Samuel L. Jackson drops the snakes and starts chasing teleporting teens in Doug Liman's JUMPER!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Now I know this flick can sound like a Nickelodeon Movie special, but it seems to be taking a fantastic element, like the ability to teleport, and placing it in a darker movie. The flick, JUMPER, will be directed by Doug Liman (BOURNE IDENTITY, GO, MR. AND MRS. SMITH) and star Samuel L. Jackson as an NSA agent tracking a kid that can teleport. The kid's mother was killed and he's using his powers to track down the man he thinks is responsible. The kid finds he's not the only one with this power as he's on his journey.
Also in the cast is Tom Sturridge, Jamie Bell and Teresa Palmer.
If they make this film really dark and treat this "jumping" with a large degree of reality, I can see this being a really damn interesting film. Liman's an interesting director and he's got a pretty good cast. Count me optimistic.
