Synopsis

When decorated soldier Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) wakes up in the body of an unknown man, he discovers he’s part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train.

In an assignment unlike any he’s ever known, he learns he’s part of a government experiment called the “Source Code,” a program that enables him to cross over into another man’s identity in the last 8 minutes of his life.

With a second, much larger target threatening to kill millions in downtown Chicago, Colter re-lives the incident over and over again, gathering clues each time, until he can solve the mystery of who is behind the bombs and prevent the next attack.

Filled with mind-boggling twists and heart-pounding suspense, Source Code is a smart action-thriller directed by Duncan Jones (Moon) also starring Michelle Monaghan (Eagle Eye, Due Date), Vera Farmiga (Up in the Air, The Departed), and Jeffrey Wright (Quantum of Solace, Syriana).

The October issue of Empire magazine dates release for Duncan Jones 2nd feature ‘Source Code’ as March 11th 2011.

Featured in the magazine’s list of the ’10 Movies We Want to See Right Now’ Duncan tells Empire when comparing casts on MOON & Source Code.

It was just me & Sam Rockwell and half a day with Kevin Spacey. On this one I’ve got four really talented actors – Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan, Vera Farmiga, Jeffrey Wright. It’s a new test, a new experience…

Although still playing his cards close to his chest with regards details (as mentioned in our previous interview when questioned on promotion) Duncan does reveal that Coulter Stevens, played by Gyllenhaal is…

a military man who wakes up on a train not knowing how he got there. Before he gets a chance to work it out, things change in such a dramatic way, he doesn’t know whether the train is real or not.

Duncan goes on to talk about adding humour to the script, and again on the incredible experience of working with legendary editor Paul Hirsch.

Source Code Filming Completes Today

And so, it came to pass, that Thursday 29th April 2010 came to be the final day on the ‘Source Code‘ shoot in Montreal. Director, Duncan Jones announced this very thing, this very day on the Twitter:

This time last year, Duncan was but a first time feature Director, awaiting the release of his first feature ‘MOON‘, now look at him, thoughts cast to the future of the Jet Set life in Blackpool, UK. This is the dream kids, apply yourself to your chosen field, and you too could one day take your partner up the Tower Ballroom!

Shooting began on ‘Source Code’ on March 1st 2010, with principal shoot in Montreal, Cananda, and a second unit shooting in Chicago, USA. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Vera Farmiga, Michelle Monaghan, Jeffrey Wright, and Russell Peters, ‘Source Code’ is a Sci-Fi story centered on a soldier (Coulter Stevens played by Gyllehaal) who wakes up in the body of a commuter who witnesses a train explosion. All is not as it seems however, as Stevens is tasked with discovering the source of the explosion, and each time he fails, has to relive the same events again and again, piecing together the clues to discover the cause of the explosion.

Update: It’s a wrap! Source Code… Shot! 29th April 2010 – 23:20 Montreal time.

Source Code Mock Up by @Malusman

‘Source Code‘ Mock Up by @malusman

Filming of Duncan Jones new feature ‘Source Code’ has completed it’s first week already! Week two will begin tomorrow, but how’s it going so far? Luckily Duncan has popped out a couple of fresh tweets this afternoon to let us know.

So! 1st week on Source Code: built a train, and it’s a beauty, but a bugger to shoot on. JG & MM are such a good laugh! Love em to bits.

JG & MM being Jake Gyllenhaal and Michelle Monaghan, ‘Source Code’ also stars Jeffrey Wright and Vera Farmiga, and will also feature the recently announced Russell Peters.

Jones continued:

SC has more humour in it than we saw on the page, & that’s been great fun! Shot some of our effects tests & they’re wonderfully horrible!

Additional humour may well come from Russell Peters extended scenes, as his official site press release states:

The reason for the re-scheduling is that Russell has landed a role in the Sci-fi action movie, Source Code. The film is set to be directed by Duncan Jones (Moon) and star Jake Gyllenhaal (Jarhead), Vera Farmiga (Up in the Air) and Michelle Monaghan (Eagle Eye).  Originally scheduled to start shooting after the Australian tour, Russell’s shoot dates were moved-up when the producers decided to expand his role in the film with additional scenes and dialogue.  Russell must now report to set on February 23rd until the end of March.  (Which also means that his Las Vegas show on March 27th will need to be re-scheduled).

So, there ya go, sounds like all on track, and building up a nice head of steam :P We’ll keep you updated as and when we hear owt else.
