Jumper 2 Surprise, Surprise
Jumper was made for a sequel; so with not the least bit of surprise I announce the news from an interview collider had with the director. Thanks to moviesonline for the hookup:
The concept for Jumper 2 is definitely a stretch. So much a stretch it feels the director is just hashing ideas more then talking about what the sequel is all about. Collider had an exclusive sit down with the director where he talked about the sequel and spilled the following;
“I actually have a ton of ideas for the sequel because this is whole new arena for me and so my mind was in overdrive the whole time and most of the ideas I came up with we either could tease or just save it for a sequel and so it’s…this power can be used to leave this planet, this power can be used ultimately to go back in time, this power can be used if you go and work for the government you’d be the ultimate Jason Bourne.”
So the sequel hasn’ t been written. but it has been announced, this does not seem like a good sign to me. The first installment was very frustrating, I enjoyed the use of the power and the camaraderie between the two jumpers, but their was not enough background info, the twists were lame and the story overall was a “boy chases girl” pile of bullshit. The above ideas that director throws around sound like the result of a killer hash session (we have all been there).
If they didn’t introduce so many lame tie ins from the first film i may have given the sequel a chance. As it stands right now, I have about the same desire to see Hayden Christensen in jumper 2 as I would Star Wars 7. I wish this franchise would teleport far away from earth, forever.
After watching Jumper, one of the first things a friend of mine said was “now that was a movie that was badly affected by the writers strike”.
I couldn’t have agreed more. The film could have been great, or at least more fun if a couple more rewrites were made, and a lot of dialogue polished a little more.
Throughout the film, I couldn’t help but get the impression that a lot of the scenes and dialogue between the characters seemed to be almost improvised. Hopefully, a sequel would allow the concept to be presented in a much more satisfying package. Though personally, I am not a fan of incorporating time travel. Although give me a flashback to medieval times any day.
Travel back in time? What’s next, “we can jump into our DREAMS?”
I’m testing. It would seem my comments don’t like showing up after I post them.
Ok, it works now. For some reason it won’t post my comments when I have my Website link put in.
Anyway, as I said I must be one of the few that enjoyed this movie. It entertained me for its run length and temporarily made me forget my troubles, and really, isn’t that what movies are supposed to do?
Although I also knew nothing at all going into the movie. My friend asked if I wanted to see Jumper and I was like ‘What’s that?’ and she was like ‘A movie with Samuel L. Jackson in it. Sci-fiish’ I just shrugged, said ok, and ended up enjoying myself.
i love this movie i dont care wat ne1 else says but this movie must be 1 of my favourites ive seen in a long time(2nd cloverfield) i rly wish they will bring out a sequel
@ Slushie Man and T |-| 3 P \/\/ |\| 3 R
Did you really like this movie? I absolutly hated it. It seemed to me just boring and cliche
ya i liked it, i liked it a lot,but i agree of some of what you said, it is boring at parts. still a great movie if you ask me and i cant wait for the next
Yeah, I did enjoy it. I didn’t love it, but I enjoyed it. It had mistakes and faults, sure, but I’m able to overlook them and still enjoy myself.
Also, does anyone know why my posts won’t show up, if I have my website put down?
JUMPER 2: JUMP 2 THE STREETS!
‘The Stars My Destination’.
I’m just sayin’…
TEST
i guess i’ll have to wait to watch this on dvd
JUMPER 2: JUMP EVEN HIGHER!
Jumper 2 – How high? Yeah there’s room for a sequel. I agree with John or was it Doug? – who said that they should concentrate on the battle/mystery/explanation between the Palladins and the Jumpers.
JUMPER 2: ELECTRIC JUMPALOO!
why does he need to come up with a story in the first place?
there were two books by Steven Gould the movie is based on.
just adapt the second book. Then after that if they want a trilogy go from where the second one end or hints to. or ask Steven Gould it his world, i’m sure he could come up with a story.
I didn’t get this movie. Ok, so the reason why Sam Jackson et al wanted the “jumpers” dead was because “only God should have the power to be all places” (or whatever he said). Ok . . . so then shouldn’t only God have the right/power to kill people? I’m just saying . . . . Needless to say, I won’t be going to see the sequel.
thats the point of religous fanatics, they are stubborn and think they can do gods bidding
JUMPER 2: THE RETURN OF THE CARDIGAN
“so the reason why Sam Jackson et al wanted the “jumpers” dead was because “only God should have the power to be all places” (or whatever he said). Ok . . . so then shouldn’t only God have the right/power to kill people?”
