I'm having Deja Vu of Groundhog Day.

ZING. but srsly, I'm pretty proud of myself on this one. Feel free to build on it guys.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Now this looks good! Why is Duncan Jones the only director willing to take a chance on good non-superhero SF? He's Kubrick's heir.

Vera Farmiga is yummy.

And here I thought it would finally be a movie about a computer programmer with superhuman c++ abilities.

A man can dream...

Quantum leap?

Deja Vu (plus) Quantum Leap (plus) Groundhog Day = Source Code*

But seriously, I don't get the title of the movie? It has what to do with "source code"? I know that's what they're calling the machine that does whatever it does that, but why?

And is he actually going back in time? Or is it just like a "Matrix" simulation he's popping into?

* = for some reason it wont let me do a "plus sign"

Looks like it will be rubbish. One of those gimmicky high-concept ideas that doesn't really work. Reminds me of Seven Days and that film with Denzel Washington.

2 more comments have been lost in the ether at this killed duplicate.

There's a trick to it.

It won't show up the first time, but if you edit your post and save it (even without changing anything) then the + will display normally.

Looked like a good idea until he said he wanted to rescue the girl. Bloody girls. Ruining my scifi.

i was honestly surprised to see people in the comments saying they thought this was going to be good. this is about as nonsensical as a science fiction concept can get and the fact that they're throwing romance in there is the nail in the coffin. i especially like how he is experiencing something impossible and is just blurting out everything he is thinking. IM CAPTAIN COLTER STEVENS WHAT AM I DOING ON A TRAIN? I HAVE NO INTERNAL MONOLOGUE GUH UGH GUH WHY DO I LOOK DIFFERENT IN THE MIRROR, GIRLIDONTKNOW?

then he dies and pops into his own body and they explain the whole thing to him...they send him back to the train and the first thing he says is IM ON THE SAME TRAIN BUT NOT THE SAME TRAIN. HEY YOURE THAT GIRL I SAW THE FIRST TIME I DIED WHEN I WAS HERE EARLIER DID YOU KNOW YOURE GOING TO DIE????

"what is the source code?"
"it's a computer program, captain."

geez, i bet the captain was all like, "isn't source code actually the written language of a program before compilation? were you just looking for a confusing name or did you somehow create the most incredible technology ever without realizing what source code is?"

what a dummy!

aghh, we need to stop terrorists from destroying the earth! i have invented a device called the Laser Beam that will allow us to become ghost men who walk the earth in an alternate dimension called the Time Machine where we will interact with the essential energies of man and uncover access to the inner places of the very thing we call a SOUL. in this intangible place we will expose the root of all existence and will revel in the beauty of the universe and all that is and ever was and we will FIND OSAMA BIN LADEN'S HIDEOUT

ahem. ok, i'm done.

>> ^solecist:

ahem. ok, i'm done.
no, keep going, i need a few more paragraphs for my next movie pitch.

Hahahahaa, you read my mind! Oh wait, did you go into the Source Code and run a Decompiler on the Dynamics Matrix so you could read my mind? Oh no! I have to invert my Internets now!

Seriously though, best comment on the sift!

Ummm... so each time he goes back, he can have a different experience? But that doesn't make any sense; an existing memory can't be altered. Moon was interesting, but the concept for this one sounds pretty absurd.

"As always, you have 8 minutes."

"Dammit woman it's just source code it hasn't been compiled yet. Please god don't send me back into limbo. The program doesn't do anythGNAAAAAHHHH"

I'm a pro at 'suspension of disbelief' whilst distracted by shiny objects and flashing lights.

... and those were some of the flashiest lights I've seen in a while.

I think this looks good. I mean, after moon i'm willing to give him a chance on anything, it was a phenomenal that i didn't see coming.

We now enter the age of the Inception themed movies. The next two years will be filmed from within the actors skulls.

As we agree that the title makes no freaking sense how about some alternatives?

I propose;

Breakpoint
Variable Out of Scope
Invalid Procedure

or my favourite

Another Crappy Jake Gyllenhaal film

What about: "CIRCUIT BREAKER!"

"Spaghetti Code"

"Infinite Loop"

The film is called Source Code? Seriously? It's like they've chosen the name to draw the geeks in but as soon as any self-respecting geek sees this trailer they're going to wonder where the relationship with programming factors in...

>> ^fujiJuice:
Quantum leap?

I was thinking the plot seems like a twist on the classic Quantum Leap formula!

Looks like something I'd really enjoy, but goodness gracious the title perturbs the heck out of me.

He's INSIDE the source code? SERIOUSLY?

Source code is just plain old text compiled into a executable program (or executed by an interpreter), not something that someone can be inside. Every time they say "You're IN the source code," I'm just picturing him in a pile of paper with programming language all over it or maybe like they shrunk him down and digitized him so he can walk around on a computer screen inside an editor like Notepad++ or an IDE like Eclipse.

Oh well. They title movies for the masses. This was my same issue with the new Karate Kid movie (which is about a boy learning Kung Fu). Crikey. That's Hollywood for you.

Oooh OOOh I can play!

Divide By Zero

Object Reference Not Set

You Dun Goofed

I got a million of them...

I like "Object Reference Not Set". That's good.

Oooh... What about "404". I can see that on a Hollywood poster with maybe some guns and a huge tidal wave.

Did I just watch the whole movie?

According to this movie, in the future, fast computers can do infinite loops in just a few milliseconds.

"Infinite Loop"

Hold on captain! I'll make a GUI interface using Visual BASiC to track the IP Address!
nah, this could be entertaining!
