Jumper Sequel In The Works?
This is great news in my opinion. I know Jumper had its flaws, but I really found it one of the most entertaining movies of last year. Nos, Steven Gould, author of “Jumper” , tells io9 that there might be a movie sequel. ”[Director] Doug Liman has expressed a particular interest in an unspecified moment in the sequel Reflex, and I suspect it’s this twinning thing that Davy does, where he’s jumping to a place and back and forth to the point where he’s in both places at once, and a hole opens connecting the two places. So when he’s chained to a wall, he jumps back and forth to the ocean and all this water floods out of the hole. If ever there was a cinematic moment, that’s it. And then there’s this thing from Reflex where you have a very shadow-y Illuminati sort of government agency and they very much want to control jumpers. And that organization showed up in the scripts, but they ended up having to cut it because of budget. So that thread might show up.”
Sounds good. I went out after Jumper and picked up the books and can say that the Jumper story line is definitely made for the big screen. I hope they follow more closely to the books than they did with Jumper. Also, any movie with Rachel Bilson in it should be seen by the masses.