Welcome to the Witch Trials of old. Religious nuts that would kill anyone they thought of as a witch, all in the name of God.
“just adapt the second book.”
As a fan of the first book, the second book SUCKS horribly. One of the worst books I ever read. Plus, the movie’s mythology makes it really hard to adapt the second book.
And for the ones who havent see JUMPER 1 or would like to see it agaon heres the link – Enjoy!

The movie was a fine bit of escapism. The director did leave lots of space for an obvious sequel. Roland’s (Samuel L. Jackson)status is unresolved as is Griffin (Jamie Bell), the more mentor jumper. One other huge clue that a sequel is coming is that Kristen Stewart (from Zathura, Panic Room, The Messengers) is way too big of an actor to only get a mere 30 seconds at the end of the film. I hope they do a better job of filling in the plot holes in the sequel.
Всем привет , товарищи интернационалисты ))))
А мне фильм понравился , но без второй серии не обойтись )))))
So , I’m waiting for Jumper 2
JUMPER 2: POGO STICK

Well what happened to ppl?? why can’t ppl like movies anymore you always complain about everything bla bla this bla bla that.
“Not enough special effect’s” etc .. you prolly understand what i mean.
Jumper 2: Jump to Australia
Jumper 2: Jump to Australia
Or is it too far to jump?
Jump to infinity and beyond
I’m kind of surprised by all of the negative comments posted here. I guess you guys had pretty high expectations for this movie. You’d probably have been better off without any, like most people who watched this movie.
Jumper is a decent movie. Certainly worth renting. I’d rent the sequel.
Yeah, I enjoyed it as well. Nothing really special, but it was entertaining enough for it’s run length. Nothing I’d ever buy, but I’ll probably watch it again if I ever catch it on TV, and I have no problems at all checking out the sequel when/if it comes out.
je trouve ce film super bien il es trés bien fait ,merveilleux je vous félicite pour ce film qui es extraordinaire jespére qu’il y aura une suite merveilleuse jespére que Milie et David seron marié voila .
Jumper 2: Jump With Nightcrawler
Jumper 2 : The Hunt
or
Jumpers :The Jump Never Stop
Jumper 2: The Revolution
Jumper 2: Jumping Straight to DVD
I enjoyed Jumper and am interested to see where the sequel is going to go but as many have stated, I hope they steer clear of time travel, working for a government agency or for that matter, Millie getting powers. All of these take away from the intriguing qualities the first film had. And if everyone just starts having the ability to Jump it’s no fun anymore.
If I had a vote I’d build on the “buddy” thing and have the other Jumper start off as a new nemesis of sorts for David but save him in the end of a battle with Sam Jackson.. but then with the character regaining nobility the writers would no doubt kill him off quickly Harry Osbourne Style no doubt killing off Jackson in the process to wrap that up neatly. If they didn’t however they could build on that further and perhaps culminate in a Jumper vs. Jumper showdown with Rice Bowl coming to his Mom’s aid and once again carving a wedge between the other Jumper whose name has escaped me and David. Also the Mother character is a weak spot for David so hopefully Sam Jackson’s character will be written with a brain in the next movie and he will realize this. Of course that’s about 25 mins of a movie so insert some cool locations and expand on the half-sister then maybe have David have to “woo” Millie all over again introducing a new “normal” love interest to rival David as well. You could just write in some sort of back story that leaves their relationship up in the air before the second movie begins. Build on the Mythology… OH and have David save some people, or do something Hero-esque and there we go, a Jumper Sequel with out time travel or espionage or everybody in the primary cast being a jumper.
Also cool points I’d like to see the sequel build on:
- a significance to the knife Roland uses to kill the jumpers?
- Why does Roland think all jumpers go bad? Did Anakin steal his purple light saber?
- The Childhood Bully/Drunk/Jail Bird a future Palladin?
- Millie’s (hypathetical) new love interest a Palladin?
- A Jumper trap, a cage that Jumpers can’t jump out of… something else now that the electric charge is proving useless against David.
It would be better if they left the word “Jumper” out of the next film’s title. It always screams to me: “we couldn’t even make a decent attempt with the title, so are you really expecting that much quality-wise?”
I hope that this reads okay and I hope a writer for the movie sees this and takes some of it to heart…
cheers.

Has no one noticed that his MOM got to the police station ahead of the hit squad, or that Davids half sister also had those stressed looking eyes?
