The last time Bruce Willis was involved with time travel, it resulted in a brilliant movie that I had the privilege of seeing in the theater with my Parents (12 Monkeys is awesome), and now we’ve got him going back in time to see his younger version* played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt who is tasked with killing him..self. Bruno looks to be not phoning it in this time, and seeing Jeff Daniels on the big screen is always welcome.
*Anyone remember that script that floated around called The Gemini Man which was about an aged assassin who has a clone of himself made by people who want him dead, and the clone goes after him? It’s not time traveling, but the plot of an older version being pursued by a younger version is something cool that I’ve wanted to see for a long time.

*I DO remember the spec of Gemini Man, and I loved it. GEMINI MAN is also a near-clone (heh) of WOKEN FURIES, the third of Richard Morgan*s Takeshi Kovacs novels, in which the exact same thing happens. If LOOPER carries out this premise the way I believe Johnson can, then we are all in for a very, very good time.
gotta say that looks badass, almost didnt recognise JGL, he looks different for some reason
Going to see this, but that teaser sure did knock down my excitement for this film a few levels.
Prosthetics have been used to change his appearance closer to Willis.
Looks awesome.
The way the targets appear out of thin air on the blanket is laughably bad. Hate to say it but this looks like a very well made student film. Maybe it’s just the way it was cut together.
no you’re right, they should use the sparky star trek transporter effect or the 90s style warping from Sliders, that would look loads better.
Been following this for what seems like 2 years. Looking forward to it more than The Avengers.
I don’t have a problem with that at all. In fact, I bet that’s the most “realistic” thing that would happen if you did time travel; suddenly appear from nowhere – no fade in or dissolve out. If I’m not mistaken, I remember reading somewhere that Shane Carruth (Primer) consulted a little bit.
