CENTURY CITY, Calif. – Anywhere. Anything. Instantly. The evolution of the action thriller takes its biggest jump yet when Jumper makes its global debut on DVD and Blu-Ray Disc (BD) on June 10th in North America and from June 16th Internationally from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.
From Doug Liman, the director of The Bourne Identity and Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and based on the best selling science-fiction novel by Steven Gould, Jumper is an experience “like nothing you’ve seen before” (Good Day NY) and has “something new and cool every five minutes” (The New York Sun). A fantastical journey through space and time, Jumper stars Hayden Christensen (Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, Awake) as David, a young man with the uncanny ability to transport himself anywhere in the world in the blink of an eye. Living a carefree life of excess where anything and anywhere is possible, David’s world comes to an abrupt halt when he realizes that his gift is not as unique as he initially thought. Pursued by a secret organization sworn to kill Jumpers, David is forced to form an uneasy alliance with another young Jumper named Griffin (Jamie Bell; King Kong, Flags of our Fathers), becoming a key player in a war that has been raging for thousands of years.
With non-stop action and intense drama, the $180 million worldwide box office hit Jumper features thrilling performances from Samuel L. Jackson (Snakes on a Plane, 1408), Rachel Bilson (“The O.C., The Last Kiss), Diane Lane (Untraceable, Unfaithful) and Michael Rooker (Slither, The Bone Collector). The North American DVD will be available on two-disc special edition and Blu-Ray disc – both including digital copy – and the International DVD will be available as a fully-loaded one-disc. Both Domestic and International versions feature the full-length theatrical film and all new bonus materials not seen in theaters, including Jumper back-story, an animated graphic novel, deleted scenes, audio commentary by the director and producers, behind-the-scenes featurettes and more. The Jumper two-disc DVD will be available for the suggested retail price of $34.98 U.S. / $45.98 Canada and on BD for $39.98 U.S. / $49.98 Canada. Additionally, a single-disc version will be available for the suggested retail price of $29.98 U.S. / $43.48 Canada. Prebook is May 14.