I think that his mom, the Paladin, is secretly a JUMPER too. Maybe the sister too, but being educated by mom to use it only for good. That should be explored in the sequel…
I liked Mozzerinos first quote
JUMPER 2: JUMP 2 THE STREETS!
HAHA funny shit
(Type your comment here. Make sure you’ve read the commenting rules before doing so)
GOD PLEASE NO MORE JUMPERS the first was HORRIBLE I have talked to many people and none have liked it hell not even Gould himself after writing Griffin’s story liked the idea when he uses the work MUTATED VERSION. Please that says plenty..Also add that Bilson who made the Millie’s character horrid she can’t act her way out of paper bag she makes Jessica Simpson look like she is a Harvard Scholar. So PLEASE no more jumpers..
Jumper: The Bitch Rachel is GOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!
Oh F@CKING NO WAY!!! No more Jumper’s! The first one was bad enough! I seen enough of the trailer’s and Rachel Bilson’s acting was atrocious! Either replace Bilson or forget it! No more JUMPER’S! Please spare us! :roll: :D
(Type your comment here. Make sure you’ve read the commenting rules before doing so)
Totally agree here paureen and you can’t say the strike was the reason on a bad script the movie was written long before the strike happend it actual was filming back in early 06 the script was done before they went into production..It took almost 18 month for the movie to be made mainly because they stopped and started with new actors to replace good one..seems the people who had SUB parts in the movie like Anna Sophia Robb and Kristen Stewart went on to do leading parts in other movies this year..Again poor judgement on Liman’s part to totally change the script and if they choose another they aren’t following the book anyway so who cares what reflex read (and I read that book 3 times it was a bit boring and stupid) so MILLIE can die off they did it to bourn’s wife they can get rid of Bilson anytime..to me there is no use for her and her damsel in distress role anyway..
jumper is a good movie. all you people who say it’s bad.. all i say is jason bourne 2 and 2, pirates of the carribean 3, speed racer, horton hears who.. these are bad movies. jumper is good and cool. you suckers
jumper is a good movie. all you people who say it’s bad.. all i say is jason bourne 2 and 3, pirates of the carribean 3, speed racer, horton hears who.. these are bad movies. jumper is good and cool. you suckers
READ THE BOOK….
i began reading the book a year and a half ago but for some reasons i couldnt finish it, when i saw the trailer i was like, i know that book, and i started reading it again after i watched the movie, the movie is very loosely based on the book and it bugs me, its like they took/stole the teleportation idea but taht’s it, his mom is no pali someting i dont know how its written but those jumper catchers lol, anywho, the movie was bad in a way it lost the feeling of the book, they tried tomake it too commercial and teh monologues, dialogues and acting were kinda crappy
JUMPER TWO – JUMP THESE NUTS!
(Type your comment here. Make sure you’ve read the commenting rules before doing so)
man so happy they make more of it was really hoping for a tv serie of this loved the movie and when i mean loved it i mean it saw it over 20 times by now and i got more than 4000+ movies, but this one is just it
awesome movie…do another one….i will be up for it.
In the next movie night crawler should appear
I gotta say I loved the movie it had a hint of Highlander about it. I thought the action and how the jump scenes were edited was awesome. I really enjoyed the movie and cannot wait for a sequel to be made and Hayden has to be the lead for me to follow…
I think a great sequel idea would be for David to seek out other Jumpers, try to get to the origins of the power, to discover where it came from and how he got it!!
Also figure out where his mom fits in, and how she came to be in the position shes in!
And one last thing…we never did find out if his dad died or not! He must have been alive when David found him, why else would he have jumped them to the hosipital yelling for help!
There Should Definitaly be a jumper 2 alot of ppl are cussing it but i found it to be exciting and a mind buster GO JUMPER 2 GO JUMPER 2
everyone has there own opnion, and Jumper is awsome there should be a second n third make like a war scene amd try n find more palydins and jumpers.
Hail Jumper 2
I loved the concept of the movie, wormholes etc…. the acting was a bit of a let down. Especially between anakin and the girl.
