Synopsis
David Rice is a JUMPER, a teleporter who can go anywhere, anytime. He can see twenty sunsets in one night, whisk his girlfriend around the world in the blink of an eye, and grab millions of dollars in a matter of minutes. But his life takes a sharp turn when he finds himself relentlessly pursued by a secret organization sworn to kill Jumpers. Forming an uneasy alliance with another Jumper, David enters a war that has been raging for thousands of years, a war with our history hanging in the balance.
Leaping from the American Midwest to the streets of Tokyo and ruins of Rome, this action-packed adventure is the first chapter in an epic trilogy.
Trivia
• Evan Rachel Wood tested for the role of Millie.
• The roles of Davey and Millie were originally cast with Tom Sturridge and Teresa Palmer. After 2 months of production and inflating production costs, Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson were recast as the leads.
• There will be flash backs to the younger Davy and Millie and will help to set up the history of the main characters. Young Millie is played by Anna-Sophia Robb & Max Thieriot plays young Davy.
• Eminem turned down an offer to star.
• The crew was allowed to film inside the Colosseum for three days under the condition that no equipment could be placed on the ground. Shooting was allowed only between 6.30 and 8.30 am and again at 3.30 pm to 5.30 pm to avoid disturbing tourists. The only lighting allowed was natural sunlight.
• The movie "Jumper" takes place in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The high school depicted in the movie is called Huron High School and area teenagers were allowed an open call to appear as extras in the movies scenes in and around the school.
• John Powell will score Jumper. He also wrote the music for The Bourne Identity and Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
• This will be the 2nd movie Hayden and Samuel L. Jackson will be co-stars in. Poker Night was also to star both, but never went into development.
