Rachel Bilson will replace Teresa Palmer in the sci-fi adventure Jumper opposite Hayden Christensen.
Based on the novel by Steven Gould, the movie follows a young man from a broken home who discovers he has the ability to teleport. In his quest for the man he believes responsible for the death of his mother, he draws the attention of the National Security Agency and another young man with the same abilities. Samuel L. Jackson and Jamie Bell also star. Palmer was dropped from the movie when the role was rewritten as a 25-year old woman rather than a 20-year old girl.
Doug Liman is directing the movie which is currently shooting in Toronto. David Goyer adapted the screenplay which was subsequently rewritten by Jim Uhls and Simon Kinberg.
Bilson stars on TV’s The OC. She most recently starred opposite Zach Braff in The Last Kiss. Here’s a picture of me and Rachel Bilson from the party for The Last Kiss held during this year’s Toronto Film Festival.