Maybe a TV series spin off would be the way to go….
i think it was a kwl movie a enjoy things like powers and stuff a mean it wasnt as bad as x-men 3 which was the worst ever a mean who in the right mind kills xavier a mean come on lol a mean ye in a way x-men 3 was gd bt it was like the writters just gave up after 10 mins a writen it lol why am a talkin about x-men 3 when every1 else is talkin about jumper lol definietly bring a jumper 2 it would be nice 2 see it
I thought the whole premise behind jumping was that you had to have been to a place before or be able to see it (like the tree on the other side of the park) to jump there? If that’s the case then the only jumping they could do time-wise is into their own past and if they did that they might seriously screw everything up. Luckily Doug Liman seems to be one of those people who continuously change script ideas so hopefully it gets better (Jamie Bell made a comment on one of the extras that he was currently in Jumper 12). If not, I’ll just hope Jamie Bell’s in it as Griffin as both the actor and the character made the film way better then it would have been without them.
2nd movie? After watching Jumper – my thought was a great pilot lead into a television series.
The series would allow further character development, a ‘lingering’ storyline, expanse of the paladins (directly his mother) relationship, introduction of other Jumpers (we already have Griffin [continuing character?])…
So a 2nd movie, rather not see that – but a continuing tv series, now that is another story.
I found the first movie to be entertaining (although I am a sucker for super hero movies). I would be interested in a second movie, as long as they don’t go with these stupid back in time/leave the planet crap. Too cliche and cheesy. Definitely a war scene, possibly a romantic sex scene (who wouldn’t want to see anakin skywalker having sex with that one chick from the OC?), and definitely explain more about the history between the jumpers and paladins.
Im surprised i didn’t love the movie(i “liked” it) but i didn’t hate it like most of you people. I wish it was longer or explained some more; another thing that would have made the film better would have been if Griffins’ character was allowed more screen time but (i could see why Doug refrained from that though) he kind of took attention away from the protogonists, and made David seem frail and uninteresting……….
But whatever i would be up for a second granted they put more story in it this time……….
I like this movie. Yes there was a lot of room in it to play around and explain a bit more. Yes they left it wide open for a sequel not as wide open as some (Eragon anyone?) However, The basic concept behind the movie is good. It is a bit on the whole good vs. evil but then again what isn’t these days. The dialogue may not have been the best but it was far from crappy. Just because people watch dawson’s creek or some oher stupid “Hey look at my large vocabulary” bs, doesn’t make it crappy. As far as the damsel in distress, name me a movie with a superhero where there isn’t one and I will show you a movie that sucked.
I agree that taking the sequel into time travel / space travel would be a hard trick to pull off and make it enjoyable. Working for the CIA would be a little more tolerable but all the still make it feel like a cookie cutter movie.
His girlfriend gaining the ability might be ok if done right. We didn’t see any female jumpers in the first one so who knows. What would betty be like if she gained the hulks ability? That’s one woman’s period I would not want to be around for.
Overall, the movie has a decent flow, good fx’s and a hell of an idea behind it. A sequel, if done right, could be a much bigger hit than the first.
I have not read the books but plan to read the first on since everyone says the movie went on a different set of tracks so to speak.
For those of you who insist on bashing movies just because you think people actually value your opions. First, learn to spell. Second, learn proper grammer. Last but not least, Just because the movie is not Michael Moore certified, don’t be afraid to admit you liked it.
Alright, So The Movie Wasnt Perfect, But I Liked It. I Know Tons Of People Who Liked It. You People Saying You Hate It Are Looking Too Much Into Details, For God Sakes, IT’S A MOVIE! Just Go Along With It And Dont Be So Harsh Like “It Sucked” Or “It Was The Worst Movie Ever”. Saying You Didnt Like It Is Fine, But Jeez Dont Critisise It To No End! I Liked This Movie Alot, And WILL Be Watching The Sequal.
I think the first movie was awesome. I think it set up for a second movie perfectly. it gave you enough information to get interested in the movie and ready to see the second one. with everything that went on in the movie there is hundreds of different ways they could set up the second movie. I think it will be a really good movie as long as they do not move to many new things in to the story line they need to finish up the first movie first, or explain it from before Rice boy became a jumper
(Type your comment here. Make sure you’ve read the commenting rules before doing so)thought it was a great movie. would like to see you do a movie about the jumper origins.and how the fight with the palidens started
I thought the movie was phenomenal best movie i saw in a very long time. Its a super power movie where the first thing the guys does is NOT save the world. Thats great and very real, if you had a super power like that honestly how many of you would say “now i must save the planet from evil”. I would be like ok rob a bank and that sweet car, now lets go to Egypt. Lol i cannot wait for the 2 sequels after this!
