Looper (Rian Johnson, 2010): "violent and dark" sci-fi
From slashfilm:
Until now we’ve known very little about Brick director Rian Johnson’s upcoming third film, a sci-fi movie titled Looper. When we talked with Johnson in Toronto (interview coming in December), he described the film as being “really violent and dark” and compared it to the work of Phillip K Dick and the first Terminator film. Now thanks to THR, we have an official logline: “Looper is set in a present-day world in which a group of hitmen are sent their victims from the future.” Sounds like a pretty interesting concept, and with Johnson behind the camera, I have no doubt it will be great. Endgame Entertainment hopes to begin principal photography next year. Update: Johnson assures fans that “there’s much much MUCH much more to Looper than that logline suggests. In fact, that quick description doesn’t even get to the really interesting hook of the plot, and the plot’s hook isn’t what the movie is really about anyway.” |
Hmm... I'll have to keep an eye out for the screenplay.
|
If the victims are sent from the future, the present-day hitmen didn't do a very good job. ;)

that is strange that they already are greenlighting this even though his brothers bloom movie isn't even out yet, must be a good script.

i think the phrase goes something like "you're never hotter than right before your new movie comes out" |
Can't wait to bump this thread in two years.

No its all good. I always like to be ahead of people with these things anyways. Make me feel 1337.
|
If anyone has the script...please be so kind to PM me. :)

Yeah, I'll get excited about this after I catch a glimpse at Brothers Bloom to make sure Johnson wasn't a one-hit wonder.

exciting!
even though i didn't care for Brick, i liked Brothers Bloom immensely (probably an opposite to most opinions i'm sure) |
Re: Looper (Rian Johnson, 2010): "violent and dark" sci-fi
Two of my favorite modern films already by the guy & one of my favorite actors. No clue what the plot really is yet but I'll be there day one. I think he was already talking about working on this movie on the Brothers Bloom commentary.

This is off topic but I have a question.

For me it was when I saw Brick. I also really liked him in The Lookout & (500) Days of Summer.

Re: Looper (Rian Johnson, 2010): "violent and dark" sci-fi
I think Brick changed our view of JGL. After that he's been pretty good w/ his roles. Granted he was CC in GI JOE but...I mean....he wanted to be in it cuz it was fun. And he was right. At least he knew wtf he was getting into on that one.

Count me in as interested. But at first glance at the thread title I thought this was a film about the "Lopper" killer from Seinfeld.

Re: Looper (Rian Johnson, 2010): "violent and dark" sci-fi
^ I always thought that it was 500 Days of Summer that allowed him to break through.

What was it that got everyone on a Joseph Gordon-Levitt kick? It seems that he's been getting an enormous amount of praise around these parts lately and it's all seemed to have come relatively recently. I like him and I'm curious because I'd like to see whatever it is.
