Color this unexpected.

One of my favorite films this year, Source Code is apparently on it’s way to becoming a TV show.

In case you missed the movie (AND SHAME ON YOU IF YOU HAVE!), the titular “Source Code” is a unique investigative tool that, via time travel, allows someone to relive the last 8 minutes of someone’s life.  In the case of the film, it allows a military agent to constantly relive a train bombing in the hopes of catching the bomber.

Apparently CBS is convinced that you’ll be willing to watch an entire series as CSI-esq operatives enter new people’s final minutes each and every week.

For the big Duncan Jones fans like me, please note - the series does not involve him (yet?), it’s totally the production of the writer of the film, Mark Gordon.

As for me - I can’t say I’m thrilled that the film is being mined for a TV show, but the concept is removed enough from the movie-proper that I think they can coexist. Lets keep an eye on this one, shall we?
