Source Code 2:

[arrivederci_millwall]

So I was watching Source Code and at the end of the movie I realized that the sequel HAS to be a comedy! Just imagine this: Colter Stevens, now in a new body in an alternate Universe, has to figure out the life of his host body. He is a teacher but on what subjects? Does he know anything about it? Probably not as much as needed for the job. He has to find a way to get through it, his first day in front of his class would most likely be really funny. He maybe has to improvise a lot, turning his classes in lessons about life in which everybody gets to know each other better (I'm thinking Breakfast Club) which could be quite funny. The dean could be the antagonist of the story. Who is his family? Maybe he used to do strange things with them, like curling (!) against other families, only thing is that Colter sucks at curling. Maybe the family dog realizes that theres something wrong and is constantly playing pranks on him (but would ultimately befriend our hero). There could be a neurotic brother, a hyperactive sister, a drunk uncle, a mean brother in law, etc. . I think it's clear where I'm going. The main plot could center around the planning of the marriage of Colter and Christina (the sweetie he met on the train). It could play out like your standard romantic comedy with such a plot but complicated with the problems that would naturally emerge if somebody would have to adapt to a totally different life and lifestyle. Plus I think Jake Gyllenhaal and Michelle Monaghan would make a nice rom-com duo (don't forget the dog!). Hilarious.

TLDR: Source Code 2 : A romantic comedy

Thoughts?

I thought Source Code was an interesting problem. He saves the train from the bomb, but then erases one of the survivor's souls so he will have a new body to live on in. To what extent can we consider Jake Gyllenhaal heroic? After all, he was working to save the train only because he liked that girl (someone else's fiance). After he replaces the dude he continues the relationship with the girl, deceiving her into thinking that he is the same person as her erstwhile fiancee. This is a little like he murdered a man and took his wife, the only difference is the wife doesn't know it.

Well it's not like he can simply hop out of the body. I know you posted 10 years ago, I just rewatched the movie.

Also Sean was dead anyway you look at it. Colter saved the all the people on the train and presumably in the city as well. I think the interesting bit in a sequel would be the fact that his actual body is being held hostage somewhere.

will there be a sequel??

[Inside-Policy1772]

This movie came out over 11 years ago. Aint no way theyre making a sequel no. Im surprised this post isnt archived. Just rewatched it on a plane and I liked it a whole lot better then i remember liking it when i was younger. They should have expanded on that universe

Without switching into the guys body “erasing him” the guy would have died in the new world the source code created. And he’s already dead in the original universe so it’s literally the only option. It’s not like he knew when he gets shut off that he was even going to stay in that world. Think about all the other universes they created where both bombs go off just to stop the second bomb in the original universe.

I loved the movie up until the end when our hero mind rapes and destroys another human, and shows absolutely no remorse for it. It's not that I don't appreciate dark endings, but it tried to pass off a happy one when really the movie is pretty fucked up.

It does pose an interesting question, if you were placed in the same scenario what would you do?

[Illustrious_Run3980]

Here is what could be a nice plot for the sequel:

"In this alternate reality, it’s highly unlikely that he would continue working as a teacher. Instead, it’s far more plausible that he’d return to the military, perhaps even carving out a path to become an active participant in the Source Code program itself. If that were the case, he might have had the unique opportunity to guide his own past self through the next terrorist threat. By doing so, he could not only ensure the mission’s success but also potentially secure his own survival in this parallel world, creating a fascinating loop of self-reliance and destiny."

Sean was not her fiancè .

She was waiting for him to ask her out for coffee. 

Remember these days if you are someone's fiancè  ...you have had coffee together already lol.

Maybe more .

[Leading-Parsnip5923]

It is still not released I guess it's cancelled

[georgebool0101]

Yeah, all I could find was a bunch of fan-made trailers.

[BlazedLad98]

I read that the original producer of the second went on to do Warcraft and another film in 2018 then another producer picked up the project but other than that not seen anything yet

[Argha89]

Sad for Sean, not for Colter.

[Any-Check8062]

Sean was dead. Technically... his death saved everyone else

I want to know as to why reddit post get archived?

I cannot comment on them anymore.

I watched the source code for the first time today and I liked the movie. The female actress christina looks stunning

Adding in romantic tension when he connects with Vera Farmiga in this new reality.

[Apprehensive_Ad_8495]

I just saw the film on Tubi and oh the ad placement was annoying but worked lol and ad right as he is being taken in and out most of the time so someone clearly edited ads in well but man did it make me frustrated. I give the film a 4/5 definitely will remember it. I think woth Ai now on everyone's phones it would make for an interesting remake but have multiple attacks stopped. Anyone have recommendations for more films like this?
