A present-day killer (Gordon-Levitt) works for a mob in the future and kills people who are sent from the future. He recognizes one victim (Willis) as himself and hesitates, resulting in the escape of his older self.[2]
Looper is written and directed by Rian Johnson. After Johnson released The Brothers Bloom in 2008, he re-teamed with producer Ram Bergman, who produced Johnson's previous two films, with the goal of starting production of Looper in 2009.[4] In May 2010, Joseph Gordon-Levitt was cast in one of the lead roles, which he would play after completing Premium Rush.[5] Later in the month, Bruce Willis was also cast.[6] In the following October, Emily Blunt joined Gordon-Levitt and Willis. Filming began in Louisiana in January 2011.[7]
Looper is scheduled to be released in the United States on September 28, 2012.[8] The film's studio Endgame Entertainment negotiated a deal with FilmDistrict at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2011, and FilmDistrict will release the film in the United States through TriStar Pictures.[2]
