Here is a little more of the back story of Source Code:
"Captain Colter Stevens wakes with a jolt to find himself on a commuter train heading into Chicago. Although the other passengers all seem to know him, he has absolutely no idea where – or even who – he is. The last thing Colter remembers is flying a helicopter mission in Iraq, but here he is in someone else’s life going through someone else’s morning commute. Before he can do anything an express train zooms by on the opposite track and a bomb explodes, seemingly killing Colter and all the other passengers.
Colter comes to in an isolation chamber, strapped to a seat, and wearing his military flight suit. He still has no idea what’s happening, except that he’s being spoken to by mission controller Carol Goodwin, who calmly recites a series of memory questions to which Colter is shocked to realize he knows the answers. He learns he’s part of an operation called “Beleaguered Castle,” but before he can progress any further, Goodwin starts up the machinery and suddenly Colter is back on the train, at exactly the same time he first appeared there, once again speeding through Chicago with the same group of commuters. Colter figures he’s in some kind of simulation exercise, with his task being to find the bomber on board the train before it goes off again. Living the explosion over and over, Colter must uncover the identity of the bomber, while also figuring out what the alternative universe of “Beleaguered Castle” is."
In the original script Source Code took place in New York City and Sean Fentress (who's body he jumps into) worked at the New York Public Library, on screen we know that the attack now takes place in Chicago, and Sean is a teacher. (Maybe Jake had enough time in the NY Public Library for TDAT). Another addition to the script is that Colter uses the second chance opportunities he gets to make peace with his father.
Now for seeing Jake? There will be more Jake on TV, with a third TV spot that was just released.
Want more than just 30 seconds? The word is that Jake will be on Jimmy Kimmel on March 23rd. New tattoo? Lego Colter? Or a Flava Flav accessory this time?
If seeing someone else asking the question is not enough. What about a chance to ask Jake a question?
This Saturday, (March 12) Moviefone will sit down with Jake and Michelle during SXSW to answer your questions.
You can leave a question you want to Jake to answer at the Moviefone site.
Submit your question in their Ask! box, including your name and location, by 12PM EST on Saturday, March 12. Once your question pops up on the screen, other users can vote on it. You can also vote on questions submitted by others. Then check back on Monday, March 28, to see if they answered your question.
And don't think SXSW will be the only premiere for Source Code. What's a movie without a Hollywood premiere? Yes Jake will be hitting the red carpet one more time.