so unfortunate that sam jackson put his name on this trainwreck, he’s the only one in this movie with some talent. granted he’s put his name on some odd stuff in the past but this was almost gigli bad. worst use of downloadable bandwidth ever!
how about jumping into oncomming traffic and dying douche kabab!
a think pepo shud stop bein critics cuz when u tawk to wan a ur pals n say hey a saw jumper its crap dnt c it the person is den nt gunna c it if u have an opinion about the movie just say it just dont tell pepo nt to watch it cuz then pepo copy cat n say it to every1 else
Ok. Heres what i think. Im twelve years old. I seriously loved this movie. I think that the whole idea of jumping through time is really stupid. Heres some things I would like to know that they should put in the next movie;
- How do you get jumper powers? Do you inherit them?(If so, is davids mother [or even father?!?!?] a jumper?!?!?)
- Will Griffen come back to kill David?
- Why does griffen has most pictures of roland, and DAVIDS MOM on the wall? (Does she have anything special about her?? [*gasp* maybe she was the one who killed his parents])
- Whats with the knife that roland uses to kill jumpers?
- Who is this guy “Highlander” that people talk about???
- Will Davids mother really try to kill him?
- How do you become a pallidin?
- Why does roland hate jumpers? (Did they do something to him?)
- What about that jumper that roland killed in the forest? (He was in that animation thing on the special features.
- Whose the other blonde headed guy with the knife? in the animation thing in the special features. [Oh and Whos the pallidin in the lab?])
- Also, Why do the jumpers try to kill (and, DO kill) David in the animation special feature thing?
- What happened to Davids dad? Is he alive?
- Whats all this crap about Millie getting powers? If shes a jumper I will get so pissed…
Well i hope the producer stops changing his mind about the second movie and answers my questions.

iF i WANT REAL LIFE ALL A HAVE TO DO IS GO TO WORK!
OH WAIT I DO. CANT WAIT TO SEE THE NEXT ONE BATCHZ!
@ Joe I totally agree with ur comments.. Mayb Davids mom did kill Griffins parents. & Millie better not get Jumpers abilities, I’d be highly upset!! But u made sum interesting points that would make for a great sequel!! Good shit mane!
HEY “KIDS”, it’s a movie. Some people like red, some people like blue, but you DON”t GET postal over an opinion of a movie.
I’m 56 and liked the movie. I had to watch it a couple times because of the film leaving you with so many questions; hence, a sequel you idiots.
Dont’ believe all you hear and know that there are many people who will “love” a film while others don’t………..being different is a good thing.
I hope they do make a sequel and address the Mom, Griffin, Roland, the father’s fate, etc.
It’s a move and good entertainment.
(Type your comment here. Make sure you’ve read the commenting rules before doing so)
I just wanted to point out to those who have been badmouthing the movie, which I personally loved, that I think the mistake you are making is to try and think of action movies as art.
They are -not- art, they are multimedia extravaganzas offered for the viewing enjoyment and excitement of the public. In that, this movie succeeded admirably, with almost $300mil worldwide in box office and DVD sales.
As a fan of the genre, who takes it for what it is, I would like to suggest that those seeking “quality artistic offerings” or any other such thing, should watch the Sundance Film Festival and save their $10 for independent endeavors designed for that purpose.
Just my $.02.
to joe lmao ye ur points were intresting and wud be great to see in the 2nd movie bt HIGHLANDER is a movie if u saw highlander 1st then watchd jumper you get the same idea its nt a person its a movie lol
I didn’t pay a lot of attention to this movie when the trailers first hit. I’m not a huge fan of Hayden’s acting and Rachel didn’t strike me as a strong actress either.
But with that, I thought this moive was great! Seriously expected a complete flop, but it completely surprised me. Exceptional film, no. Lots of fun, hell ya! Very cool premise, acting wasn’t over the top, and a very simple story.
They could easily do a couple more films with this, careful not to go the way of the Matrix. Loved the first film, got lost and bored for the rest of that ride. To me that trilogy went under and did the first no justice.
They need to keep away from the time travel and focus on David using his power to stop the Paladins/stopping Roland, freeing his Mother from her comprimise as the mother of a jumper and being a Paladin.
Jumper 2 ~ Roland trying to go after Mom and family. David & Family stopping Roland. Yay! KEEP IT SIMPLE.
As a side note I’m a super-hero fan, so to me David should realize his powers can be used to help other’s than himself. They drew you to his character when he was learning about and abusing what he had. Roland has the right to stop them from doing wrong, not to kill them. That should be David’s drive in stopping Roland and changing his character in Jumper 2.
