Doug Liman is maybe well - know for The Bourne Identity , Edge of Tomorrow , and the forthcoming Justice League Dark , but in 2008 he helmed Jumper , about a young man whose teleportation ability make him a target for religious extremists . The storey was challenging , and though the film got mixed reviews , Liman ’s going to tackle the continuation .
But it wo n’t be a giving - silver screen feature , and it wo n’t asterisk Hayden Christensen , the erstwhile Anakin Skywalker whose action - pic career was the braggy casualty of those Jumper motley reviews . ( Meanwhile , carbon monoxide - asterisk Samuel L. Jackson escaped completely unhurt . ) Instead , Impulse — based on author Steven Gould ’s follow - up to his Jumper novel — will be a series produce for YouTube Red , with Liman handling the pilot alongside author Jeff Lieber ( Lost ) . It follows the teen daughter of the protagonists of Jumper ( bet by Christensen and Rachel Bilson in the movie ) , who also has teleportation and has been raised in relative closing off for her protection .
YouTube Red also picked up another writing style task , time - traveling show Lifeline , as ebullient manufacturer Dwayne Johnson ( who calls the program “ fucking awful ” ) announced earlier today .
