BAFTA Award-winning British film director Duncan Jones announced his arrival in style back in 2009 with his critically acclaimed debut feature Moon, so there is quite the anticipation for his next effort, Source Code, which hits cinemas this April. Described as a 'techno-thriller', Source Code stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a soldier who finds himself part of an experimental government programme to discover the man responsible for bombing a passenger train by reliving the events over and over again.
Take a look at the official synopsis and check out the second trailer, which made its way onto the internet earlier today via MovieFone...
Captain Colter Stevens wakes with a jolt to find himself on a commuter train heading into Chicago. Although the other passengers all seem to know him, he has absolutely no idea where—or even who—he is. The last thing Colter remembers is flying a helicopter mission in Iraq, but here he is in someone else’s life going through someone else’s morning commute. Before he can do anything an express train zooms by on the opposite track and a bomb explodes, seemingly killing Colter and all the other passengers.
Colter comes to in an isolation chamber, strapped to a seat, and wearing his military flight suit. He still has no idea what’s happening, except that he’s being spoken to by mission controller Carol Goodwin, who calmly recites a series of memory questions to which Colter is shocked to realize he knows the answers. He learns he’s part of an operation called “Beleaguered Castle,” but before he can progress any further, Goodwin starts up the machinery and suddenly … Colter is back on the train, at exactly the same time he first appeared there, once again speeding through Chicago with the same group of commuters. Colter figures he’s in some kind of simulation exercise, with his task being to find the bomber onboard the train before it goes off again. Living the explosion over and over, Colter must uncover the identity of the bomber, while also figuring out what the alternative universe of “Beleaguered Castle” is. Adding to the puzzle, Colter uses the second chance opportunities to make peace with his father, and to find romance with a fellow passenger on the train.
Written by Ben Ripley (Species III), Source Code also stars Vera Farmiga (Up in the Air), Michelle Monaghan (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), Jeffrey Wright (Casino Royale) and Michael Arden (Bride Wars) and arrives in the UK and North America on April 1st. Watch the first trailer here.
