A Mysterious Sign Snags Our Attention in "Jumper"

Jumper won't be in theaters for three weeks, but you can do the viral marketing dance and comb through its website for clues about the movie. In fact, if you hit the "jump" button and take yourself to Tokyo, you might spot a reference to a certain scifi blog in the background, right next to a strutting Samuel L. Jackson.

Okay, we know that's probably an address reading "109" on the top of that building in the background, but it's fun for us to pretend that they decided to feature our nanotech-grown Tokyo headquarters in this new "teleport your ass everwhere" movie. We wouldn't have taken any product placement dough in return, just the ability to leap through space and leave jumpscars all over the world.

The megaversion of the above photo can be found here, or you can gather the codes and stuff that you need to jump to Tokyo on the Jumper site here.

The Hayden Christensen teleportation movie Jumper comes out in a month, and of course there's a video game to go with it. You'll play the Jamie Bell jumper character Griffin from the movie, who has a particular bone to pick with the anti-Jumper Paladins who are trying to track him down: they killed his parents. Of course, when you have the ability to hop dimensionally through space, it makes fighting a lot more fun. You can teleport your enemy next to a hungry polar bear, or into the path of a shark in an aquarium. In fact, why not just teleport them into a brick wall? You could even be extremely sneaky like Hiro from Heroes and teleport them into your dead father's grave. The possibilities are endless.
