Every successful musical act eventually puts together a “best of” collection. ‘Looper’ is the time travel film equivalent of a “best of” album. Writer/director Rian Johnson excellently takes the best elements of time manipulation and brings those ideas together in a volley of bullets and drama.
The first trailer for Rian Johnson’s ‘Looper’ has appeared online and it’s impressive.
The futuristic thriller takes place in a world where time travel exists, but is only used on the Black Market. When the mob wants to kill someone, they send the target 30 years into the past where a contract killer (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) does the dirty work. Things are going smoothly until Gordon-Levitt’s future self (Bruce Willis) is sent into the past to be killed.
‘Looper’ also stars Emily Blunt, Paul Dano, and Jeff Daniels.

The poster is cool but there are a couple of Photoshop fails and Gordon-Levitt looks like a character from the computer game ‘The Sims’.

The trailer was just for Wondercon attendees and won’t be officially launched until closer to the release date but a few images have appeared online via Collider.
The images show Gordon Levitt channeling a younger version of Willis and how makeup is being used to make them look similar.
