idol at the time.įor a rising star like Stiles, Nicky was not a particularly large part-she was supposed to die at the end of the film and it wasn’t until filming finished that director Doug Liman recut her final scene-but Stiles was intrigued by star Matt Damon. A native New Yorker, Stiles had been acting professionally since she was 11. When Julia Stiles first signed on to play CIA employee Nicky Parsons in The Bourne Identity (2002), she was a college student at Columbia University.
