It seems that is the case with most Fox movies these days, 'wait for the DC.'
 
The movie is quite short. But don't make it all about the studio or the director!

I do enjoy short movies, when they are made to be short, i might enjoy Jumper, but will probably wait for the DVD, and do you work for Fox or something? You take any insult of them personally for some reason.

No, I don't work for Fox. I just find your hatred for them a bit over the top. Fox did make the Alien movies, The X-Files and many other fantastic projects. But not everything will be to your taste or turn out as you wanted.

I base whether i will see a movie on whether i like the ideas in it, not because of director or studio. You're so political about everything.

And what the **** is it to you if i am? Do really care enough about the opinion of someone you have never met to always call them out on it? Honestly get a grip X-M, i dont give a **** what your opinions of movies are, so why do you care so much about mine?
 
Political ? :huh: Also when Fox made Alien and Aliens Tom Rothman was not there, it's not Fox it's that dude, he's the head of the section that deals with this genre of films unfortunately.

I enjoyed Jumper but no doubt elsewhere it could have been fleshed into much more.

Also i admit director is a part of what will draw me to a project but you never discover new talents if you only see movies with directors you like so i also go with concept and if it looks any good at trailer stage, despite how tricky they can be.

Exactly HR, i liked the look of Jumper, but its obvious Rothman got his hands on it again, and after them ruining so many movies, i dont want to give them my money any more. What is political, or even wrong, about that?

I'm drawn more by the story/concept, then by the trailer. I don't need to know who the director is. I've only really felt a bias against a director in the case of Mel Gibson, because I felt uncomfortable at the agendas in Passion of The Christ, and after his various outbursts, it sort of confirmed what I thought. But, other than that, I'm not bothered about the director, I want to see if the movie works for me as a movie about whatever it is about.

By political I mean:

I also agree that Fox has gone down the route of making much shorter and more superficial movies with X3, FF, Eragon. Rothman spoke about that in the New York Times a while back. I had a link but it's dead now, you'd have to search the NY Times archives.

I think they believe it's all about the opening weekend and about a fast-moving, superficial pop-culture that is into MTV, wii, drugs, online chatting/dating, downloading music rather than treasuring a record album. God, I remember the days before all this! I bought 12" singles and vinyl albums, listened to them over and over, admired the artwork on them, and stored them alphabetically in shelving, I contacted friends by long phone conversations and also long letters. I shared a house in the early 90s and we'd all have evenings where we sat in the living room and wrote pages and pages of letters to our various friends. Friends would come and stay for weekends, and we had house parties where dozens of people turned up and I did cassettes of mixed music to play at the party. Today, we're in a much more instant world. I'm not always sure it's a better world.
 
They've started to air commercials for the DVD release.

June 10th. Don't forget! :up:
 
i cant wait...

this will be the first dvd ive bought in a long time...
 
Eh..I still wasn't too glued into the characters...or story..or acting.

But for those who like it, JUNE 10TH LIKE ZOMG11?!:)
 
wow...i forget to Rate the Movie. I saw the movie within a week it came out and from what i remember it was a very entertaining movie. I'm not sure about buying DVD, though.
 
The movie was decent could have been longer, and the DVD cover isn't that great. I would have preferred him standing on the pyramid or even him at Big Ben

I don't think they'll make another. This movie just barely broke it budget domesticly.

Which is why I hope the DVD is a phenomenal success. World Wide, however, the film did amazingly well, ending with a total that's over two-hundred million.

Yeah WW is good and all, but Fox and most other companies enjoy it when America brings home the bacon. Jumper didn't bring it as once thought. Even with dvds it isn't gonna push it. If Fox liked doing dtv movies I could see a jumper 2, but since they don't really do that I don't see a 2 in the future.

Christensen Up for Jumper Sequel
Source: Toronto Sun
June 9, 2008


With the Jumper DVD (read review) and Blu-ray Disc hitting stores Tuesday, star Hayden Christensen ("Star Wars" prequels) tells the Toronto Sun he's up for a sequel.

"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."

Liman originally planned a movie trilogy based on Steven Gould's novel. Liman spun out a liberal re-imagining of Gould's more personal story about child abuse, which had jumping as a metaphor for escape.

"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."

Jumper, made for about $85 million, earned a solid $221.4 million worldwide in theaters.
 
Still haven't seen it, will probably pick up the DVD though.