Hey sure there were some faults but i think the overall movie was great. It had a great plot and an ending that leaves you wanting more. And finally they take the super powers idea from an average persons perspective. Wouldn’t your personal needs come first before you decided to save the world? I say do a sequel and if its good go from there. Keep the same cast and dont give Millie powers! You dont see MJ turn in to spidergirl or Lois LAne become Superwoman. Keep it simple. Go Jumper 2!!
Jumper 2: Might As Well Jump
Jumper 2: Get Off Your Seat And Jump Around
:D.. stupid..
anyhow… great movie … great story.. great effects.. 9/10.
sequel would be great too.. if.. it had the same idea.. different places .. different people.. different goals.! thats it! i regret not watching it in cinema!
*BAMF*
Okay, who here is actually involved with making movies…? i would guess maybe one or two of you. shame on you for crit a movie when you know nothing about film. you dislike it because you had an expectation and the movie didn’t reach it, so instead of saying oh okay i didn’t expect that you bash it saying its a bad movie when in-fact it had all major parts a movie needs to have and it followed a plot (does anyone remember high school english class) yeah plot. I’m a film maker i know how these things work. don’t crit a movie or an actor let me see you make a better one, or act better in one. if anyone takes my challenge let me know. otherwise give FEEDBACK not criticism.
otherwise the movie was good. i would like to know more background information on the jumping side and paliden side.
No one needs to make a film to call one a bag of shit.
The best way to see a movie is to have no expectations whatsoever. I had no idea what this movie was about when I rented it, but only from what I saw on the back of the case. I find myself in the category of one who really enjoyed the movie, since it was an old concept done in a very unique fashion. I also agree that there were quite a few things that could have been done differently (not sure there isn’t one yet). My personal opinion, which isn’t worth much, is that it would have been nice to have gotten a bit more background on who David was and why he decided to leave home. The book explains this quite clearly, but I only knew that after I watched the movie. I understood he disliked his dad, but nothing major really took place. I also thought the paladins were a great idea, since they were quite a bit more effective at locating and capturing jumpers, unlike the everyday law enforcement, and government agencies. I thought it was good conflict for the story. So I am looking forward to a sequal that might explain more about the paladins and how their organization is so widlely funded and operated. I thought the actors did a great job, but take my word for what you will. Hopefully Griffen shows up in the sequal, since his character is quite involved, yet we know little about him.
The best for the time is … to jump in 5 years old and he looking for mother and father.. the mother was and is a jumper
Hy, my personal opinion is that the movie is the best movie i so in 2 years,but i am disapointed that the ending is so fast and widout a presentation to “JUMPER 2″ but i’m waiting with all my heart to se that movie even in 2011. Good job to all ho work at this movie and keep up the good work. Bogdan from Romania!
I was really impressed by the trailer for this film last year and greatly anticipated it’s release but felt let down by the weak storyline, lack of depth, plot holes and the annoying love story. This film had such potential. Plus Hayden can’t act to save his life, how does he keep landing leading roles…. Jamie Bell was the saving grace of this film and the only character that you could believe in. I would like to see a prequel to Jumper telling Griffins story and how he learnt his power and found out about paladins and decided to fight them, in the scene where Griffin and Rice are inthe car driving through Tokyo Griffin says he “knew a jumper once” would be cool if there was once a team of jumpers who found each other and fought against the Paladins and Griffin is the only one left alive now, hence his unwillingness to help Rice in the original movie….. just my 2penny worth
i love the movie btu what happens to the couple and the jumpers and the palitions absolutly needs a sequal
LOVE THIS MOVIE!
I rlly cannot for the sequel. Diane Lane and Kristen Stewart I hope get much bigger roles in the second film. I do not like the idea of time travel/space travel its just to cliche.
i think it wa good theis is how it needs to go
14 yeras later they have a kd the kid can jump but parents dont know then hee tells them and dahdah and the rolaen comes bac cuz he follow kids trail he catches them for prisoner cuz he wants the kid the kid finds the irish dude and makes a army of jumpers then they catch them fight and then davy moms puts and end to it and the have a treaty and its over that is how it needs to go
The film is a real mess, the director must have done most of the work in the bathroom, or maybe while he was running to one, everything just happens to quick… and he must have used most of the script to wipe his rear end… liked the concept though … it has potential … they just need to put a little more heart in the sequel … if they announce it to 2011, they have enough time to prepare for the real thing.. I hate to see good ideas go to waste
I am one of the few that liked “Jumper”! I thought it was a really good concept…but i agree with the people who are sayin there wasn’t enough to it! No background info on the Jumpers or the Palaidens, or where they or the power came from, or the real reason behind the war between the two kinds! So i hope the sequel will have a little more info on these subjects! Either way, i will see it!
