Nope, just admitting you got me on that fact. Not afraid to admit it. However…

[QUOTE]I assume the process would have been similar, involving the creation of a false identity and then setting up a bank account.

I would completely agree with you on this, but I don't see many banks accepting bags of cash no matter what your name is, that is unless this is Scarface. Also, he keeps his name Mr. Rice at the condo.

Sorry, this movie just frustrates me to no end, primarily because it could have been good had they not tried to make it so clever.

Touch a nerve there? BTW, the second book in the original story line is called Reflex.

bradbrevet said: I also think it is a flawed argument to discuss a movie and feel the need to reference books to explain the story, that is the job of the film and if the film doesn't accomplish that I find it flawed. Jumper is a flawed film on so many levels.

I don't disagree with you on either point. I wasn't the first to bring up the books, just the one trying to set the record straight and maybe answer a few questions.

Sorry, I'm a fan of the books not the movie. I assume the process would have been similar, involving the creation of a false identity and then setting up a bank account.

As to Griffin's motivation, your guess is as good as mine.

Please research your comments better. Jumper: Griffins Story is a novel written by Mr. Gould specifically as a prequel to the movie and does not fit into his existing 'Jumper' universe.

Roland is shown looking at a picture of Mary Rice in the movie. About the deleted scene I cannot comment as I have not seen them all yet (don't have the dvd myself). I have seen the 'animated graphic novel' Jump Start: David's Story while visiting a coworkers house which explains more about David's mom. There is also a graphic novel called Jumper: Jumpscars that you may want to check out.

However, there is a difference between the scene in which Roland looks at a picture of Mary in the movie as opposed to the deleted scene. The deleted scene is an alternate intro for Roland whereas in the movie it happens at the 50 minute mark. Big difference in timeline there.

The deleted Scene that shows Roland eyeballing Mary Rice's picture is in the movie, at least it is in the DVD that I bought, not the blu-ray or 2 disc set but the regular 1 disc set.

This doesn't answer anything. The movie is not the book and I said the Roland scene with him looking at the picture is a deleted scene on the Blu-ray. From what I understand Paladins aren't even in Steve Gould's original books, so that won't help. They created a new mythology using Gould's book as a guideline.
