    Trivia

    - The studio has announced plans to develop a trilogy based on the novel's premise.

    - In April 2006, actors Tom Sturridge, Teresa Palmer, and Jamie Bell were cast for Jumper with Sturridge in the lead.

    - Eminem turned down an offer to star.

    - In August, Hayden Christensen replaced Sturridge in the lead role as David just two weeks before the beginning of shooting, as the studio "became concerned about not having a more prominent actor in their trio of young stars."

    - In October, actress Rachel Bilson replaced Palmer in the role opposite Christensen despite principal photography already being underway. Evan Rachel Wood previously turned down the role.

    - In December 2006, Liman negotiated with the Rome Film Commission for rare access to film for three days in the Colosseum. The scene in the Colosseum was originally written for the Pantheon, at which exterior shots were also filmed. The crew was required to keep equipment off the ground by using harnesses and to rely on natural light for filming the Colosseum's scenes.

    - In January in Toronto, 56-year-old Jumper set dresser David Ritchie was fatally struck by frozen debris while dismantling an outdoor set in wintry conditions.
