Jumper leaps to 360, Wii, PS2

By Tom Magrino, GameSpotPosted Nov 13, 2007 12:18 pm PT

Brash Entertainment adapting upcoming Doug Liman-directed film for consoles, due three days before theatrical release on February 12.

In June, recently formed Brash Entertainment announced it had secured big-time funding to the tune of $400 million to raise the ante on film-to-game adaptations. Cofounded by Legendary Pictures CEO Thomas Tull and helmed by Mitch Davis, founder of in-game advertising firm Massive Inc., Brash has thus far hinted at six projects currently under development, including adaptations of Saw and a PC version of 300, as well as a rhythm game featuring the squirrelly crooners Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Today, Brash announced that its latest film-to-game synergy will be a partnership with 20th Century Fox on the upcoming Doug Liman (Bourne Identity) production Jumper. As with the film, the game follows genetically deviant humans who are capable of teleporting at will anywhere in the world. Continuing the movie's teleportation-happy premise, the game focuses on the role of Billy Elliot star Jamie Bell as Griffin, who seeks to redress the murder of his parents by those bent on ridding the planet of jumpers.

Aside from being an action adventure, gameplay details on Jumper are sparse. The game will be available for the Xbox 360, Wii, and PlayStation 2 on February 12, three days before the film's theatrical release. It has not yet been rated.

    i dont know what the **** happened, but there really should be a v for vendetta game. if they made it and do it right it could be a great game. it has all the elements for a video game. superhuman protagonist. corrupt and controlling anarchist government. it would be so cool.

    and the 300 game better be good.

    Devvy01 i dont believe the 400mil is just for one adaptation. it appears it is funding for many projects

    The movie looks great, but I couldn't stand how poor his acting skills were as Anakin. I hope he does better here. I'm scared of movie to game translations. Wait to see how the review goes.

    Yeah Jumper, that was filmed right in my hometown in Michigan. it was sweet, Samuel L Jackson and Anakin Skywalker were here. I was actually one of hundreds of kids to be an extra in the movie. anyway, the game should be ok. the plot of the movie is pretty sweet

    Sony doesn't know what they're doing, lol. Eventhough it's not a huge game, PS3 being the only console it's not on shows how much support it's getting - none. If PS2 dies, I wonder what will happen...
