In the futuristic action thriller Looper, time travel will be invented - but it will be illegal and only available on the black market. When the mob wants to get rid of someone, they will send their target 30 years into the past, where a "looper" - a hired gun, like Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) - is waiting to mop up. Joe is getting rich and life is good... until the day the mob decides to "close the loop," sending back Joe's future self (Bruce Willis) for assassination. The film is written and directed by Rian Johnson and also stars Emily Blunt, Paul Dano, and Jeff Daniels. Ram Bergman and James D. Stern produce.

Many thanks to @TheAlexLynch97 for the heads up.

Looper is set to hit theaters September 28th.

Cool, so they went with the Tron: Legacy route, and CGI'd Bruce Willis face so he...what? That's Joseph Gordon-Levitt!?

JGL would have been [frick]ing awesome Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier. :)

hueyfreeman - 8/22/2012, 12:58 PM

Wow, that is one lazy poster

NerdyGeek - 8/22/2012, 12:58 PM

This movie is going to kick some serious ass!

SimyJo - 8/22/2012, 12:58 PM

3 hours + make-up per shoot to make him look like a young Bruce Willis;

has this been rated yet?

It was makeup, not CG - just prosthetics lol.

And to the guy who asked "if his future self killed his past self, wouldn't he cease to exist?" [I don't see your comment anymore, but I'm answering anyway] - the tagline suggests he's ashamed of what he's done and he IS a murderer so... I believe that's his goal. To prevent it from happening.

Looks interesting.. Might check it out.

RedeyeJedi - 8/22/2012, 1:10 PM

I like the idea of the film and all, but JGL looks phucking weird. He seems off putting and sort of plastic.

Dynamo - 8/22/2012, 1:13 PM

@darkmetal
They didn't use CGI to make him look like Willis, it was all make-up.

GreenHalJordan - 8/22/2012, 1:19 PM

What are some people talking about?!?!? I think he looks awesome and looks A LOT like Bruce Willis!

GreenHalJordan - 8/22/2012, 1:21 PM

Although I will say that he looks like Thomas Jane and Bruce Willis' child at 1:44 mark. Still thats impressive for makeup!

GreenHalJordan - 8/22/2012, 1:21 PM

@blackandyellow, all makeup.

SimyJo - 8/22/2012, 1:24 PM

Amazing what a bit of lipstick and rouge can do!.

thewonderer - 8/22/2012, 1:33 PM

I don't understand how anyone can not look forward to this.

An original idea with a very interesting premise and questions.

This and Hobbit are practically the only great things to look forward to this year

Whoelsebutkevin - 8/22/2012, 1:54 PM

Agreed theWonderer. It should be quite good, plus they are both great actors.

AlexRival - 8/22/2012, 1:57 PM

He looks like Hugh Jackman

superbatspiderman - 8/22/2012, 3:02 PM

I think the reason they made him look different is so that he looks like he would turn into Bruce Willis when he is older. This movie looks awesome btw.

staypuffed - 8/22/2012, 4:05 PM

The movie looks good, but this poster isn't great.

Spidey1996 - 8/22/2012, 5:30 PM

Looks cool; JGL and Bruce Willis together? Awesome! ;)

TheSoulEater - 8/22/2012, 6:45 PM

It's scary how much he's looking like Willis....

Bladenite - 8/22/2012, 8:34 PM

yeah...cause temporal misalignment and it causing issues is completely new. Its like Timecop except the rich bad man pays a younger more stupid version of the first cop to kill himself. I don't see the "genius"

Logan5 - 8/23/2012, 12:17 PM

Looks like a fresh and solid take on a used device. Poster looks good!
