Hayden Christensen Returns in Jumper Sequel Starring Bella Thorne
David Rice is back! Fans of 2008’s slept-on sci-fi classic Jumper can look forward to the continuing adventures of the Rice clan in Impulse, a YouTube Red series produced by Doug Liman. The series will be loosely based on the novel of the same name by Steven Gould, which is the threequel to Jumper, skipping over the second novel in the series, Reflex. Hayden Christensen of Star Wars and Canada fame is back as is his on-and-off-screen wife Rachel Bilson. The pair is joined by former Disney starlet Bella Thorne, who headlines the series as a wild child orphan/amateur snowboarder trying to make her way in the world.
SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
Before you Hayden fans get too too excited, let’s get one thing straight: David Rice and his wife died between the end of Jumper and the beginning of Impulse under mysterious circumstances. The new series deals follows their daughter’s (Thorne) attempt to solve the mystery, while juggling work, romance, and nefarious jumpers out for her head.
Christensen and Bilson will appear occasionally in select “Jump Back” sequences. There we see them sharing intimate moments with their daughter. Think of them as Force backs, but with 100% more teleportation.
FSW is thrilled to see Christensen back in front of the cameras! We hope to see Impulse teleport his career back into the limelight where it belongs.
