If you're looking for someone to portray a smart, professional woman, you could do a whole lot worse than Vera Farmiga.  The actress, who is currently appearing in Source Code, has joined the cast of Safe House, an action thriller starring Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds.  The film, which has already been shooting for over a month, is the English-language debut of Swedish director Daniel Espinonsa. 

If current estimates prove accurate, then Hop, the family film starring Russell Brand as the voice of the Easter Bunny, has earned not only the number one spot at the box office, but also the title of the biggest debut in 2011 so far.  Hop's projected haul of $38.1 million since Friday is about a million dollars above than previous 2011 title-holder Rango, which fell to eighth place in its fifth week of release, but is still the highest grossing film of 2011 so far with $113.8 million.

Opening in theaters on April 1st is the new film from Moon director Duncan Jones called Source Code. The film stars an excellent cast that includes  Jake Gyllenhaal (Donnie Darko), Michelle Monaghan (Mission: Impossible III), Vera Farmiga (The Departed), and Jeffrey Wright (Casino Royale). We recently had a chance to speak with several members of the cast including Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan, and Vera Farmiga, as well as director Duncan Jones about their new film, its intriguing story and spectacular visual effects. Please watch our exclusive interview to learn more about Source Code, which opens in theaters everywhere on Friday!

If you're not excited for Source Code, the second feature from director Duncan Jones, then you obviously haven't seen Moon.  Jones' first film announced at a new talent worth watching, and his follow-up looks to be a unique trip, as well.  The sci fi thriller Source Code stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a soldier who, through the wonders of modern technology, must repeatedly relive the last eight minutes of another man's life in order to foil a terrorist plot.  Summit Entertainment has made the first four and a half minutes of the film available through Yahoo Movies (via Coming Soon), so if you want to take a taste of Source Code, feel free to take a sample right here.

Duncan Jones made an auspicious feature debut with 2009's Moon, a quiet science fiction film starring Sam Rockwell as a lunar miner on the far side of the moon with only himself and a robot for company.  That film was a labor of love, written by Jones and made on a shoestring budget, but for his next film, the son of David Bowie is working from a screenplay by someone else, and he's working with a substantially higher budget.  Jones sat down with Wired to talk about Source Code, which stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a soldier repeatedly living the last eight minutes of another man's life in order to foil a terrorist attack.  Check out Jones' thoughts on Moon, Source Code, his lead actors, and his future in science fiction.

With not much more than a month until its April 1st debut, Summit Entertainment has released a second trailer Source Code starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Vera Farmiga, Michelle Monaghan, and Jeffrey Wright.  The sci-fi thriller is director and David Bowie-offspring Duncan Jones' follow-up to his unimpeachable feature debut, Moon.  Gyllenhaal stars as a soldier repeatedly reliving the last eight minutes of another man's life in an attempt to thwart a massive bombing in downtown Chicago.  The new trailer does a much better job of laying out the premise, so take a look right here.

If you've seen Moon, the first feature from director Duncan Jones, then you're probably anxious to get a peek at the director's follow-up, Source Code, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Vera Farmiga, Michelle Monaghan, and Jeffrey Wright.  The film is a sort of high tension sci fi action piece, with Gyllenhaal playing a soldier who, through some crazy technology, finds himself repeatedly reliving the last eight minutes of another man's life in order to find the suspect behind a bombing and prevent another, larger attack.  It's an intriguing idea, and today, IGN debuted the first clip from the film, which helps lay out the conceptual groundwork.  Take a look.

Duncan Jones made a big impression with his debut feature, Moon, starring Sam Rockwell, and his second film, Source Code, looks like another solid sci-fi thriller.  Today, Yahoo unveiled the film’s poster, which features Jake Gyllenhaal looking frantic and holding a gun, because if the lead character isn’t holding a gun on the poster, no one will know that the film contains action and/or excitement.  Check out the poster:

Part Groundhog’s Day and seemingly part Eagle Eye, the new Jake Gyllenhaal flick looks to be loaded with action and hopefully a little bit of suspense.

Summit Entertainment recently released the first trailer to Source Code. Directed by Duncan Jones (Moon), the film also stars Michelle Monaghan, Vera Farmiga and Jeffrey Wright. And if Jones can bring even half of the smarts he gave to Moon to his latest feature, we should be in for a treat.
