Source Code, 2011
Director: Duncan Jones
Cinematography: Don Burgess
This feels like exactly where we’re supposed to be, doesn’t it?
If I had 8 minutes to go back in time I would.......
Not change a thing!
Every single thing I've ever done has brought me here, with the person I love and respect, living fully the life we now share together. This is why I personally feel its important to make good decisions (from the smallest to the most important) based on your own principles (hopefully they're generally good) whilst still respecting the laws of the land. Basically, constantly strive to do good things, surround yourself with good people/environments, and well, life will too, be good...therefore, no need for regrets.
Since the "traveling tours" for Source Code have come to a close, thinking the blog may as well. We still have possible release dates for dvds/blu rays for the film, but still don't have them yet. Meantime, I'll see if there are any little bits I can add, maybe even a video, if I can get my Youtube to work again...
Hope you guys are still enjoying the fun film, still spreading the word, and are still having fun sharing the little traveling family circus we have created...its only the beginning.

Whatever you choose to do, have a nice weekend.
Aw...remembering the Cinema Society and Coach Screening in New York. It was such a lovely evening with good company with such good vibes.
Have you guys been spreading the word? I know its still playing in theaters, so you have no excuse! ;)
SOURCE CODE! Go SEE it if you haven't already!!
6th - Rome So here we are in the magnificent city of Rome, staying at one of the most beautiful hotels in the city, gorgeous sunny weather, my beautiful girlfriend by my side and what am I doing? Sitting in a dark, sticky room doing TV interviews with Jake. Not that I dont love Jake; he's a laugh a minute, but really... Rome! Sun! Girl friend! We've got a translator here; a lovely woman. A little bit crackers, but a very good laugh. Jake and I cant help giggling over how much she really gets into the part whenever she translates what we say. Photo-call next, and Im starting to pick up some of Jake's posing techniques. Haven't quite got the "serious" look down though, yet; tend to grin like a naughty schoolboy every time someone points a camera at me. The photo-calls are amusing. Basically you stand with your back to a wall, while a horseshoe of photographers yell in unison, trying to get your attention. Everyone wants that "eyes in the lens" shot. The photo-call may not be very dignified, but it does keep me amused, which makes me grin even more... Damn! Really, Jake. How do you keep up that serious look through all this silliness? Quick drive to another part of town to go to a cinema where we have a press conference. Our translator is a riot; Jake is telling a story about being a kid & how he used to make his toys talk with silly voices. He reenacts the endearing moment, "oh hello, Mr. Fox, how are you Mr. Bottle?" in a goofy voice. The translator starts telling the story for the audience in italian, and she's copying Jake's goofy voice acting giving the audience the full experience in Italian; I just cant help myself... next answer, Im throwing one daft voice after another into the mix, just to see if she'll stick with it, and bless her cotton socks, she does! Audience seemed to enjoy it too. That's the sign of a true professional! Computer games are good for you. I know that comes a bit out of the blue, but its true! I'll tell you why... On the drive back from the press conference, I started to feel like I knew where I was! How, you ask? Assassin's Creed 2! Yes! The computer game! I already knew Roman streets! Bloody brilliant. Lots of pasta for lunch at a beautiful little cafe in town, more TV interviews with Jake and me, and then, finally, a short rest. As soon as head hits pillow, it's time to get in the car and head off for dinner. On our drive to the restaurant, we drive up a hill over looking all of Rome. Our Driver mentions that thist "romantic spot" is a place where, "Women brought there cannot say no." I don't think he meant it to sound like that... sounds a bit "rapey." More pasta at dinner and then we head to the airport for a late night fight to Berlin. Its about 11pm. 7th - Berlin We get to the hotel at about 2am. Grab some sleep, and then we're off again at 10. Two hours of print one-on-ones and then a trip to do the German equivalent of NPR radio. The chap Im talking with has to be one of the fastest talkers I've ever heard! If they ever start advertising "micr-machines" again, he's their man! (look up "micromachines fast talker," if that reference makes no sense to you.) Back to the hotel for lots of roundtables with groups of press. I find I've started engaging in an experiment into cross-cutural humor. Trying to find what amusing anecdotes cross borders. Found a few, but its funny... you never can tell whats going to miss. I tell a story about how thrilled I was to do Source Code, as it was a chance to work with more that one actor. It slayed in Madrid, but gets polite smiles here. You know, its moments like this that you really have to doff your cap to Mr. Bean. Big Berlin red carpet shindig to end the day, and then dinner. Did we eat sausage? You bet your sweet patootie we ate sausage! I went for a schnitzel too! It's the end of Thursday now. Im starting to pay more attention to the box office numbers coming out from the US and UK; I get email updates daily from Summit and Optimum... I also get a bevy of producers comments about what the numbers mean. The consensus is that we are doing well, especially with this bloody rabbit movie defying all logical predictions. We'll have to see how things hold up next week. For now though, Source Code is making its money back... not Inception good yet, but a damn solid start. Another late night, but never mind. We only have to get up at 5am. 8th - London Wake up at 5:00 am to catch early flight to London. Straight into press... a LOT of press. I am seriously running on fumes by the end of it. I cant even remember how many people I have talked to, but my angel comes and helps me up to the room at the end of it, and I grab a quick shut eye before we have to head out to the Odeon in Leicester Square for our evening Q&A. Frankly, Im delighted that anyone turned up to the Odeon screening! This London trip was put together so late minute, I thought there was a good chance no one would turn up! Not to mention the weather is bloody GORGEOUS here! Truly! I mean its Al Gore, global weirding, beautiful! I just assumed that everyone would be too drunk on Pimms, and passed out in the park after picnicking all day, but no. You are very, very sweet for turning up. Q&A was a good 'un, and the lovely Ro and I decided we would wander back to our hotel by foot. Tell you something... after 9 months in Montreal, and nearly a year in Los Angeles, I had forgotten just how absolutely INSANE Soho is on a Friday night. My blue nan!! Gomorrah ain't got nothing on this town! I saw... I saw... well, lets just say there isn't much left to the imagination when you're making your way through the crowds packing Old Compton Street late on a Friday night. God bless you, London. They say a man who is bored in London is bored of life. If that's true, then a man who doesn't blush on Old Compton street, is probably quite a worldly gay man.
