Source Code has an interesting premise – what if you could go back in time, via by being inserted into the mind of another person for the last eight minutes of that person’s life? It’s a thriller with big ideas, executed by director Duncan Jones, whose low budget Moon demonstrated his natural facility for science fiction/fantasy. With Source Code, he’s been given more money to work with, and more actors (since Moon was largely the Sam Rockwell show). With a cast that includes Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan, Vera Farmiga, and Jeffrey Wright, Jones keeps the story on track, and drives it home. Here, Jones talks about his influences and some of the easter eggs hidden in the code.

Dianne Annunziato is accusing a Dell technician of becoming a virtual peeping Tom during a support call by remotely turning on her webcam.
"First, the technician started asking me what time of day it was," she said.
When she looked at her screen a minute later, Annunziato said she could see herself in a little box.
"He turned on the webcam; he never asked, 'May I? Can I?' Not a word, he just turned it on," she said.
All I can say is, if I was in the woman's place during this call, the technician would have seen some naked adult content regardless of the time of day. Fortunately, the Annunziato was wearing clothes, but she was quick to point out the problem with all of this to the technician's supervisor.
"I said, 'I could have been sitting here undressed,' and the supervisor laughed, and I just sat there in shock," she said.
So far, the technician's side of the story has not been heard—but Dell claims that they are currently investigating the incident.

Erin Andrews, the ESPN reporter unknowingly videotaped naked in a hotel room, is not the first victim of so-called video voyeurs, but according to other victims, few states have laws to protect their rights.
The video of Andrews, 31, posted online last week has become an Internet sensation. Searches for the clip -- since removed from most video sharing sites but which continues to live in a cached version on the Web -- topped Google's most searched items for two days.
"We are focused on putting this predator behind bars. This conduct is unacceptable in a civilized society," Andrews' lawyer, Marshall B. Grossman, told "Good Morning America."
For now, however, investigators do not even know who "this predator" is. Furthermore, the hotel and its location remain unknown, making the search for the perpetrator even more difficult.
It is unclear if the video was shot through a specially made hole in a wall or door, or through the hotel door's peephole.
A cached clip found by ABC News, but of unconfirmed authenticity, shows grainy images of a naked woman whom the camera seems to be following, indicating the camera may be handheld.
If investigators are able to find the Peeping Tom behind the camera, there still might be a question of whether he can be prosecuted.
Laws banning video voyeurism vary from state to state.
While a host of technological devices, from cell phones to tiny cameras, make videotaping easy, prosecuting these crimes in some places is still difficult.
Today, 19 states have laws that ban surreptitiously recording someone without that person's consent.
