I don’t think there’s any doubt that “Jumper 2″ is coming sooner rather than later. Writer/director Doug Liman has already made it very clear that he wrote the first one with intentions of spinning it off into a trilogy, which may or may not explain why many people complained that the film seemed incomplete or muddled. That, apparently, was done on purpose, as Liman always intended to do more than one more on the subject, and, one presumes, he would explain more in the sequels. Or anyways, that’s the word.

If you’re wondering why people are even talking about a “Jumper” sequel, especially since the originally was received with an almost universal “Eh” shrug? Here’s why they’re considering it: It cost the studio $80 million dollars to make “Jumper”, and the film has grossed over $221 million worldwide. In Hollywood, a million more than the cost of production is usually a good enough reason for a sequel, so why not a movie that grossed nearly three times its budget? And so, we’re talking about “Jumper 2″.
