By original_sharp on | From filmshaft.com

I first heard about this movie maybe three years ago after director Rian Johnson’s first film, Brick, was a critical success. Unfortunately it took its sweet time even making it into the cinema, then finally getting a release two years after completion and hitting the shelves on DVD on October 4th. It centres around the brothers, Stephen (Mark Ruffalo, as charming as ever) and Bloom (Adrien Brody, before Predators extracurricular gym training), and the quest to complete the perfect – and...Read Full Story

By fusedfilm on | From fusedfilm.com

We spoke about this movie Looper the other day when hoopla began about Joseph Gordon-Levitt reuniting with Brick director, Rian Johnson on the project. The synopsis then came out later after a poor description online. Deadline New York is reporting that Bruce Willis will star in Looper. Willis will essentially be playing the same character as Joseph Gordon-Levitt, although in different time periods. Looper is a time travel movie, set in a near future where time travel doesn’t exist but...Read Full Story

By fusedfilm on | From fusedfilm.com

Empire has the first official image of Rian Johnson’s upcoming Looper , featuring Bruce Willis in what looks like his return to the past from 30 years in the future. His younger self (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a hitman that disposes of the future victims that come back through time. A really cool plot premise, great actors and a great director, this movie has all fanboys salivating for the first trailer, which could be a SDCC surprise (we hope). Set in the near future, when time-travel is...Read Full Story

Rian Johnson on How Joseph Gordon-Levitt Will Embody Bruce Willis in Looper

It's clear by his casting of then 24-year-old Joseph Gordon-Levitt — who at the time was really only known for his role as Tommy Solomon on the quirky TV series 3rd Rock from the Sun — as the lead character in his feature debut, Brick, that director Rian Johnson was able to see the future superstar inside of the fresh-faced young actor. Which explains why, six years later, Johnson turned to Gordon-Levitt once again when he needed a young...
