Updated! SXSW livestreaming! In advance of the premiere tonight, more Source Code goodies - and Jake Gyllenhaal on a bike for Men's Journal

UPDATE! I interrupt to bring you livestreaming from SXSW here.

Watch live streaming video from ifcsxsw at livestream.com

Jake is also about - here he is being interviewed by Moviefone. And here's another one.

As we speak, probably, the SXSW red carpet in Austin, Texas, is getting its last bit of spit and polish before Jake Gyllenhaal and Duncan Jones walk the walk and Source Code premieres in just a few hours. I'd tell you exactly how many hours if I knew which timezone Austin's in. But proving true the ancient adage ('No film ever had more posters than Source Code'), today there are more posters for Source Code, also giving us the opportunity to see Jake's name spelt out in a range of languages. I might be wrong but so far I've not seen a poster in Welsh.




Posters from Impawards (via ManMadeMovies) and Horror Asylum.

Duncan Jones has been blogging about his first day in Texas, spent in Dallas, and it is a must read. It could also make you hungry.

We have other goodies. There is a new featurette 'What is the Source Code?', which you can watch below, but it could be spoilery and so I haven't seen it with the sound on. It does look good, however. There are some new stills as well, thanks to IHJ, and you can find those below in the next section of the post. Alsoo, if you have your 3D specs handy, this is rather fun. Thanks to Eureka for the heads up!



Men's Journal - cyclists are like fish

As we know, Jake's featured in April's edition of Men's Journal and thanks to its website we get quite a taster. It was an interview conducted on the go - you've got to be fit to interview Jake these days - fit and speedy. It also contains the requisite amount of GyllenSpeak. Here are some excerpts, head over there to Men's Journal for the full extract. Incidentally, you have to wonder about a place that calls its hills Garbage Hill or Trash Truck Hill:


'Jake Gyllenhaal proves to be a man of his word, unfortunately. Yesterday he promised me a “really fucking hard climb,” and that’s what he’s engineering now, up and down Garbage Hill in Griffith Park, 
then over to the Hollywood Hills for a second round 
of ascents to Mulholland Drive. It starts out easy enough. As we zip over the flats along the 5 Freeway, portions of the ride spool by in bike-geek chitchat. I ask about his velodrome-style Look frame. “I’m not really a gearhead. With biking, the spirit of it is — whatever you can find. To be honest, I know nothing about my bikes. I know how to change a tire; I know how to fix my bike if need be. I just know none of the names.”'


'“I’ve had to teach myself to slow down a bit,” he confesses. “Because I get so into it, it becomes a real addiction. But it’s like a New Year’s resolution.” “To exercise less?” “To sit down and read a book. Life’s not a bike ride. I wouldn’t say exercise less, but sit with myself.” Good thing there’s the action-star loophole — Jake believes he can “sit with himself” while he’s running. “It’s not: ‘I’m having a shitty day and I’m going to go for a run,’ but ‘I’m having a shitty day and I’m going for a run and I’m going to try to work out what’s going on.’ Not just get my serotonin levels up and feel good. I’m going to think about things. And the only way you can do that is to slow the pace down.”'


'“I like to think of my toes as always moving forward,” he says. “Don’t push down. Try to even out the forces between pushing and pulling. Find a cadence and stay in it.” This works almost instantly; I close in on him and feel the way up the road getting easier. “Stay relaxed. You ever see the riders in the Tour de France getting up in the saddle? They’re not rocking from side to side. Their spines are loose, and they look like fish.” He stands on his pedals and turns to me. “When I start getting tense, I breathe out.” One arm at a time, he lets go of his handlebars and flicks his hands. “I carry a lot of tension in my hands, so I do this a lot.”'


Right, I'm ready for the premiere now...

Updated to add that I've done a feature on Source Code for Bleeding Cool tonight.

And last but not least...

I've always taken delight in the international community that reads WDW. My heart goes out today to that section of it in Japan.