I absolutely loved this movie. It isn’t the BEST I’ve ever seen, but still a kick *ss movie. i do believe they need to put a little more thought into the plot. i am waiting (very impatiently I might add) for JUMPER 2
actually i like the movie.. coz you can feel the power…its all unvalibable
I actually kind of liked the movie… Jamie Bell’s character, Griffin, made the movie worth watching. : )
Ok, i’ve changed my mind… it wasn’t the greatest, but, I REALLY liked the movie!!!
I love ADZ’s idea…
The movie Jumper has a great concept but needs a solid story line as a background. I hope the sequel comes soon!!!
JUMPER 2: THE HOP
Jumper had potention, but it was ruined by too many cooks in the kitchen. We need a good writer or two to give a solid story that takes us further into the Jumper’s history, struggle, lives, etc. and gives them some type of purpose. I know this is an action movie, but give us something to find interesting and worth caring about, besides following a girl and finding mommy. Also, Doug Liman has a history of crazy filmmaking experiences. Either he needs to loosen up and trust the team he is with, or leave. Swingers was a classic, Go was forgetable, Bourne Identity was the shit, Mrand Mrs Smith was pure luck, and Jumper was a jump back in success. Time to get your act together Mr Liman.
I agree with most of the critiques on this website Jumper needs to definitely have a film written by one person and after the writer’s strike. Haha, I also believe that the sequel should definitely be a redeemer film for Jumper. Too little background info and I think the boy chases girl theme was stupid. Its always a girl who seems to cause trouble in a guys life you get stuck on them then they do nothing but cause problems. So Yes to J2. Redeem yourself please.
i just want them to make it
Just watched Jumper on HBO.
It felt very much like a casualty of the writer’s strike. Interesting premise. Cool special effects. Very weak script. There were entirely too many questions left unanswered to qualify it as a strong origin film.
Honestly, I’d almost like to see a do-over. Like was done with The Incredible Hulk.
Jumper could be a compelling franchise. But it hasn’t yet had the strong start it deserves. Maybe the sequel will be better written. I certainly hope so.
I’m actually really suprised by all the negative comments. I fell in love with it so much that i ended up seeing 3 times (one right after the other). I loved the mentor jumper and his mean remarks. My favorite scenes are of hime and Haydens facial expressions were priceless. It is now my favorite movie of all time and i am in desperate need of a sequel!!! So please don’t *negatize this movie i think it was great!
People who complain about Jumper for whatever reasons should pull the stick out of their a$$ and just have fun. I just finished watching Jumper. I had fun. If you cant appreciate seeing a double decker bus being TPed from a city in the middle of the desert, you better check your pulse. Can’t stand lame critics. No one gives a damn about your 2 bit pompous nitpicking BS.
jumper 2 should be made, the first one was really good value
JUMPER 2 : FORCE OF DEFENCE or somethin like that
jumper is 1 of the most coolest movies I’ve seen every one who says this movie is a piece of shit don’t know what there talking about or haven’t seen it so they just make up stuff.
I would pay twice as much to see a sequel to jumper.
P.S. Thanks to the director of jumper.
I just hope kirsten stewart is in it and gets a bigger part, I just loved her in ‘Into the Wild’.
It would be wiked sweet if jumper 2 actully came to be!
I’d Go see it sas my friend
prase the Director
Jumper is a fantastic piece of American theater…the greatest performance by the underrated Hayden Christensen…and the greatest movie of all time
Jumper 2: Jump on this!
Jumper 2: The Rise of the Lycans
Jumper 2: The Rise of the Lycans
hahahaha
the movie jumper was cool but it could have been better.
I hope the sequel gives more of a background story about jumpers and the pilots or padlide or whatever the fuck their name is. also it would b a good twist if u bring back Kristen Stewart, and she become a jumper too.
Great actors great affects i seen the several times. can’t wait for the second
Jumper 2: The Return of the Jumperman
Somehow I love this movie. Realy.
No idea why, cause the background history (what history?) is kinda silly.
But I think the director didn’t want to concentrate on the history, I think that the focus of this film is the power (teletransportation) itself.
