It looks like the marketing is starting to build for the upcoming sci fi flick Jumper. Of course you never know until you actually see the movie, but this is looking pretty interesting and like it could be cool.
I’m not going to fault Hayden Christensen for his performance in the Star Wars movies - that’s all on George Lucas as far as I’m concerned. So I’m wiping the slate and assuming that he is capable of doing a good job here. Also, remember that the guy behind Mr and Mrs Smith and The Bourne Identity is behind this and that gets it points for sure.

The poster is OK, but I’m eagerly awaiting the day when a long black coat is no longer the “must have” fashion statement in movies.
Jumper opens on February 15th, 2008.

I am looking forward to this movie renewing my faith in Hayden Christensen, from his horrible role as Anakin which was one of the things that ruined the Star Wars prequels for me.

Well, I do, but also his performance was at the same time not necessarily gold either. He just doesn’t play a good angry person, and you think someone playing Anakin that would be a must have. Again I’m not exactly blaming Hayden, but I think one of the points of the Star Wars prequels was to understand Anakin’s side in it. But, all I could focus on was his naiveness and anger issues, I couldn’t feel anything but joy when he was set on fire. Later though I went back and watched and I got over the character and it was actually a good story, but something was amiss. And from what I’ve seen in trailers for Awake and Jumper, he looks like a superb actor. Perhaps it’s what hes learned along the way.
I agree with the points you make about anger in the role. He came across like a petulant child instead of a dangerous man.
