This movie sounds so good, I can't wait to see it
 
random hiking backpack? Is he renewing his character from Zodiac who was and "eagle scout, first class."

may be a random thing to bring up but I always hated that line because it doesn't make anysense, Eagle Scout and First Class are two different ranks. There was a point in time when Eagle Scout wasnt its own rank and it was possible to be both, but this was in the early 30's or earlier, and Gyllenhaal's character was what 30 in the 1960's. I shut up now, because I'm babblingover a completely throw away line in a completely different movie.
 
A smaller but clearer pic and the synopsis.

Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) 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 (Vera Farmiga), 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 onboard 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. Adding to the puzzle, Colter uses the second chance opportunities to make peace with his father, and to find romance with a fellow passenger on the train.

That sounds so Philip K. Dick-ian that it makes me grin. Bring on this flick!
 
Thanks Crockett for that synopsis. Sounds intriguing! :woot:
 
I'm still stoked for this film. I loved Moon, here's hoping.
 
Awesome, awesome, trailer. I was afraid this film would have a hard time marketing the premise as it's so often done. Thankfully the editor knew what they were doing. I can easily see people getting hyped for it.

I found Moon overrated (albeit good), but this looks to easily top Duncan's debut. Can't wait!
 
Looks promising, Duncan Jones is one of the new director to keep an eye on so I'm looking forward to this.
 
Looked good enough. Wasn't awesome or fantastic, imo.
 
Great friggin' trailer. This might be my most anticipated movie of next year.
 
A very promising trailer.

Shoulda called it Groundhog Train, though.
 
Groundhog Day meets Quantum Leap, with a little Denzel in Deja Vu thrown in.

Not that that's a bad thing.
 
This looks cool. :up: Next year is definitely looking better in the movie department than this year has been.
