Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Duncan Jones' MOON was one of the big surprises of the year, a return to an old school filmmaking style ala SILENT RUNNING using great practical effects to decorate a sparse, smart script.

It seems Mr. Jones has decided on his sophomore effort, a movie at Summit called SOURCE CODE. I hadn't heard of this film before this news broke, but I know a few of my online colleagues have read the script and fawn over it. That doesn't surprise me. Jones is a smart guy and he is working on his own material, so this project would have be too good to turn down in order to pull him away from his stuff.

Jake Gyllenhaal is in talks to star according to a story at The Hollywood Reporter.

The one-liner doesn't grab me... a soldier wakes up in the body of a commuter who must solve the mystery of a train explosion... but I trust there's more to it than the AVATARy/DEJA VU hybrid sounding one-line description.

As long as Jones brings the same '70s-ish approach to the material I'm all good with him doing whatever movie he wants.
