Live, Die, Repeat: Watch ‘Source Code’ – A Time Travelling Sci-Fi Thriller | Film Score By Chris Bacon

June 8, 2014 Film Music Daily Staff

If you were to live, die, repeat like Tom Cruise’s Edge of Tomorrow character, what would you do over and over again? BAFTA-winning Director Duncan Jones (Moon) takes us on a time-travelling ride in Source Code (watch it on VUDU), starring Jake Gyllenhaal (Zodiac, Donnie Darko). Lakeshore Records released the soundtrack to this critically-acclaimed movie, scored by Composer Chris Bacon (The Dark Knight, Blood Diamond). Expect to find a soundtrack filled with big orchestrals which underline every thrilling moment of this movie.

Gyllenhaal’s character, Colter Stevens, is a soldier who finds himself a part of a covert government computer program called “Source Code,” in which he gets to re-live the last 8 minutes of a man’s life over and over again in order to locate a Chicago commuter train bomber. He soon finds himself on a separate mission to save Christina Warren, played by Michelle Monaghan (Better Living Through Chemistry, Expecting). Source Code also stars Vera Farmiga (A&E’s Bates Motel) as Colleen Goodwin, an official from the Source Code operation who interfaces with Colter Stevens. It’s a small world: Composer Chris Bacon now scores the Bates Motel TV series.
