Summary
The science fiction thriller leaps into a new realm with JUMPER, which begins the epic adventures of a man who discovers that he possesses the exhilarating ability to instantly teleport anywhere in the world he can imagine. From New York to Tokyo, from the ruins of Rome to the heart of the Saharan Desert, anywhere is possible for David Rice (HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN), until he begins to see that his freedom is not total, that he's not alone . . . but part of an ongoing, global war that threatens the very survival of his rare and extraordinary kind. David Rice has grown up with a mysterious power of which many have dreamed. He is completely and utterly mobile, able to zap through wormholes in the space-time fabric to any city, any building, any place at all that his mind desires. In the blink of an eye, he can "jump" from one side of the earth to the other and back again - he can tour twenty different sunsets in one night, he can have breakfast on the Egyptian Sphinx, spend the day surfing in Australia, then pop over to Paris for dinner and enjoy dessert in Japan. He can pass through walls and locked bank safes and enter the most forbidden chambers. So far, he has used his powers to run away from his past, to take advantage of unlimited wealth, to remain fiercely independent. He's never known limits or boundaries or consequences. Or true connection. Until now. But when David discovers another young man like himself, a fiery, globetrotting rebel named Griffin (JAMIE BELL), the truth of his existence begins to dawn. He is not just a lone freak of nature, but part of a long line of genetic anomalies known as Jumpers, none of whom are safe. Now, David has now been identified by the secret organization sworn to kill him and all Jumpers. And he is about to be relentlessly pursued in a chase that will literally bound around the planet - as he becomes a key player in an unseen battle that has been raging, invisible to most of humanity, through the ages. Director Doug Liman, who has developed a reputation for forging visceral, high-style action in such critical and box office hits as The Bourne Identity and Mr. and Mrs. Smith, brings the mythic fantasy of JUMPER to life with a mix of state-of-the art special effects, international intrigue and a savvy twist on a modern-day superhero in the making. JUMPER stars Hayden Christensen (Star Wars Episodes II & III, Shattered Glass), Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot, Flags of Our Fathers), Rachel Bilson (The Last Kiss, television's "The OC"), Samuel L. Jackson (Coach Carter, Snakes on a Plane), Oscar(R) nominee Diane Lane (Unfaithful), Michael Rooker (JFK), AnnaSophia Robb (Bridge to Terabithia), and Max Thieriot (The Pacifier). The screenplay is by David S. Goyer (Batman Begins, Blade), Jim Uhls (Fight Club) and Simon Kinberg (Mr. & Mrs. Smith, X-Men: The Last Stand), based on the novel by Steven Gould. The producers are Arnon Milchan, Lucas Foster, Jay Sanders, and Simon Kinberg. Executive producers are Stacy Maes, Kim Winther, Vince Gerardis and Ralph M. Vicinanza. Heading the creative team who shot around the world in such authentic, as well as unprecedented, locations as Rome's Colosseum are: director of photography Barry Peterson (Dark Blue); production designer Oliver Scholl (Independence Day, Artificial Intelligence: AI); editors Don Zimmerman A.C.E (Night at the Museum), Dean Zimmerman and Saar Klein (The Thin Red Line, The Bourne Identity), costume designer Magali Guidasci (The Professional); and Academy Award(R)-winning visual effects supervisor Joel Hynek (What Dreams May Come, The Matrix).
