So, while we wait for the SXSW screening to come around, or for those not heading Austinwards next week the 1st of April will suffice, here’s a new poster. It doesn’t match up to Olly Moss’s fine work but it’s diverting enough, though I can’t help but think it’s a little early 90s action thriller DVD cover. What exactly is that firing into Jake Gyllenhaal’s chest anyway? The future? A tiny train?
Think of the posters for Moon, then look at the various posters for Jones’ follow up – I can understand the need to sell the film to as many people as possible but if this was the first advertising I had seen then I’d be mentally adding it to my Lovefilm queue.
If you want a synopsis look down, if you want to skip the synopsis and take in the poster you can look down further,
Directed by Duncan Jones (MOON) SOURCE CODE centers on a soldier (Jake Gyllenhaal, JARHEAD) who, as part of an experimental government program to investigate a terrorist incident, finds himself in the body of an unknown commuter living and reliving a harrowing train bombing until he can find out who is responsible for it.
Empire have gifted this to the world, so you know who to thank.
