Release date for Source Code and first official picture.

Source Code was included in Octobers issue of Empire with a release date! It was mentioned in the magazine's list of '10 movies we want to see right now'. With the release put as MARCH 11th 2011.

This scan and info was from www.wetdarkandwild.com

Duncan Jones tells Empire '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...'

Jake Gyllenhaal was apparently the one 'who pushed him to board the sci-fi thriller'.

Duncan describes Jake Gyllenhaal's character briefly as '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's real or not...When it was brought to me it was serious, quite cerebral, dark and depressing, My take was, "This could actually be quite fun..."'

The director also tells us of Paul Hirsch (editor) and how he is 'thrilled to be working with him'. However it was Paul Hirsch who called Duncan the genius after suggesting something during the editing process, which made his year.

Also this...

...appeared at Comic Con a few weeks ago. Not quite sure what it is,early promo material perhaps.

Off topic (sort of) I went to a screening of Moon at the BFI on tuesday. As a bonus there was an entertaining Q & A afterwards with Duncan Jones, Gavin Rothery (Concept artist and VFX supervisor), Hideki Arichi (Art Director) and Barrett Heathcode, VFX Editor. A year after release Moon still filled 450 seats (quickly too, after being upgraded from NFT2 to NFT1) which gives you an idea of the growing popularity of this film, and it will continue to grow. If you want to watch the Q&A it has been uploaded at the blog MovieBrit. Again huge thanks to WDW for this.

Thanks to WDW again for the picture scan and heads up! Source Code picture from Digital Spy Movies.

Source Code.

I am fairly new to this, so bear with me. I have two other places already up and running here and here but I think it would easier and more effective to post the bulk of everything in one place.

Source Code is being edited right now so things a fairly quiet. I have backlog of things from the past couple of months so I will do a couple of posts over the next few days to get the ball rolling.

We got the first glimpse of Source Code March 11th 2010 when pictures were released of Jake Gyllenhaal and Michelle Monaghan on the set in Montreal.

On the 9th April we got a second lot of set pictures but this time in Chicago.

On the 4th of April there were more pictures from Montreal including Director Duncan Jones.

On Friday April 30th Source Code wrapped. Shot in just 42 days! (thanks to Duncan for tweeting me this)

There is a whole album of set pictures on the Film Source Code facebook page. I suppose you could say there are mild spoilers, so here is a mild warning.

More tomorrow.

Thanks to ihj for the pictures.
