Jumper 2 is the sequel to the hit 2008 film Jumper, starring Hayden Christensen and Samuel L. Jackson. Jumpers have the ability to teleport anywhere in the world that they can visualize. They are hunted by an members of a secret organization called Paladins.
[ Why not join our Jumper 2 facebook page? ] Jumper made about $80 million in the U.S. which didn’t cover the $85 million budget, but the international markets brought in another $150 million, so a sequel is possible. Star Hayden Christensen has stated that he would come back, and director Doug Liman said he had a lot of ideas for a sequel, so it may happen. No one is rushing into the sequel, though, so it may be a long wait before Jumper 2. Oh, and Liman thinks it could be a trilogy, so then we have Jumper 3: Jumpin’.
Jumper 2 Script
No details yet, although Liman said that the nature of the powers seen in Jumper might enable off world stories, government assassin stories, and time travel stories. Why not all three? Why isn’t this plot made into a porno by now?
Movie Release Date
Summer 2014 at the earliest, this movie has been delayed a bit due to budget concerns. The good news is Hayden Christensen has nothing better to do but wait, since his movie career has dried up.
Who’s In It?
Hayden Christensen has said he’d come back, and Rachel Bilson and Samuel L. Jackson might also reappear, although at present there is not firm casting. lol, what else does Hayden Christensen have to do?
What’s Good About It?
You know what? I liked Jumper. Yeah. I said it. Credibility destroyed. It had cool special effects, Rachel Bilson is hot, and Jamie Bell did a really good job as the other Jumper. Liman is a talented director, and if a better script is turned in for the second film, I’m gonna like it too.
What’s Bad About It?
Hayden Christensen’s unbelievable charisma turns some viewers off. He just emotes so well. He was so good Star Wars that people just can’t believe he’s anything but Darth Vader. I know I can’t. Wait. Is unbelievable charisma just another way of saying black hole of charisma? No? Oh… This might be why the sequel won’t be good.
Our Clever Prediction
One of the biggest problems with the first Jumper was that it was obviously set up for a sequel. If they dismiss the trilogy idea and just tell a complete story, and Hayden Christensen dies in the first act, then the film could end up awesome. Maybe Rachel Bilson could Jump out of her clothes. Haha. Get it? Jump? Man, cocaine rocks. (Note: I’m not on cocaine, but I believe my mother was while pregnant with me.)

…It’s hard for me to get excited about this movie or the sequel b/c you are right, the original novel is completely different from the movie (SPOILER: There are no other jumpers!), so if there is a sequel to the Jumper movie, it will surely be an even further cry from the original complex and deeply pensive narrative put forth by Gould.
If there is a book sequel to the novelization of the movie, my guess is the movie sequel will follow suit.
Hoping for the best.
SuperDon,
Britismal,
Hayden is a great actor. He makes it look so easy and comfortable and, of course, he has great looks too. I can’t seem to get enough of him. Bring on more…and soon!!!
Welcome to Earth and Hollywood. If there is money to be made there will be a sequel. A prequel showing the evolution of the virus would be extremely boring if for no other reason than we already know the outcome. Plus, that part of the story was covered very quickly in the original movie, probably for that very reason.
However, anybody with a fiber of imagination can conjure up a way to have him survive. Such as … the opening of IAL2 starts with the ending of the first movie, starting at the point where the zombies track him down at his lair, ending with the woman and child at the haven. After that, he wakes up from a dream (ala Dallas – nothing is original) with the zombies breaking in, they and escape, but don’t cover their tracks with alcohol, and are followed to the haven, which, in true Hollywood style, is located near a cave/building/aircraft-hanger/etc. where they can hide during the day.
I’ll go and see it ONLY IF Jamie Bell comes back as Griffin
He’s such a great Character AND he’s SUPER HOT TOO
I liked him better than David because he’s a more interesting character
I’ve got the DVD and i <3 to watch the Jamie Bell scenes ^.^
So yea More Griffin, less David, enough said
If there’s a new movie to Jumper, I’m there! =-) I think it was a great movie and the acting was good too! Yes Hayden Christensen is a great actor, I’ve seen almost all his movies and liked almost all of them and the reason is because he’s a good actor so yes, I’ll see it if I think the plot of the movie is good and if so then if he happens to be in it then hey, that’s a great combo I’d say.
