Jumper (2008)

[Connavar]

There are soo many good tv series now that i watch them more than hollywood movies.

So for once it would be interesting to see a concept like this done well in a movie.

Lets hope its much better than i think

The trailer is here:
Jumper

Anyone read "The Bad Place" by Dean Koontz written more than 10 years ago? Also about a guy who can teleport and a bad man who has the same ability. Very interesting concept. I think if they went with the DK version it would be more horror than SF

It will be interesting to see if the movie is as good as the trasiler. The trailer looks really interesting, but i have to wonder why i haven't I heard anything about this movi before this thread. Is it not being advertised or am I just in the dark?

Actually, you're not in the dark. It's not being advertised very much. I saw one preview in the theaters and then started seeing a few ads on TV, but they're very scant.

I don't know what to think. It might be good, but nowhere near a blockbuster for sure. And yes, I can see Samuel L. Jackson dropping some horrible one-liner that is overhyped on the web. History repeating itself, perhaps?

This also stars the wonderful DIANE LANE (Unfaithful, Judge Dredd).

Re: Jumper movie

I too am looking forward to "JUMPER".

DIANE LANE is a friggin' goddess. She is soooooo beautiful and so talented. I think her role in "JUMPER" is a supporting one, but...

She is the female lead in upcoming films "UNTRACEABLE" (out now in the U.S. and doing well) (out here on Feb 29th), and...

She is the female lead in Tarantino's new movie "KILLSHOT" (out in the U.S. on April 11th). It's based on the Elmore Leonard novel and has Diane Lane being hunted down by Mickey Rourke.

Than she is in "NIGHTS IN RODANTHE" with "UNFAITHFUL" and "COTTON CLUB" co-star Richard Gere (their THIRD film together).

Check out "JUMPER2 on Feb 14th and "UNTRACEABLE" on Feb 29th.

A babe and a great actress!

I hadn't heard of it much either up until a month ago. It could be decent. But you're right, no blockbuster here.

It is over here. I've seen a huge billboard. I don't see the amount of money spent on advertising a film as any indication of its quality though. In fact, it is generally the opposite. I think some studios have a different ethos as regards advertising - Disney always advertise heavily and always have done. It seems to me that advertising films has become much more usual than it used to be. As a child, I don't remember billboards and TV adverts for films. There were no bus shelter adverts anyway. All these are now commonplace.

Totally agreed, she's one of my favourites, and I think one of the most naturally beautiful women in Hollywood.

I noticed it when I went to see I Am Legend and it looked good from the trailers.

I was seriously thinking of seeing this film when it comes out.

 

[Dave]

I saw the trailer again with 'Cloverfield'. I think I will be seeing it though it doesn't look like something that is going to be a Blockbuster. Apparently, there are already plans for two sequels, so they must be hoping for a big hit.

Out of interest - Is Diane Lane playing the part of his mother? In my film guide she isn't mentioned as one of the stars - Hayden Christensen (Davey Rice), Jamie Bell (Griffin), Samuel L Jackson (Roland) and Rachel Bilson as his girlfriend.

He crosses paths with his long-estranged mother once he begins to teleport and meets the livewire Griffin. Since the ability is genetic, I am assuming that his mother plays some bigger part in this and might already be aware of his abilities.

I think the movie is based on the novel "Jumper" by Stephen Gould. It was a decent SF book aimed at the Juvenile market. One of the scenes has the "Jumper" robbing a bank without opening the safe. He also has a serious love interest. It all fits too tightly it must be based on it, or a rip off of it.

Hollywood does do that? Don't they?

They tend to buy the name, and the plot, and then write a much inferior plot of their own.

 

[Majimaune]

A movie with multiple Nightcrawlers, gotta see it. It looks damn good as well.

 

[Rich_SP]

i also reckon this film looks pretty cool, although a good trailer is all to often no indication of the overall film, especially when it comes to blockbusters...
i'll see what kinda reviews it gets, then check it out f theyre good, and I can find a cinema that'll be showing it... bloody somerset

Too True!

Aren't we all being very cynical about a product we haven't yet even seen?

 

[BladeOfFire]

I so want to see Jumpers it has two of my favorite acters. Mace Windu, and Anakin Skywalker
