Henry’s Crime, starring Keanu Reeves, James Caan and Vera Farmiga, premiered at TIFF back in September ’10, but we’re just getting a trailer for the film now. Malcolm Venville (44 Inch Chest) directs from a script by Sacha Gervasi (Anvil!: The Story of Anvil). The film opens in the UK next week, and the trailer is after the break. Read More »
Summit Entertainment has released a UK movie trailer for Source Code, the sophomore feature from Moon director Duncan Jones on Heyuguys. The trailer begins much like the previously released domestic release, but varies a bit along the way and features a bunch of different footage along the way.
The script had high praise in industry circles and has a clever premise, basically a mystery thriller set in a ten minute span of time Groundhog Day-style. Jake Gyllenhall plays a soldier who is part of an experimental program to ferret out the origin of a terrorist attack on a train. His psyche is projected into the body of a passenger on the train, and he relives the attack multiple times as he tries to trace it back to the point of origin. Michelle Monaghan, Vera Farmiga and Jeffrey Wright are in the cast as well. The Source Code script has had some revisions done by Billy Ray but was originally written by Ben Ripley.
Watch the trailer embedded after the jump. Please leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Thanks to the ongoing American Film Market, we’ve got a bit more info about Source Code, the sophomore feature from Moon director Duncan Jones. We should be seeing a trailer within the next couple months, but until then this long, and possibly spoilerish synopsis will have to do. Read More »

Slow news day, more rumors. This time the wheel has come back around to The Dark Knight Rises, with word that three actresses have either been offered or auditioned for roles in Christopher Nolan‘s film. The rumor is good as a conversation starter more for the characters specified than for the names that are very tentatively attached to the roles.
Take this with a truck full of salt, but the rumor goes that Charlize Theron has been offered the role of Sarah Essen, and that Kacie Thomas and Vera Farmiga have auditioned for the role of Julie Madison. Why would those characters be noteworthy? Read More »

This is my favorite news so far today: Clint Mansell will provide the score for Source Code, the second film from director Duncan Jones. Mansell is the composer who has worked on all of Darren Aronofksy’s films, and whose score for Jones’ debut feature Moon was a tremendous contribution to that film’s atmosphere. Read More »

Nothing makes me happy in quite the same was as seeing a small, odd western come together with a top-notch cast. I’ve got new hope for a film called A Thousand Guns, based in part on the fact that Vera Farmiga has just signed on. The film, which is about “a preacher’s wife and her journey of revenge,” has a few fun-sounding elements, like a demon gun called El Rojo and a band of seemingly ninja-like assassins. And in the middle of it all is Farmiga, as a missionary turned powerful gunslinger. Read More »
Vera Farmiga quickly broke into the big time. Her early credits came in the late ’90s, and by 2004 she was working with Jonathan Demme (his Manchurian Candidate remake) and then there was The Departed. Up in the Air landed her an Oscar nomination, and she’s continuing to work in movies that aren’t quite mainstream: Henry’s Crime, Madonna’s W.E. (which sounds more intriguing with each nugget of info) and Duncan Jones’ Source Code.
Now she’ll make her directorial debut with Higher Ground, in which she’ll also star. Read More »
