... Doug Liman seems to be a good bet to get that done, but political spy thriller? Surely we'll end up more like Bourne and the Smiths? In a nutshell, Plume was a CIA agent who was revealed to the press by the American government after she criticised their handling of the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq issue. It began a rather open and very political controversial affair and Plume's book followed soon after.

... . I can’t find one trustworthy critic who offers good enough reason to see it. Meanwhile, I’m hoping that Jumper , if actually terrible, could simply be a fluke and I can get back in the game of supporting Liman with his next one (he’s just been slated to direct Nicole Kidman as real-life CIA Agent Victoria Plame). However, aside from the fact that he has his next project lined up, if Jumper is a bomb and if he maintains his bad reputation of being difficult to work with, then less and less of Hollywood is likely to give him a next one.

Maybe, then, while Jumper is a bit of a justification for his career of late, in the sequel David can become more of a selfless superhero, while Liman struggles to move on to more serious films, as he claims he’d like to do (his next picture is about Valerie Plame ).
