This is a new movie coming out next year form the director of The Bourne Identity and Mr and Mrs Smith.
The plot is about David (Hayden Christensen) a young man who has the ability to teleport at will to wherever he wishes. Unfortunately his lifestyle has brought on the attention of people who want to stop him and kill him. Together with another "Jumper" (Jamie Bell) David is drawn into a war where he has to use his abilities to survive.
The trailer went live at http://www.jumperthemovie.com/
Looks pretty good. The director knows how to handle action, the story sounds solid and Jamie Bell and Hayden Christensen look confident in the roles.
Could be pretty good.

Yeah the concept is pretty cool, but I don't know about the whole lightsaber lookin' projectile weapons they all seem to be using.
I kinda want to see it, but I feel that it would've been more interesting if They focused on one person with the ability to teleport, in a real-world setting, and all the issues that could ensue... The whole war thing just seems a little much.
Hope it works out for Hayden though, it'd be a shame if the "Skywalker Curse" was passed on to him...

Judging by the trailer, it looks very action-packed. Hopefully it won't be too CGI-heavy, but I'm definitely looking forward to this regardless.

Yeah, you'd think that with two former jedi in it, they could've picked a slightly different shaped weapon. 
Even with that, it looks kinda cool. A little X-Men-ish, like they said, "that was a cool power, let's make a whole movie off of it."

I just like how he uses his power to grab the remote when it's just out of arm's length. So much power and he uses it to trivially.
But I don't realy know how big the whole "war" aspect is. I've heard other synopsis' where it says that David uses his power to try and find the people who killed his mother or something. Nothing I've read has been entirely solid.

It has Samuel L. Jackson. Therefore, I am 100% on board with this.

Wow, really neat looking flick. Love the tether concept- the use of that in the trailer was certainly a "woah!" moment.

I think I'd like the movie more if they weren't ripping the guts out of the book. Most of the elements are there, but the whole tone has been changed.

I agree with the others who said the whole war thing seems a bit much, but otherwise it looks pretty cool.
