2011 SXSW Opening Night Film – Duncan Jones’ SOURCE CODE

For all you kids out there still sitting on the fence about whether or not to attend SXSW this year… here’s your excuse to blow that tax refund check!

Duncan Jones’ SOURCE CODE — his follow up film to the critically-acclaimed MOON — will be the opening night film of the 2011 South by Southwest Film Festival. That’s right! We shall all now rejoice!

From SXSW:

It’s always a thrill for us to announce our opening night film, and this year is no exception. It gives us great pleasure to reveal that Duncan Jones’ Source Code will open SXSW Film 2011.

SXSW 2011 runs March 11-20.

Synopsis:

When decorated soldier Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) wakes up in the body of an unknown man, he discovers he’s part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. In an assignment unlike any he’s ever known, he 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. With a second, much larger target threatening to kill millions in downtown Chicago, Colter re-lives the incident over and over again, gathering clues each time, until he can solve the mystery of who is behind the bombs and prevent the next attack. Filled with mind-boggling twists and heart-pounding suspense, Source Code is a smart action-thriller directed by Duncan Jones (Moon) also starring Michelle Monaghan (Eagle Eye, Due Date), Vera Farmiga (Up in the Air, The Departed), and Jeffrey Wright (Quantum of Solace, Syriana).

SOURCE CODE is in theaters April 15, 2011. Visit the official site for more — http://enterthesourcecode.com and find them on Facebook HERE.
