Hollywood Hits the Red Carpet

It literally starts with a bang and goes 10 miles an hour,” said Source Code director Duncan Jones at the NYC screening of his sci-fi actioner at the Crosby Street Hotel in SoHo. At the afterparty, guests mingled with stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan and Jeffrey Wright and enjoyed mini-burgers and cocktails made with Purity vodka. Even Lindsay Lohan stopped by, one day after being photographed falling face down on a New York street. (She insisted the incident occurred because she’d been telling friends a joke, not drinking.) Gyllenhaal took a serious turn, though, when asked about the central conceit of the film: If you knew you only had eight minutes to live, what would you do? Said the actor, “If I could enter somebody’s body for eight minutes like this computer program allows you to do for the last minutes of your life and stop a catastrophe from happening, all I think about constantly in these past few weeks has been Japan.”
