“And that’s where you really see where the problems lie…”
– Duncan Jones
Duncan Jones’s debut feature Moon (2009), a retro-1970s science-fiction/art-house epic that ingeniously managed to hit a lot of the same notes that Kubrick and Tarkovskiy hit despite a miniscule budget and having only one principal character (played by Sam Rockwell), nabbed Jones a BAFTA award for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer and dumptrucks full of other nominations and accolades.
His most recent feature, Source Code (starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan, Vera Farmiga and Jeffrey Wright) could be pitched as “Die Hard by way of Quantum Leap served in eight-minute repeating chunks of Groundhog Day.”
SuicideGirls talked to Jones (who is the son of rock god David Bowie) in Boston in a luxury hotel that used to be a prison, while Jones was getting texts from Gyllenhaal asking how things were going and two of the three devices brought to record the interview shit the bed. Warning, minor spoilers follow.
