Duncan Jones. Director of dope-ass Moon and fun-enough Source Code has talked about shooting a cyberpunk film for a hot minute. It seems like he was getting ready to actualize the product. And then Warcraft happened. But thankfully for those of us who have been holding out hope that the project will materialize, it seems Jones want to shoot Mute prior to Orcs and Wizards drops next year.

Fucking forget Tom Cruise. This stunning science-fiction rendition of Groundhog’s Day (also forget Source Code which is sort of the same idea) features a bad ass Emily Blunt mauling all sorts of foes with a sword and mech equipment and shit. I am so fucking sold.

I dug Source Code. I love Duncan Jones. I’m totally not interested in a Source Code television show.

Duncan Jones is one of my favorite up and coming directors. Moon is one of my favorite movies of the past five years, and Source Code was enjoyable. What I’m now sweating is what Jones has been calling his ‘homage to Blade Runner’, talking about it even before making Source Code.

Recently Jones met with WETA to discuss this third flick of his.

I’m damp.

Moon was fucking phenomenal. Source Code was good, fun, solid sci-fi. Duncan Jones is a current favorite of mine. Now he could be doing ‘The Wolverine’?

There’s an early episode of Quantum Leap, it might even be the pilot, where Sam Beckett leaps into the past and, despite being warned not to by Al, calls his dad. In Source Code, director Duncan Jones delivers an obvious nod to this heavy Leap moment – even having Scott Bakula voice the dad of Jake Gyllenhaal’s Colter character. That great little moment in the film is just one of the reasons to give up an hour and half of your life and go see Source Code – despite it’s flawed final minutes.

Jones’ sophomore scifi effort (his first being 2009’s bitchin’ Moon) also features a male protagonist who should stop trusting “the man.” Colter is an army helicopter pilot who awakens to find himself on the Chicago commuter rail, sitting across from a woman he’s never met who keeps calling him Steve. Manic and confused, Colter tries to make of sense of his Twilight Zone plight…and that’s when the train blows up.

The second trailer for Duncan Jones’ upcoming flick Source Code dropped today. He’s only directed one movie, but I’m already a frothing Jones fanboy. If you use your powers of intellect, you’ll figure out that means I’m pretty excited for anything regarding this movie. The premise is gimmicky sci-fi, and that’s cool by me. Jake Gyllenhaal plays a character who is inserted into the last eight minutes of a man’s life on a train that was victim of a bombing. He has to try over and over again to figure out who the culprit is, while he falls in love with an obviously doomed passenger.

Cue meditations on fate, destiny, the ability to change the future, et cetera.

It also reminds me a lot of Assassin’s Creed and the animus, but that’s another story.

Hit the jump for the trailer.
