We have been working directly with our partners at Twentieth Century Fox to create a game that delves into the world of the Jumpers and the Paladins.”
Elie Dekel, Executive VP, Licensing & Merchandising, Twentieth Century Fox says, “When you combine all of the talent associated with this film and impart it with one of the best action film minds today in Doug Liman you know that you are in store for one thrilling experience. Brash will take all of these elements to create a top-notch video game experience that will keep gamers on the edge of their seats.”
About Jumpers:
Jumpers, people with a genetic anomaly that enables them to teleport themselves instantaneously to anywhere on the globe, have existed for centuries. An age-old battle rages between the Jumpers and the Paladins, a clandestine organization set on eliminating them from the planet. The Jumper game extends the film’s storyline, following Griffin, a battle-hardened Jumper determined to avenge the death of his parents at the hands of the Paladins. Griffin’s quest to find the killer spans exotic locales around the world.
The Jumper video game will be released on the PS2, Wii and the Xbox 360. The game will be released on February 12, 2008, which is just three days before the movie hits theaters.
