According to the folks at ThePlayList and ScriptShadow, Source Code (a top fifteen script on the 2007 list, which I figure I should get my hands on) is a time-traveling film that doesn’t suck. I guess we can start hyping Duncan Jones’ follow up to his much appreciated debut film Moon, as a top tier, anticipated project to look out for in Summit Entertainment’s 2011 campaign. With Jake Gyllenhaal already on board, THR reports that Vera Farmiga is in negotiations and Michelle Monaghan is set star in the pic which begins filming this March, in Montreal.
Written by Ben Ripley with a revision from Billy Ray, as part of an experimental government program to investigate a terrorist incident, a soldier (Gyllenhaal) finds himself in the body of an unknown commuter living and reliving a harrowing train bombing until he can find out who is responsible for it. Farmiga will play a hands-on communications officer controlling Gyllenhaal’s character named Colter, as he travels through time and space. Monaghan is a woman on the train with whom the man is involved romantically.
Farmiga would return to Montreal where she filmed Orphan – she is currently working on Malcolm Venville’s Henry’s Crime with Keanu Reeves, while Monaghan would have wrapped up her work or is close to doing so on Todd Phillips’s Due Date.
