The premise certainly has a lot of potential and if they improve the execution then it would all be worthwhile in my book. Still, as I said, Jumper has grown on me in the years since it hit cable and I wouldn't be totally opposed to giving the franchise one more chance to prove itself.
Jackson (who played Roland, the film's villain), Jamie Bell (who played a fellow Jumper) and Rachel Bilson (the love interest) the careers of each of these actors have continued to rise, so getting them all to return to a moderately successful franchise ($220 million worldwide on an $85 million production budget) would probably be the first hurdle to jump. Jumper was helmed by Bourne Identity director Doug Liman, so it's going to be interesting to see if he returns to help get the sequel into theaters. So, based on Christensen's words we could assume that Jumper 2 would pick up where the first film left off, pitting an estranged family against one another, but would the two big-name actresses who appeared in the first film return for the sequel? Your guess is as good as mine.
Diane Lane had a nice little cameo as David's mother, and at the end of the film, when David 'ports in to see her one last time, he discovers that he has a half-sister, played by none other than Twilight star Kristen Stewart. During the course of the film, there's a big reveal that the absent mother of Hayden's character, David, is actually a top-ranking Paladin who abandoned him when she realized her child was a Jumper (out of compassion, of course). We're talking about it, trying to figure it out."įor those who aren't familiar with the Jumper mythos, what Hayden is of course referring to is the conflict between "Jumpers" (the teleporters) and "The Paladins," a group of fanatics who hunt and kill Jumpers based on the notion that "only God should have the power to be in all places at all times." It was sort of set up in a way it's gonna be mother hunting son and possibly even maybe sister hunting brother. I think there's a lot you can do with it. "We're talking about it right now actually.Hopefully somewhere a little darker. Speaking of Jumper 2, star of the original, Hayden Christensen, was out making the rounds to promote his upcoming heist film Takers and talked to MTV about the Jumper sequel. After several cable channel viewings, I can say that the film was harmlessly enjoyable and had a great premise - that certain people are born with the ability to teleport - which left a wide range of possibilities for a sequel. Ĭan only imagine Samuel L.Jackson (who played the villain first time around), being such a big of money and nonsense, would have already agreed to it.Jumper is one of the those movies that I feel got an overly bad rap when it was released in theaters back in 2008.
And assumingly, they'd be asked back - while I can imagine Lane would probably be quite happy to do it, since she's not inundated with offers right now, Stewart's star has risen considerably since the original film might take more than a few bucks to entice the "Twilight" star back. Kristen Stewart and Diane Lane played Christensen's on-screen half-sister and mother, respectively, in the original. We're talking about it, trying to figure it out."

Seems FOX's Tom Rothman hasn't given up on the series though (no surprise I guess, considering his two big hopefuls of 2010 - "Percy Jackson" and "The A-Team" performed well below expectations studio needs a franchise - and quick!). where it was to lucky to stay a fortnight. The sequel talk went away once the film - a snooze-worthy science-fiction yarn about a time-traveling wonder-kid, played by Hayden Christensen - hit theaters. Prior to it's release, and therefore the wide-spanned total trounce, 20th Century Fox had let it be known that they hoped "Jumper" be their next big franchise.
