I just saw director Duncan Jones’ SOURCE CODE for a second time this week, and can honestly saw I enjoyed it even more after a repeat viewing. When you’re coming off an incredible film like MOON, especially following it up with more sci-fi fare, it’s safe to say the bar has been set very high. Thankfully, this new effort is very pleasing and acted beautifully by the impressive cast. Jones has definitely proven he’s not a one-hit wonder. At the South by Southwest Film Festival this year, I had the pleasure of sitting down with stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan and Vera Farmiga, and even got to do a follow-up interview with Duncan in the process (see my earlier SOURCE CODE interview with Duncan Jones HERE). It’s always nice when you meet popular actors, and find them to be pleasant and easy to talk to… believe me, it’s not always the case. Check out the video interviews below. Thanks to Ric Mulligan for helping cut this video. Big thanks to Summit Entertainment, Katie Scullin, Ryan Fons, and Ramzy Zeidan, who were incredibly accomodating… and huge thanks to the fine folks at SXSW 2011.
