Samuel L. Jackson talked to Moviehole and revealed that his "Star Wars" co-star Hayden Christensen won't star with him in Poker Night, which Jackson says is "dead in the water," but instead in another project.
Jackson says Christensen might be joining him in Doug Liman's "Jumper," based on the Steven Gould novel of the same name. It follows a kid from a broken home who discovers that he has the ability to teleport. In his quest for the man he believes is responsible for the death of his mother, the kid draws the attention of the National Security Agency and another youth with the same abilities. Jackson will play the NSA agent tracking the jumper, and may have ulterior motives for finding him.
The sci-fi thriller will be Liman's first feature helming gig since Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Tom Sturridge, Jamie Bell and Teresa Palmer already have been cast. Shooting is scheduled to take place in Tokyo, Rome, Toronto and New York.
