With the adaptation of Steven Gould's Jumper novel hitting DVD tomorrow, this report is timely. Leading star Hayden Christensen has told the Toronto Sun that he's up for a sequel to the Doug Liman film and there are discussions underway for just that. For those who read the book and watched the movie, there are differences but author Gould is currently writing new novels that go around Liman's newly introduced storyline.
"We're talking about it," the 27-year-old Canadian actor said. "I know that they're having those conversations, I hear about them." So would he sign on again? "Oh yeah, and I think I probably will."
"It was set up to become that -- a trilogy -- if it did well," Christensen added. "And I think they're happy with how it did so they want to make another one. But I don't think they're rushing to get into production."
The original adaptation opened in theaters Feb. 14, 2008 with $27.3 mil. The 85 mil budgeted film would go onward to gross $221.4 mil worldwide, $79.8 of it domestic and the other $141.5 mil from foreign theaters.