Spain came and went. It was TV and PRINT all day, ending with a cinema intro with Duncan and Jake. Everything went smoothly, by the book, all was normal, except for one thing...ALL WAS IN SPANISH! Such a shame I paid NO attention to my Spanish teachers in school, coulda been useful.
Wasn't able to try the churros and hot chocolate, so I think I'll make it up to myself when I get home to some Costco Churros and Yogurt. So delicious.
When we were driving to the airport, we saw crowds of senior citizens gathered around different theaters...told it was Senior Citizen Tuesday! Which meant: CHEAP DISCOUNTED theater tickets! How LUCKY are they??!! That's at least ONE thing to look forward to as the years pass! Awesome.
Day ended at about 7pm in Madrid, and off to Rome we went. And having only been here for about 4 hours now, I already love it. Chowed down on a box of pizza each, we're good for the night. Tomorrow we do it all over again, surprised?
----------- From Duncan's P.O.V. :
Madrid! What I would do to be able to actually spend some TIME in these remarkable cities we are visiting! But no... its work, work, work and then off to the next place. Fortunately I get a taste of these cities by being able to talk to the lovely film buffs who come in for the daily junkets that are the reason I am on this trip. I have to say, I really do love Spanish people. Kind-hearted, generous and funny people. All of them! Not a one to complain about... oh, ok. Maybe Franco. Fortunately he doesn't review films. The big difference with today's junket was that the interviews were done in... wait for it... Spanish! That may seem pretty unsurprising, and it may well be, but let me tell you, trying to answer a question at a slow enough pace for a translator to do their thing on the fly, is very unsettling. You try it! Trust me, you wont be so cocky next time I have a whinge. Fortunately my producer was a lovely woman who was incredibly good at her job, but it isn't half difficult to concentrate, when you are trying to talk about something, and someone else is jabbering away in a different language right next to you. The rest of the day followed what has pretty much become the routine now; 4 minutes TV interviews for a couple of hours, then some one on ones, followed by a series of roundtables. Don't tell Rodene, but I actually quite like doing it! Good questions, and then we were down to the local cineplex for a preview screening of the film where Jake and I gave a wee intro. Imagine this bit cut by Guy Ritchie's editor... Exit cinema/shut car door/pull up at airport/take off/ land in... Rome! 2000 years past its prime, and the city still oozes machismo. If cities had knobs, Rome would be bruising its knee. Haven't had a chance to see it in daylight hours, but from the twinkling jewel seen through the window of our plane, to being driven entirely too fast down the winding walled streets, Rome is spectacular. We turned up at a beautiful hotel in the centre of town, with a stack of pizzas waiting for us, gorged till tumulous, and poured myself a very manly bath. In Rome, even pampering has a hairy chest. Tomorrow we begin the Italian Job. I shall be channeling my best Michael Caine. Oh yeah.. finally bit. Been downloading and playing new games for my lovely IPad2. They are superb... but there is no denying it; my god, the Amiga was some games machine! I miss that dreamy piece of silicon and plastic! Love you Commodore. You're missed.
What do you do when you find you have nearly two free days in LA, other than a few phoners and a premier to go to? Well, I don't know about you, but I do some gardening, download some games on Steam and then spend most of my time trying to forget that we are less than a week away from potentially the most important weekend of my life.
Its crazy how the film business channels your focus on to a single weekend... 18 months of hard work focussed on one opening weekend. The thing is, at this stage, there is very little left for me to do. The film is done, I can Q&A to my hearts content, but really, its all about how many people show up on April 1st, 2nd and 3rd. I don't mean to get heavy with you all, but its kind of stressful!
Fortunately the reaction so far from people who have seen the film has been really good. Bless 'em! I can only hope these "sourcey" ambassadors will spread the good word, and get us some decent opening week numbers. I'm going to be positive though. It feels good so far... who knows though! See what directors have to go through? I have a feeling this weekend could determine if my next film is going to be one for me, or one for them. Just keen to avoid being left looking the April fool. Be good!
