“Jumper” trailer: released January 14, 2008
December 9, 2007
It’s Sunday. There’re probably a million things I should be doing—Christmas shopping, for example—but I just had to bring you this new movie trailer. It’s for “Jumper,” a scifi thriller following a 17-year-old who suddenly discovers he can teleport. He soon learns that this gift has been around for centuries, and that there’s a war on to annihilate him and his fellow jumpers.
Teleportation combat? Sweet.
It’s based on the early nineties novel of the same name by Steven Gould. The book’s been out of print for a while now. But for those of you who love to read the book before seeing the film, Amazon’s got a reprint on the way about two weeks before the film premieres.
Looks like the film is a pretty significant departure from the novel, but I think I can forgive them now that I’ve seen this trailer. But don’t take my word for it. Watch the trailer for yourself!
“Jumper” comes out on Valentines Day, 2008.

Is it just me, or do the weapons look a little too light saberish? Samuel Jackson and Rachel Bilson, too tempting to pass up.

I think it looks way cool! I’m excited for it. C’mon these Star Wars actors need a way to break away from Star Wars right.

That does look sweet! And those Star Wars actors really do need a way to break away from the prequels. ::shudder::
