NEW YORK -- Max Thieriot will play a younger version of Hayden Christensen's character, the title role of Doug Liman's sci-fi adventure "Jumper," for 20th Century Fox and Regency Enterprises.
Thieriot's character is a young man from an abusive home who develops the ability to teleport to different times and locations.
Thieriot most recently appeared in Adam Shankman's "Catch That Kid" for 20th Century Fox and "The Pacifier" for Walt Disney Pictures.
Thieriot will be seen next year in the Polish brothers' "The Astronaut Farmer" and Andrew Fleming's "Nancy Drew" for Warner Bros. Pictures.
"Jumper" is produced by Lucas Foster and Simon Kinberg, who teamed with Liman on "Mr. & Mrs. Smith." The screenplay is adapted from a 1992 novel by Steven Gould.
He is repped by the Gersh Agency and attorneys Jeffrey Frankel and Scott Whitehead at Colden McKuin and Frankel.
