The UK trailer is terrific, but be warned: it is slightly more spoilery than anything so far.

Looks intense!

Tainted87 - 6/27/2012, 8:45 AM

This kind of leaves Inception in the dust...
Can't wait for it.

Really looking forward to this, and fine with the idea of the prosthetics to make gordon levitt look like a young Bruce willis, but does anyone else agree that he doesn't look anything like a young Bruce anyway? Probably should have got a different actor or better prosthetics

AlexDeLarge87 - 6/27/2012, 8:50 AM

Looks cool :)

CharlesLord - 6/27/2012, 8:59 AM

wow....that looks amazing. Those prosthetics are REALLY good and it looks like hes playin the role really well.

SPOILER: The villain will be Vermin Supreme:

valeriesghost - 6/27/2012, 9:03 AM

they've got my money

AsianVersionOfET - 6/27/2012, 9:06 AM

Ahhh fck YEAH.

vtopa - 6/27/2012, 9:09 AM

I wonder why they needed to give him those prosthetics. It does' make him look any more similar to Bruce Willis. What's the deal?

MarkJulian - 6/27/2012, 9:15 AM

Yeah, I think it did help, I can definitely see JGL as a young Bruce Willis thanks to the makeup.

ThunderCougarFalconBird - 6/27/2012, 9:16 AM

Looks great! Got to hand it to JGL for nailing some of Bruce's expressions!

MarcoPilgrim - 6/27/2012, 9:38 AM

That was awesome !

cydonia34 - 6/27/2012, 9:40 AM

This has nothing to do with nolan. I admit i love his films, but stop calling looper inception 2 and linking it to inception. Its a totally different concept all together. But Looper is looking to be a great sci fi film for this year.

cydonia34 - 6/27/2012, 9:42 AM

oh, new to commenting here. been on the site for years watching stuff and reading comments. This particular thread just urged me to comment.

Ceejay - 6/27/2012, 10:03 AM

Rian Johnson has not failed to deliver so far, 'Brick' was brilliant and 'The Brothers Bloom' was excellent so I'm definitely looking forward to this.

Boyle360 - 6/27/2012, 10:31 AM

I think it does make him look more like Bruce Willis. I can definitely see it. Just forget what Bruce Willis actually looked like at Joseph Gordon Levitt's age and it's totally believable.

mattattack - 6/27/2012, 10:36 AM

@ceejay EXACTLY! I loved Brothers Bloom and Brick is a classic. Shut up and take my money Rian!

Bigred20 - 6/27/2012, 11:15 AM

Love the music in the trailer
Probably will be whistling it for the next week
lol

MisterBabadook - 6/27/2012, 12:12 PM

"Looks good"

Tainted87 - 6/27/2012, 12:49 PM

Yeah I wasn't meaning to trash Inception, even though I wouldn't have a problem doing it - I just think that it is a big step up from his last sci-fi role, which was Inception.

Rian Johnson isn't a master filmmaker, I'm not going to pretend like he is.... BUT he knows how to tell a really good story. Brick appeals to some, I definitely liked it, but a lot of people hated it because of how casual everything is. Still, it was a great idea.

Note how I haven't and won't mention that other director ;)

Azrael725 - 6/27/2012, 3:53 PM

i still dont believe thats JGL lol looks and sounds so different. this is now on my watch list

cookfreeordie - 6/27/2012, 4:27 PM

At 1:01 he looks JUST like Daniel Craig.

LeoKragg - 6/27/2012, 4:41 PM

Two on my list for this year: Looper and Robot & Frank

KungFuGee - 6/27/2012, 9:04 PM

OK, Cool. Love Bruce Willis.. He is an action-packed MF.
