In Partnership With Twentieth Century Fox and Regency Enterprises, Brash Brings the Next Science Fiction-Action-Thriller to a Console Near You

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. -- Brash Entertainment announced that Jumper: Griffin's Story hits store shelves nationwide today. Jumper: Griffin's Story is the video game based off the film Jumper, the eagerly anticipated science fiction-action-thriller from Twentieth Century Fox and Regency Enterprises. Directed by Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity), and starring Hayden Christensen, Rachel Bilson, Jamie Bell, and Samuel L. Jackson, Jumper premieres in theatres this Thursday, February 14, 2008.

Jumpers, people with a genetic anomaly that enables them to teleport themselves instantaneously to anywhere on the globe, have existed for centuries. An age-old battle rages between the Jumpers and the Paladins, a clandestine organization set on eliminating them from the planet.

The Jumper: Griffin's Story game extends the film's storyline, following Griffin, a battle-hardened Jumper determined to avenge the death of his parents at the hands of the Paladins. Griffin is played by Jamie Bell in both the film and the game, offering players the ability to experience the character first hand as he battles through exotic locales around the world, on a quest to find his parent's killer. Players use their teleportation skills to "Jump" within hand-to-hand combat range of an enemy, and use intense combo fighting systems to start dishing out devastating blows.

Jumper: Griffin's Story the video game will be available for the PLAYSTATION([R])2 computer entertainment system, the Wii[TM] video game system from Nintendo, and XBOX[TM] 360. The game is available now at all North American retailers, and is followed by the theatrical release on February 14, 2008 and is rated 'T' for Teen by the ESRB.
