If you could instantly teleport to any location in the world, where would you go? Egypt? Scotland? Japan? The fridge? The upcoming film Jumper deals with the repercussions of this gift, especially when there is a large organization out to kill you.

Jumper is based on a novel by Steven Gould. Plans for a game and graphic novel are in place. While few details are known are about the film, it seems to follow the plot of the book, which involves a teenage boy with an absent mother who discovers his ability to teleport. However, the film’s story deviates slightly, becoming more complex. When Jumpers teleport, they leave something called a “jumpscar” behind - a sort of rift in the space-time continuum. Recognizing how dangerous an undisciplined Jumper can be, a group of Paladins, led by Samuel L. Jackson’s character, attempt to hunt and kill them.
