Vera Farmiga and Michelle Monaghan are lining up to join the cast of Source Code, the sophomore film from Duncan Jones (Moon). The sci-fi movie stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a soldier recruited into a program where he is repeatedly inserted, via some technological wonder, among the passengers of a train just before it is attacked. He must continually live through the bombing until he can discover its perpetrator. Heat Vision reports that Vera Farmiga would portray the communications officer in charge of the process Gyllenhaal’s character undergoes. Michelle Monaghan’s character is on the train itself, and is romantically involved with the persona Gyllenhaal’s character inhabits.
Ben Ripley (The Watch) wrote the original draft of the script, then Billy Ray (Shattered Glass, Breach) made revisions. Production is scheduled to begin in March, so a late 2010 release would be the earliest Source Code might be released.
