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.


STARRING:

Bruce Willis as Joseph Simmons
Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Joseph Simmons
Emily Blunt as Sara
Paul Dano as Seth
Noah Segan as Kid Blue
Jeff Daniels as Jack Mitchell
Piper Perabo as Suzie
Garret Dillahunt as Jesse

That still doesn't answer my question: How does a Looper actually get the job if he's dealing with people from the future?

I still don't think JGL w/makeup looks anything like a younger Bruce Willis

@skidz (POSSIBLE SPOILER) not a spoiler really


I read the script, a man from the future was sent back to lead/hire loopers.

I watched Timecop yesterday. This is kinda similar... I'll be watching this.

I'm interested in this only because I'm perplexed..

My main question is, why the hell send your enemies back in time to be murdered? Why not just murder them in the future? Instead they send them back in time where there's a chance they escape and then change the future?!?

The concept seems flawed...

"My future self is Bruce Willis(chuckle)so he gets the better of me." ''LOL

Can't mother effin' wait.

@SmokenOaken just watch the movie, not a flawed concept.

It's hard to dispose of bodies in the future cuz they have some sort of tracking chips or something like that in them. So send the people back in time so no body can be found in the future and technically they wont exist in the past so its sort of a win win.

The concept is pretty cool actually.
