A few weeks ago the news came out that 60s British comic strip The Rise and Fall of the Trigan Empire was being turned into a movie. At the time, this slipped under our radar – lots of properties get optioned, but very few ever see the light of day as movies. Since then we’ve [...]
Duncan Jones’ Source Code, written by Ben Ripley and starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Michelle Monaghan, was a fantastic follow-up to his 2009 debut, Moon, taking almost quadruple its $32m. budget at the box office alone this spring. One of the film’s producers, Mark Gordon, has now sold a TV version of it to CBS, THR [...]
After making a fantastic debut in 2009 with Moon, winning himself a BAFTA for an Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director, or Producer, all eyes were on Duncan Jones to see how he would fare with his follow-up project. Source Code does not disappoint. There are few young British directors working at the moment [...]
On the 5th August, Super 8 will finally hit our shores, riding on a wave of critical praise from the other side of the Atlantic. Its combination of eighties youthful nostalgia (Stand by Me, Goonies) and Spielgburg-esque science fiction (Close Encounters, E.T) looks set to titillate young and old alike. However, Super 8 also acts [...]
We love posting some unofficial artwork here on HeyUGuys and these three creations from artist Lloyd Stas are too good to pass by. On his Flickr page (which we were pointed to by LFF and Quiet Earth) there’s a wonderful series of posters for Edgar Wright’s films, even one for his TV show Spaced and [...]
Mondo, the art devision of the world famous Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, have announced Wes Craven as the next director in their “Director’s Series”. Craven is the fourth director to be featured in this series, which has already payed homage to the films of Guillermo Del Toro, Duncan Jones and Zack Snyder. To top it off, [...]
The critical and commercial success of Source Code has made a lot of Duncan Jones fans happy. The director’s first film, Moon, was a triumphant debut and formed part of the resurgence of intelligent and commercially successful sci-fi seen in the last few years. All eyes were on his next move and Source Code, the [...]
Duncan Jones’ Moon is one of my favourite films of recent times so to say that I’m excited about seeing it, as well as ridiculously jealous of those who have seen it at previews already, would be something of an understatement. In advance of the film’s release Summit Entertainment have released an interesting infographic which [...]
We’ve teamed up with Optimum Releasing to offer 15 lucky readers the chance to win a pair of tickets to attend the ultimate Duncan Jones double bill screening of SOURCE CODE and MOON, to celebrate SOURCE CODE’s release in cinemas April 1st. SOURCE CODE and MOON are Duncan Jones’ only two cinematic features to date [...]
Before he dabbled with Source Code for his latest project Duncan Jones directed a sublime sci-fi movie Moon, I’m sure you’ve heard of it. The film’s existential themes and measured narrative pacing in no way lend themselves to a money spinning video game conversion for the XBox 360 or PS3, which makes this imagined adaptation [...]
Duncan Jones’ second film comes to us with a wave of expectation, carrying with it the hopes that the British director can follow up his award scooping debut Moon with something better, something to cement his reputation as one of the most exciting talents of this new century. Source Code, released on the 1st of [...]
I’m not sure how much I like the idea of seeing the five opening minutes of a film when we’re close to being able to see the whole thing. I’ve written and posted about Duncan Jones’ Source Code more than any other film in the last month or so, and I am really excited to [...]
I unfortunately got to SXSW a little too late to see Duncan Jones’ new movie, Source Code but from what we hear, it went down a treat! I guess we’ll just have to wait till it hits UK screenings now since it was the only showing of the movie. Instead, we have this brand new [...]
Yesterday I made the, frankly stupid, prediction that we’d post nothing more on Duncan Jones’ Source Code until it’s premiere at SXSW tonight. How wrong could I be? Three new stills and a featurette’s worth it seems, as that is what we have on offer for you today, and the stills have Jake Gyllenhaal getting [...]
While the world and his Gerty waits for the verdict on Duncan Jones’ follow up to Moon when his time bending thriller Source Code premieres in Austin tomorrow night word has escaped about his long awaited sci-fi project Mute. Set in the same universe as Moon, with an epilogue of sorts featuring the character of [...]
Two new images from Source Code for you this morning, including a decent look at the source code ‘chamber’ from which Jake Gyllenhaal jumps into the body of a man who died in a train bombing eight minutes before the fateful event. Living these eight minutes over and over Gyllenhaal’s character has to find the [...]
There has been rather a lot of Source Code content on the site of late, and while this presents no ethical problems as we’re very much looking forward to Moonman Duncan Jones’ next, there is increasingly a desire to actually see the film rather than be teased endlessly. So, while we wait for the SXSW [...]
Only a few short days until Duncan Jones runs through Austin, Texas with his time rewinding/face replacing/bomber finding epic Source Code, which has its premiere at SXSW. If you know HeyUGuys then you’ll know there is something of a love affair between us and Dr Jones and we’re looking forward to taking in the Austin [...]
Here’s the first clip from Duncan Jones’ new movie, Source Code which is his first movie since the fantastic Moon which was released last year. Source Code stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan, Vera Farmiga, Jeffrey Wright, Russell Peters and is released in the UK 11th March. If you’ve missed the two trailers which have been [...]
