Following up the critical (if not commercial) success of the award-winning film Moon, director Duncan Jones has teamed up with Jake Gyllenhaal to make the scifi thriller, Source Code.

Gyllenhaal stars as Captain Colter Stevens, a decorated soldier who wakes up to find himself in the body of another man who is doomed to die in a coming explosion. After experiencing the death of the man whose body he was using, Stevens discovers that he is part of a government experiment called “Source Code”, that can send him back in time to relive the last eight minutes of a person’s life. Stevens must then experience the same devastating incident over and over again in order to learn as much as possible to prevent a much worse attack on Chicago.

Stephen Lang gives into madness in Old Man’s first trailer

Marc Senter and Stephen Lang in Old Man.

Between Don't Breathe and the upcoming Avatar sequel, Stephen Lang is really cornering the market on intimidating older men. Appropriately enough, Lang is playing the title character in Old Man. Judging by the fact that he has chosen to live alone in the woods, we can reasonably assume that this old man doesn't want to make any new friends. That's why he's so apprehensive when Joe enters his life. Joe, as played by Marc Senter, claims to be a hiker who got lost in the woods. However, the old man doesn't trust strangers and he greets his visitor with a shotgun in the newly released trailer for the film.
