BFFs Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen arrive at LAX airport in Los Angeles on Saturday.

@ Isabella
I dont think so
purplehearts I know they were qualifying Sienna Miller for an oscar for Factory Girl why did they reject her?
@ Raven
I do something nice and agree with you, and you kick it back in my face-I’m telling you for the LAST time I post here under the name above, not anyone else.
Unlike some I do not have multi-names it’s just me. Period, End of story. Nada-with luck you will understand that.
Trust me I would post something using my name just to annoy you, because you and others are easy bait.
Wait for the fake VOR to show up————it will happen.
@ Isabella
I dont know I will try to find out
@ VOR
We have had problems of people posting as other people we even had a fake Raven come on here
purplehearts Thank You
purplehearts Did you find out why?
@ Isabella
No I havnt checked it
There are new pictures of Rachel at a Jumper press conference in New York wtih Hayden and Jaime Bell. You can see her shoulders.
She’s gotten so skinny it’s really really worrisome.
purplehearts Did you check?
@ Marla
Where are the pictures?
purplehearts Did you find why the oscars rejected Sienna Miller for Factory Girl
The actual take for jumper was 27m for the weekend not that great a start as it was the only action adventure movie out that is why it is #1 this is a slow month for movies..that is why Liman choose it he knew they could take the box office with that movie. But this week more movies are opening and when you have bad bad reviews and fans who saw it some claim they walked out and others indured it but hated it..only Rayden fans loved it and that is a small group of people..
They are far from being any couple I have ever seen..this is expressed in the movie the coldness to each other.
Raven read your opening here as I’m getting a late start on this subject..I think he does see a slight resemblance to Natalie and I know he adored Natalie greatly.. She might have reminded him of her in some small way that might have sparked interest in him..but I think if he couldn’t have the real thing then he why take a fake replacement.

“Christensen, best known as the whiny proto-Darth Vader in the “Star Wars” prequels, has played one character across his career, the petulant, self-obsessed, privileged snob, and he’s gotten good at it. Bilson is completely miscast as the older Millie. The kind girl who opened herself up to outcast David in high school has become a complete twit, and it’s not as if it’s an exterior that covers up something deeper inside. Her emotions range from flipping her hair to adjusting her shoulder strap, but the surprise, indignation, and independence a character in her situation should exhibit are completely missing.”
Ms.Hesterblog
“The movie “Jumper” completely failed to represent anything worth spending money on to go see. I must admit I was a victim of clever Hollywood movie promotion and marketing. It made me completely forget that Hayden Christensen is a bad actor and that in and of itself should’ve been my first clue. Two Star Wars movies should’ve been my first clue!! And really, do not get me started on Rachel Bilson. Shudder. Now, I’ve only ever seen a handful of The OC episodes, and RUMOR has it she’s pretty funny in that show. However, if Jumper is any indication of her “budding” film career, listen to me sister, STICK with the Teen-Soap operas and brainless Bimbo roles.”
LukeHickmanblog
“Although JUMPER is full of fun intense action and great effects, there are plenty of holes and unanswered questions. Some of the dialogue is extremely cheesy, especially those delivered by David’s romantic interest, THE O.C.’s Rachel Bilson (whose poor acting sticks out like a sore thumb). And for some reason, Liman made their cutesy love scene feel like it was from THE O.C. by playing The Fray as the two gave each other googily eyes and stripped down.”
Loudmoutblog
“The love interest was played unsuccesfully by Rachel Bilson of O.C. fame. She did nothing to capture hearts, she was simply Summer Roberts in her movie debut. She had the same snark and snobbery which worked for the O.C. but it didn’t work in this film where she played a waitress at a Houlihan’s that didn’t even look like a Houlihan’s. Bilson is a cute girl but I don’t think she has “arrived” to the point of screen siren status.”
RedTieReview
“Is it entertaining? Barely. The action has its moments, but the time away from that it tries to be dramatic and fails with flat characters and no development.
Is it marketable? The only thing selling this movie is special effects and actors/actresses that make great myspace backgrounds.
Is it memorable? No.”
Antagony & Ecstacy
“It is a film totally without personality; its existence is a matter solely of commerce and the knowledge that deep down, most of us do not require much in the way of logical storytelling or a compelling visual language when there are pretty people to be gawked at. This is indeed the reason that movie stars exist, not that Christensen or Bilson are particularly good movie stars, being respectively “Oh God, that Star Wars kid” and “Who?” “The friend on The O.C.” “Oh, God.” Also, Bilson weighs about 20 pounds nowadays, and that’s really too alarming to be even a little bit sexy.”
Filmblather.com
“Christensen’s utter vacancy is a bane on Jumper, an otherwise serviceable sci-fi thriller that would have benefited from a compelling center. The dead-eyed Christensen ensures that there’s nothing for us to latch onto. And Bilson, whose job is mostly to shake her head in stunned disbelief is hardly more engaging.”
Anutshellreview
“Rachel Bilson, in yet another seductive temptress role, and a major annoyance in the movie unfortunately).”
