It's no secret how huge a fan of Rian Johnson's I am. It goes without saying. I have a Brick mousepad, I saw The Brothers Bloom 5 times in theaters last year....I'm just a sucker for anything the guy does. So as you can guess I've been pretty psyched over his upcoming time travel flick, Looper. With filming set to begin early next year, he's already rounded up an impressive cast including Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Emily Blunt, and Bruce Willis. Now you can add Paul Dano(Little Miss Sunshine) the list.
Looper is a time travel sci-fi flick set in the future, in which crime syndicates send their intended victims back in time to be disposed of by a group of killers(called Loopers). Gordon-Levitt plays a looper in the past who runs into some serious complications. Bruce Willis may or may not be playing another version of Gordon-Levitt's character. It's unclear what role Dano will be playing at this point.
Don't expect to see Looper until some time in 2012. It's going to be a long, excruciating wait!
