Jumper sequel in the works?

I've got news everyone! Everyone's favorite actor, Hayden Christensen, claims that last year's film, Jumper (average review score around 35/100), was originally set to be the first in a trilogy if the film did well and there are currently talks of a sequel. Maybe even two sequels! Christensen says "We're talking about it. I know that they're having those conversations, I hear about them." Funny how fast "we" changed to "they" in reference to who is involved in these discussions.

What does this have to do with video games, you ask? Perhaps you're familiar with film-video game tie ins. They're those terrible games that get released simultaneously with the movies they are based on, and Jumper had one. While the movie may have set the bar for quality uncomfortably low, Jumper: Griffin's Story managed to limbo beneath it with inches to spare. With an average review score of 29/100, the only bonus to playing it was the fact that it only took about an hour to rack up most of the achievements in the game, (if that's your thing).

Just think, if another Jumper movie is made then who's to stop another game from being released? How many trees will be felled to produce the instruction manuals and cover inserts? How many plastic-beasts will be slaughtered to make the game discs and keep cases. How many children will stumble across the game in bargain bins, only to play it and have their lives ruined?

If nothing else, I think we're at a point where we can just assume that every new movie is intended to be the first of a trilogy.
