Source Code

I just saw the trailer to this new Jake Gyllenhaal movie titled "Source Code". The movie looks like it has nothing to do with actual source code, but more to do with bombs.

When decorated soldier Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) wakes up in the body of an unknown man, he discovers he's part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. In an assignment unlike any he's ever known, he learns he's part of a government experiment called the "Source Code," a program that enables him to cross over into another man's identity in the last 8 minutes of his life. With a second, much larger target threatening to kill millions in downtown Chicago, Colter re-lives the incident over and over again, gathering clues each time, until he can solve the mystery of who is behind the bombs and prevent the next attack. 

Basically, Jake lives the last eight minutes of another guy's life, and relives it over and over until he can figure out the identity of the bomber. And the kicker, he gets to live these 8 minutes each time with the other guy's wife *bow chika wow wow*. This movie is The Matrix, Ground Hog's Day, Inception, and Sophie's Choice all rolled into one big fat budget movie.

Movie comes out April Fool's day.
