Title: Jumper
Post by: Geekyfanboy on January 28, 2008, 02:55:31 PM
I came across this ad for this movie so I clicked on it and WOW... this looks like a pretty cool movie. I haven't seen any kind of advertising for it.

A genetic anomaly allows a young man to teleport himself anywhere. He discovers this gift has existed for centuries and finds himself in a war that has been raging for thousands of years between "Jumpers" and those who have sworn to kill them.

There are several trailers on you tube...



Here's another one..

The website is pretty amazing.  You have to check out all the stuff on it.  Very interactive.

I had really thought you or someone had posted about this one before.  Guess not.  Previews look great!

I saw a trailer yesterday, but had been following it for awhile. Looking forward to finally seeing a movie with Hayden Christensen which is not Star Wars.

I agree, it looks good. At first it seems like it could be a Heroes storyline or something, "How does a young man deal with finding out that he can teleport? (and how does that affect his ability to date Rachel Bilson?)". But when the other storyline about the secret war and hunting down of teleporters comes in, it makes me think, "This is what makes it a big-screen-worthy story." Can't wait!

Anakin and Mace Windu! ;)

This looks like it could be a fun film.  I'm curious to see how Christiansen does in it.

I wonder if he has the initials "BMF" engraved in the hilt of the "Anti-Jump" weapon he's carrying in this movie ;)

Supposedly he had them engraved in the hilt of his lightsaber....who knows.

I saw this tonight and it was a really enjoyable movie. It is going on my must own list when it hits DVD and hopefully HD-DVD or something.

They covered a lot of material in the first movie and they set it up for the potential of the second and third books.

Also I would recommend that others try to catch this one at the movies if only to raise the box office so that they can make the other two books.

I think you'll like it. I actually forgot that it was Anakin and Mace on the screen and really got into their characters.

I went and saw this today, and really enjoyed it a lot. It amazes me how they were able to do the fight sequences near the end of the movie, that must have taken a lot of coordination and planning at the start. I hope they make another, as this was a lot of fun, and great to see Hayden Christensen and Samuel L Jackson on screen again.