Matchflick.com
“One of the major problems is the quality of the performances. Christensen is awful, and his character is obnoxious and selfish. Bilson is wooden, she is certainly pretty, but is out of her league, maybe overwhelmed in something that is not a teen-oriented soap opera. The biggest travesty of all is Jackson, who sleepwalks through his role, and makes Roland a particularly pathetic villain.”
Siude.com
“The acting is absolutely atrocious. Jackson and Bell do a fine job with what they are given, but Christensen has all the range of a piece of plywood, and Bilson serves as a plot device, or more appropriately, a pair of breasts on stilts. Bilson is pretty much talent-less, but Christensen has proven he can act before, and it’s a shame that he isn’t picking better projects.”
Northstarwriters.com
“It’s not fair to critique acting when the dialogue is lacking, but Bilson’s performance is weak. One gets the feeling that she has found it difficult to break away from playing “Summer” on “The OC”. She just doesn’t have much of a presence about her, partially because her voice and facial expressions are small, and partially because she is literally tiny – skinny to an unhealthy degree.” If you’re on your couch in a few months and can’t think of anything to see, you might consider renting this movie. But if it were up to me, I’d much rather re-watch “Snakes on a Plane.”
Livingthelifeblog
“When they introduced Rachel Bilson, my heart groaned. That girl can’t act for nuts. She is in her “OC” bimbo mode as she tried so hard to convince the audience that she is some chick who loves to travel and somehow inspire Hayden to see the world. Totally unbelieveable. I think the young girl who acted as Millie is better”
TCW FilmReview
“I would strongly advise Mr. Christensen that he go back to whichever acting school he attended and get more proper acting lessons or at least ask for his money back, because it’s pretty obvious that he did not get his money’s worth. As for Rachel Bilson I honestly have no idea what her part was even in this movie for, other than showing us a little soft-core T&A there was nothing to her character at all, in fact I found every minute she was on camera was a minute wasted when it could have been used to better the plot and the development of the main characters.”
Cbc.ca
“Christensen, who played the impassive Anakin Skywalker in the three Star Wars prequels, returns to familiar terrain as a Haunted Loner with a Persecution Complex. Sadly, his glassy stare does little to suggest the wounded soul within. Bilson, on the other hand, is totally miscast; she plays the hapless, small-town girl with big dreams as a toned-down version of the O.C.’s glib princess Summer Roberts.”
CardinalPointsOnline
“Rachel Bilson, the actress who fills the boots of David’s main squeeze, gives the movie its eye-candy quota. Her strong-points don’t range beyond batting her eyelashes, unfortunately. Bilson isn’t given sufficient screen time to make her character more than a whimpering damsel-in-distress. Each mind-numbingly dumb question that she asks is like an ice pick through the skull.
Viewers will quickly grow annoyed with her character, and cheer when she is captured by one of the bounty hunters.”
NationalPost.
“What casting director is sitting around thinking “Oh my god. I have to get Hayden Christiansen and Rachel Bilson for this film! DREAM TEAM!”? Why do these people continue to have careers? Because as nonsensical as Jumper was, it could have been a lot of silly fun if Bilson wasn’t around to suck the life out of every scene she’s in. There was still a lot to like/mock: that double-decker bus flying into the desert out of nowhere, Samuel L. Jackson’s hair, scintillating dialogue like “Did I just…teleport?” I can’t wait for the sequel (but only if it features none of the original cast, like the multiple sequels to Bring It On).”
Giantmag.com
“I’m not going to beat around the bush here: Jumper is a terrible movie, possibly the worst that’s been released so far this year. (Although, to be fair, I skipped The Hottie and The Nottie and Meet the Spartans.) What’s so crushing about Jumper’s general crappiness is that the premise holds so much potential for a kick-ass action movie… Oh and Rachel Bilson shows up briefly as David’s love interest, a role that only requires her to take off her clothes and bat her big eyes at the annoying hero, who, let’s be frank, treats her like sh$#@. .. The rest of the movie is so deeply impersonal and poorly constructed that I can’t imagine any self-respecting filmmaker, particularly someone with as much hipster cred as Liman, giving it his seal of approval. The only possible explanation is that Liman, a notoriously difficult director to work with anyway, was locked out of the editing room as the studio rushed to make sure that the film was completed in time for its February release date.”
EpistolaryBlog
“To my dearest darling readers: Believe me when I tell you that Jumper is the worst movie I’ve seen in years.… For people who are supposedly boyfriend-girlfriend in real life (or gay guy-beard, depending on your source of celebrity gossip), Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson have no chemistry at all. Max Thieriot and AnnaSophia Robb, teenagers, have better chemistry and bigger acting chops. I’m beginning to think that Rachel Bilson can only play one character: Rachel Bilson…Oh man. Jumper is the sort of film that makes me wish the screenwriters would go back on strike. Whoever is responsible for this storyline should be shot.”
woah. let’s all just calm the **** down. if rachel does not want to eat…not our issue. if hayden does not want to smile…not our issue. if they do not want to make out in public constantly so that more photographers will follow them around….also not our issue. i think it’s pretty obvious they’re dating…but they have decided to “keep it a secret” from the press. let them do it if it makes them happy. ****…if i had flashing lights in my face everytime i went to the liquor store i probably wouldn’t smile either.
