Due out this February, Jumper is a new film from director Doug Liman (Go, The Bourne Identity) based on the sci-fi novel of the same name by Steven Gould. The story revolves around jumpers – young people who can teleport at will — and secret government agents called paladins whose mission it is to kill them.

Hayden Christensen stars in the title role, and his Star Wars castmate Samuel L. Jackson plays the white-haired agent who’s out to get him. Though the odds are it’ll probably just end up being another empty Hollywood big-budget fiasco, I can’t escape the feeling that this one might actually turn out to be a bit different than the rest.

I’ve long have this hunch that the much-hated Anakin Starkiller is going to end up showing everybody he’s a really talented actor one of these days — word is he already did in this — and if the slick trailer is anything to go by, he looks like he has his act together.

Click below to check out the trailer and poke around at the official site, and make sure you have the volume up to hear the wicked ‘jumping’ sound effects. Kinda sounds like a podracer in fast-forward, creating a very cool effect. Overall, I’m cautiously optimistic.
