Not only is Jake going to be at SXSW for the premiere of Source Code, he will be participating in a panel discussion along with Michelle and Duncan.
Jake and Michelle Monaghan will be on hand, along with their director Duncan Jones ("Moon"), to discuss the time-twisting and mind-bending "Source Code." The panel, called "Straight From The Source (Code)," will also be the opening night film for this year's SXSW. The heavily-buzzed flick (which also stars Vera Farmiga) is about a man who relives the last eight minutes of another man's life before he perishes in a train explosion; with such a premise, "Source Code" will doubtlessly garner quite a few questions from the movie savvy crowd. 
SXSW has a impressive list of movies this year, and it all starts off with Source Code opening the festival on March 11th with it's World Premiere.
Jake may run into another former co-star while in Austin (not just the one from TDAT). Paul Reubens aka Pee Wee Herman will be also one of the many panels and sessions during the 5 day film part of the event, including Catherine Hardwicke’s Directing Workshop, the Ain’t It Cool News 15th Anniversary Panel, The Female Funny: Is it Different for Girls, and Did You Kill Anyone? Reality in War Movies.
Wonder if Jake and Pee Wee will make a bet on if and when Nailed ever comes out. The better bet is they both do "Deep in the Heart of Texas" (Come on Jakey - you know you want to )
Now if it was Austin and Pee Wee it would be Tequila. Not just for the drink, or the dancing but for the shoes.

Is this your first trip to Austin, and what are your thoughts? No, I've been here before. It's great. I've just spent a very short time here, I've spent one day here, and I had to come back. What I experienced when I came here last time, it was really, really hot, but the school is great, and from every person I've run into all over the country, when I've said to I've been to Austin, if they've been here, they say, 'You have to go there, it's the best city in the world.' I've heard everybody say that about Austin, so this trip is long overdue.
How much of a college football fan are you?
I'm a pretty big fan. I'm not a huge college football fan, but I watch a lot of the big games. I have to say I'm a little biased to basketball, but I love all sports. I loved the Rose Bowl last year. It was unbelievable. I've seen it about six times. (Hmmm wonder who wanted to watch that six times... a Longhorn fan?)
You're from L.A. Who were you rooting for?
I can say that I'm definitely not rooting for Ohio State (laughing). All I can say is that every play that I saw in that game was just electric. It was extraordinary from both sides. To me, at a certain point, it was like they both really did win, and then when Texas won, Texas won, but they both were winning the whole time. It was an amazing game. If I spend more time in Austin, I'll become a Texas fan.
Guess he did and he has.
The Austin movie scene is really growing. What are your thoughts on that?
I know about the festival, which really is picking up. I think, creatively, it's an amazing city. I have friends who are filmmakers who are here and are working on documentaries, and who, through The University, have been making documentaries and making films and writing screenplays. It's amazing here. There seems to be a real emphasis on sports here and a real emphasis on the creative, which I think is not like many places. There are a lot of filmmakers and actors that live here, and they love it.
Is the independent film/documentary industry one that you would like to participate in? That's definitely what I love the most. The first types of film that were casting me were independent films, and I believe that's where real cutting edge, real interesting work is being done. I think it's where faults and the real side of what's human, which is difficulty and struggle, is shown more than in big Hollywood films. I think it's a real struggle to make films that show imperfection when people are spending a lot of money. Also, it's just nice because it's not as big of a risk. There are certain movies I've made for nothing, and there's a huge profit side to it if it becomes something people see. To me, it's a more interesting world, but I also do big films.