I can’t wait for the squel, and I hope a better explanation for the battle between the Jumpers and the Paladins.
i think that jumper was 1 of the best films ive ever seen and am looking forward to a seqeul hope it can live up to the first one and hurry up and get here just pray they dont spoil it lol
JUMPER2 : OFF A BRIDGE
JUMPER 2: JUMP EVEN HIGHER!
i cant wait for the 2nd one
Drop the Time travel story.. And focus on stopping the Paladins… It’s supposed to be about war with Jumpers and Paladins.. Changing the story is stupid..
The sequel should have Jumpers forming a Rebellion.. And waging war with with many Paladins.. And it should retain the chaotic battles around the planet.. “Leaving the planet” plot will fuck up the franchise!!
And for Fuck’s sake, NO PREQUELS!!!
Whatchoo talkin’ ’bout? It’s not like Christenson’s been in any bad prequel movies…
I think people should stop making stupid titles for the sequel. The only good one was “Jumper: Jumping Straight to DVD”. Other ones are just plain stupid. Also, Jumper was a pretty good movie. A sequel would probably do pretty well, if the writers do some improvements on the script. Overall it’s a really cool idea and should be expanded on.
Jumper 2 sounds like a real laugh to me. I mean there was no doubt in my mind they were going to make a sequel. Now the only way would see the sequel is if that girl were to get bigger breast. And show her with out any clothes on.
I dont get it, if you people think the movie was that bad why are you on the internet searching for it? I absolutely loved the movie and can’t wait for a sequel. That would be an awesome power to have and besides it took place in my home town.
I loved this movie so much. But it seemed a tad short. Can’t wait for a sequal!
this movie was cool but so many things was missing from the story but the effects was danm cool same with the sounds :) i hope Nr 2 will have abit more story in it and the same Cool stuff and actors from nr 1 .. think many Sequals Really sucks but time will tell if this is yet a offspin crap or a build on :) hoping for the Build on but think to many AM movies shtts up sequals .. sadly but hey Lets hope nr 2 will be even better then nr 1 move :D but small chance for this i know but DANM i hope :)
Jumper 2: Jumper vs Highlander – Hayden Christiansen and Christopher Lambert make the first unintentionally silent movie.
PLOT: The jumper (Christiansen) jumps in circles around the Highlander (Lambert) thinking he’ll cause the Highlander to turn himself into sushi with his sword, but the Highlander jumps into the wormhole and severs both their heads instaneuously and the Highlander and the Jumper end up back in Scotland in the mid 1500’s and die during an eclipse.
Special appearances by Ewan Mcgregor, Billy Connoly, Alan Cumming, and Gerard Butler reprising his Leonidas role from 300 for no apparent reason, but rumor has it Jumper 3 will include jumping back in time and reincarnation.
Yeah all you guys who want more storyline will see it turn out to be like the first hour or so from the peter jackson King Kong remake; it will be totally going off the movie’s subject. I had problems with the storyline but the effects and the idea of jumping kept me going. Yeah it could use some fixes and Hayden Christensen could use some more acting, but I will probably still see the sequel if it ever comes on HBO. Jumper 2: White Men Can’t Jump
this topic has been discussed for over a year now… so will there be a JUMPER or not?
i’ve not heard anything for ages now, maybe they gave up on it.
if they do make a new jumper i think it should be a prequel and give the plot holes some filling in.
I think jumper 2 is a great idea, number 1 was a great movie and ive watched it twice and it still apeals to me even so i jumped onto the web and looked to see if there was gonna be a second one. i guess everyone has there own opinion and thats mine. i have many great ideas where #2 could go without destroying it and wish i could share those ideas with the director.
hayden is a good actor and he was great in this movie just like starwars and he has many more yrs to come to get better and i dont no why people have to think they have to make a prequal to understand the story line and u dont. maybe his mother can get more involved with the chase and she has flashbacks of when he first jumped and she had to leave? u see no prequal to understand and doesnt’ have to be the first hour to make people understand!
Jumper II ….ya might want to do a prequel to fill in the gaps.
i really enjoyed the first one i think that there should be a second one because things havent really cleared up between griffin and david i mean does griffin know that davids mom killed his parents? and hayden is a REALLY good actor. maybe the second one could be about um whats her name…err the girl that david was with i forgot her name haha well um i think it should be about what happens between them and what happens with david and his mother…jus saying a sequal would help alot
