Opening this weekend is Summit Entertainment’s sci-fi thriller Source Code. Directed by Duncan Jones (who previously made the incredible Moon), the film stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan, Vera Farmiga, and Jeffrey Wright. If you aren’t familiar with the plot, Gyllenhaal stars as a soldier who wakes up in the body of a stranger on a Chicago commuter train and “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.” If you’re nervous that Jones was a one hit wonder, don’t be. Source Code is an intelligent thriller that’s definitely worth your time. You can read Scott’s review here. I also definitely recommend it.
A few days ago I covered the Los Angeles press day and I spoke to Jones about t-shirts, what’s his karaoke song, the challenge of editing Source Code, how tough was it to settle on a project after the success of Moon, SXSW, what will be on the DVD/Blu-ray, deleted scenes, and he talks about his next film which he is writing right now. Says it’s an original sci-fi story. Hit the jump to watch:

Great interview! Excited to hear what his next project is. He made it sound very interesting. Sounds like he’s hoping for a big budget.
Its so great to have Jones and Blomkamp pumping out original sci fi ideas. Not enough good sci fi if you ask me. Jones seems like a real down to earth guy too. Can’t wait to see source code.
I hope he gets his dad into the game be it as an actor or composing the score or something. Too much talent for one family.
Could u image him and Blomkamp teaming up , now that’s something i want to see.
What a great guy. Really energetic, multi-talented and friendly. Jones and Blomkampf really are two of the most exciting mainstream directors working today.
I love how I Am the One and Only is in the movie.
Yo aun necesito aprender mas sobre todo esto para poder elegir la opcion mas de acuerdo para mi. Actualmente busco informacion sobre lo que llaman de la “dieta dominguera”.
