If it's crap ... We'll tell you

Set in a world where time travel exists (but won't be invented for another couple decades), Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as the main character, Joe. Joe is a "looper" - when the mob in the future wants to dispose of someone, they send them back into the past where people like Joe are waiting to shoot them in the head and dispose of the body. However, things get more complicated when present day Joe (Levitt) recognizes one of the targets as his future self (played by Bruce Willis). JGL apparently underwent almost three hours of makeup every day and wore a variety of prosthetic appliances on his face to make him resemble Willis, and the effect is quite remarkable. While Levitt does carry a slight resemblance in the film, he definitely doesn't look like himself and it's interesting to see him take such a leap for a character.
'Looper' arrives in the present on September 28th.

Comment by Ross Slick on April 16, 2012 at 12:20am If you listen to JGL in the beginning of the trailer you can hear him imitating Willis.
Comment by Kevin McMullin on April 15, 2012 at 4:01pm So in the trailer Joseph grows up to be Bruce Willis? Cool idea killing your future self but he knows what you know that and he's probably got 30 years of experence on him there's the challange, Rian Johnson has a interesting take on genres like Brick which I hear is a good take on a film noir I might need to watch it before I see this.
Comment by Joanne on April 14, 2012 at 7:48pm Gah! What the hell have they done to Joseph Gordon-Levitt's face?! It looks so wierd.
Comment by Zgamer on April 14, 2012 at 6:21pm Wow! Jeff Daniels has put on A LOT of weight! Or maybe it is the Professor Jeff like beard making his face look fatter. Either way, I am so happy he is still working. A truly underrated actor in my opinion.
I am very curious to see how this film turns out. Hope for the best!
Comment by ArmedVegan on April 14, 2012 at 4:15pm Yay!
Okay, that looks pretty freaking cool
Comment by Michael F on April 14, 2012 at 12:43pm Honestly it kind of looks like a very well disguised cheep inception knock off

I'm sure they'll explain it in the film. My immediate thought is that it's cleaner. No mess to clean up (in terms of blood and evidence); the victim is killed in an entirely different time period.
Also, the more I see Joseph Gordon Levitt doctored up to play a young Bruce Willis, the more I convince myself he should play Max Payne.

The plot detailed in this makes no sense. Why send someone back in time to be shot when you could just shoot them
