With Jumper having topped both the UK and US box offices, director Doug Liman is thinking of making a sequel to the hit film.
"There are so many ideas - there's a sequel book that has such a cool twist, so unexpected, that I almost thought about doing the sequel film first," explains the director.
"I've never repeated myself but this one I could see doing a sequel and it being so original that maybe you wouldn't even use the name Jumper. It'd be the same characters but it'd be an insult to what it could be to call it Jumper 2."
The film, starring Hayden Christensen, Samuel L Jackson and Jamie Bell, was left enticingly open ended.
"I had so many ideas and this canvass was so big that I couldn't possibly get them all into the first movie," says Doug. "We also couldn't afford it - this was actually fairly low budget for this kind of movie so that's why we left the canvass open."
The director also paid tribute to Hayden, who plays teleporter David Rice in the film, now out on DVD.
"I just can't say enough good things about Hayden," he says. "What I love about him is he's complex, you actually don't know if he's a good guy or not. Hayden, for a filmmaker like me who is interested in the greys and the moral complexity of the world we're living in right now, I couldn't have had a better lead." via
