Director: Duncan Jones
Writer(s): Ben Ripley
Producers: Mark Gordon, Philippe Rousselet and Jordan Wynn
Distributor: Summit Ent.
The Gist: This centers on a soldier (Jake Gyllenhaal) who, as part of an experimental government program to investigate a terrorist incident, 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.….(more)
Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan, Jeffrey Wright and Vera Farmiga
List Worthy Reasons…: You take breakout filmmaker with a small scaled hit sci-fi film from Sundance (Moon), throw him a top 2007 Blacklist script (also a sci-fi flick) and hope that more money, location shooting and a formidable foursome in Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan, Jeffrey Wright and Vera Farmiga won’t taint the talent/process. We figure that Duncan Jones’ muscles will be good enough to handle big ideas regardless of the scale thus making this twisty/turny popcorn flick worth the detour.
Release Date/Status?: Opening night film at SXSW. April 1st release via Summit.
