Hayden Christensen talks about a Darker JUMPER Sequel

In a recent interview with MTV, actor Hayden Christensen revealed that a sequel to Doug Liman's 2008 sci-fi film Jumper might actually happen. Here's what he said:

We're talking about it right now actually. Hopefully somewhere a little darker. I think there's a lot you can do with it. It was sort of set up in a way it's gonna be mother hunting son and possibly even maybe sister hunting brother. We're talking about it, trying to figure it out.

I loved the concept and story behind Jumper, unfortunately I think they dropped the ball with the first film. It should have been a much better movie. I wouldn't mind seeing another chapter up on the big screen though as long as they could get it together and make a better film this time around.

What do you all think of a Jumper sequel?

Jumper is the story of an underground world of teleporters. Based on the novel by Steven Gould, Jumper concerns David (Hayden Christensen), a young man who quite literally wills himself away from his grim family life by teleporting to another place with the power of his mind. Years later, David is using his powers to raid bank vaults, seduce girls in London, lunch on the pyramids, and surf in Fiji. But he soon discovers that he is not the only one bestowed with this unique gift, and all is not well in the world of jumpers. There are people out there, such as Roland (Samuel L. Jackson), who view jumpers as a threat to all humankind, and have made it their mission in life to eliminate them. After jumping back to Michigan to get reacquainted with his long lost love, Millie (Rachel Bilson), David makes the acquaintance of experienced jumper Griffin (Jamie Bell). Informed by Griffin of a secret between jumpers and a shadowy group that seeks to destroy them, the pair soon finds themselves facing off against a legion of murderous opponents who won't stop fighting until every last jumper has been eliminated.
