A new movie trailer has been released this week for the new Looper film, an upcoming time travelling movie set to be released on September 28th, 2012, starring Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Emily Blunt. Watch the first official trailer for the new movie after the jump.
“In a futuristic gangland, a killer (Gordon-Levitt) works for a mob in the year 2042 and kills people who are sent from the year 2072. He recognizes one victim (Willis) as himself and hesitates, resulting in the escape of his older self.” Looper is written and directed by Rian Johnson, and will be released in the United States through TriStar Pictures.
Plot and Concept
Looper presents a unique take on the time travel genre, blending elements of science fiction, action, and thriller. The film is set in a dystopian future where time travel exists but is illegal and only available on the black market. The mob uses this technology to send targets back in time to be eliminated by “loopers,” assassins like Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt). The twist comes when Joe’s future self (Bruce Willis) is sent back as a target, leading to a gripping chase and a deeper exploration of the consequences of time travel.
The film delves into themes of identity, fate, and the moral complexities of killing one’s future self. It raises questions about whether our future is predetermined or if we have the power to change it. The dynamic between the younger and older versions of Joe adds a psychological depth to the action-packed narrative.
Cast and Crew
The film boasts a stellar cast, with Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt delivering compelling performances as the older and younger versions of Joe, respectively. Emily Blunt plays a pivotal role as Sara, a woman who becomes entangled in Joe’s mission. The supporting cast includes Paul Dano, Noah Segan, Piper Perabo, and Jeff Daniels, each bringing their unique talents to the film.
Rian Johnson, known for his work on films like “Brick” and “The Brothers Bloom,” both wrote and directed Looper. His vision for the film combines intricate storytelling with high-octane action sequences, making it a standout in the sci-fi genre. Johnson’s direction ensures that the film is not just about the spectacle of time travel but also about the emotional and ethical dilemmas it presents.
Anticipation and Reception
Looper has generated significant buzz ahead of its release, with fans eagerly anticipating its unique storyline and high-profile cast. The trailer has been well-received, showcasing the film’s intense action sequences, thought-provoking plot, and impressive special effects. Critics and audiences alike are excited to see how the film will tackle the complexities of time travel and the moral questions it raises.
The film’s release on September 28th, 2012, is highly anticipated, and it is expected to be a major hit at the box office. With its blend of action, sci-fi, and psychological depth, Looper promises to be a film that not only entertains but also provokes thought and discussion.
