It doesn't matter that you didn't create him in 3D. You're still compositing it digitally. Where do we draw the line? It's like in The Fountain. They said they did most FX the old fashion way. But they did a lot of digital compositing. Sorry... that's still CGI.

And on the topic of superheroes and consequences, Animal Man (Grant Morrison) is a good one.

yet not. New York provded that he's got such severe daddy issues it's...well, actually, guess that translates well to Jumper.

]]> <![CDATA[io9 Talks To Jumper Director Doug Liman]]> I have a soft spot for Doug Liman because he comes from a family of incredibly successful lawyers - like the kind that create as many google hits as he does, even though they're lawyers and he's in movies - and yet, here he is, making Bourne flicks.

He took the big risk, and he still wins.

]]> <![CDATA[io9 Talks To Jumper Director Doug Liman]]> I just finished the original novel and you know what? Hayden Christensen might just work as Davey. Davey is awkward, without style, selfish and prone to irrational outbursts. Perfect for an actor who hasn't really got that much going for himself.

This is incorrect.

@tetracycloide: Really, the problem that I had was that I wanted to do these really awesome special effects, you know, and you've only got a certain amount of screen time, anyway. Three-dimensional characters means LESS JUMPING!

]]> <![CDATA[io9 Talks To Jumper Director Doug Liman]]> @braak: i didn't want a cliche hero but i was ok with a completely cliche shadowy organization that hunts people down and kills them because they have 'the power.' i mean honestly, if the main character isn't supposed to be a traditional hero then why create an artifical organization that appears specificly to force them into being a hear a la super villans.

]]> <![CDATA[io9 Talks To Jumper Director Doug Liman]]> i have a lot of respect for the fact that they left explaining the physics of jumping out of the movie given that line of reasoning. i think the only thing more painful than watching hayden trying to act would be watching him trying to explain quantum physics.

]]> <![CDATA[io9 Talks To Jumper Director Doug Liman]]> Oh, I get it. Having the main character be an irredeemable selfish prick was an artistic choice. Good job, Doug! Way to stick it to Hollywood!
