NEW YORK — Doug Liman is rarely finished with his movies.

So his teleportation thriller Jumper is still a work in progress, even though it debuted on DVD this week.

“I made a few changes on Jumper between the theatrical cut and the DVD that you saw,” Liman tells Sun Media.

“But I really have a more aggressive program of things I would like to do to the movie. So, for me, it is going to be the second DVD, like the second DVD for Mr. and Mrs. Smith, that is going to be the more important one.”

Liman also recut his surprise hit, The Bourne Identity into an extended version.

On Jumper, Liman is talking about doing it by next year. By then, the sequel might also be more developed.

Liman and his stars — Hayden Christensen, Rachel Bilson and Jamie Bell — are keen to return to the potential franchise, despite mixed reviews on the first instalment.

Exciting news about Rachel’s new line!

Rachel Bilson was in New York on Tuesday to promote the release of “Jumper” on DVD and Blu-Ray with co-stars Hayden Christensen and Jamie Bell. The DVD hits stores on June 10, but Bilson had something else on her mind. The 26-year-old actress was sitting on a bench in the rooftop garden at 230 Fifth Avenue, talking about the launch of her Edie Rose for DKNY Jeans line, which will hit stores in time for back-to-school. “I know nothing about manufacturing, so it has been great to partner with DKNY Jeans. They seriously know what they are doing,” she said. “They have been so great, so helpful.”

Meanwhile, in her spare time, Bilson said she’s learning to sew. “My friend’s grandmother helped me make a skirt, and I was so excited about it,” she said. “But then it came out something like 10 sizes too big. Oh, well — it was just my first lesson.” Bilson said she recently finished shooting the ad campaign for her Edie Rose line, which will be in September fashion magazines. “We are still approving the images, but it’s all very exciting,” she said. “I just really hope that people like it.”
