I had no idea Doug Liman directed this. It looks kinda like a Nightcrawler movie, cept with Hadyn Christenson. I'll more than likely see this in theaters, but if I didn't know that Liman directed I probably wouldn't be as interested. It does look pretty cool though.

Looks like Mace gets some revenge. Looks alright. I started to notice that they put virtually no Hayden dialog in it at all, but then the end he had some. I was beginning to think, "Oh, great, the kid still can't act and they're hiding it."

Hey, I like Life as a House and Shattered Glass as much as the next guy. I was just pointing out the length of the trailer that the main character wasn't speaking.

Of course. I guess I should point out that I haven't watched the trailer yet. 
I suppose we can consider this the Superman Returns philosophy for creating a trailer.

That was...suprisingly cool. I am completely unfamiliar with the book, so I'm interested in that now too.
The effects look pretty amazing too, which is great for a trailer.

Um......
Not sure where to beging with this but what is this based on? A comic or actual book?
Either way unfortunately I don't think it looks all that great. I could be wrong and it turns out to be great, but I probably would still wait for DVD.

yeah, I think that was the Best Actors/Actresses thread. The OOP didn’t want people giving answers like, “I think Tom Cruise & Samuel El Jackson are great actors”. Classic’!

It has a sequel - Reflex
and kind of a revisionist parallel story with a character from the movie called Jumper: Griffin's Story

New trailer: http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/jumper/
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uS8u4MDq7Ow&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uS8u4MDq7Ow&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed>
I think this is still looking pretty cool. I love the whole "hunters-hunted" vibe, and I hope that's not a small part of the film.

I saw the trailer before American Gangster. Ugh.
Doug Liman, what the hell has happened to you? You went from making a terrific indie comedy GO, to the badass Bourne Identity, to popcorn crap Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and now to this?
