High up on my top 10 films for 2012, and probably the one you're least likely to have heard anything about, is Looper. it's directed by Rian Johnson, the same guy that made Brick, which is also a pretty cool and unique movie. Brick has got a really weird feel to it, something about the way it's shot maybe, but I enjoyed it. The fact I liked brick and the fact that the early screening got [U]really[/U] positive early reviews, and also who the two leading actors are, are all reasons enough for me to look forward to this.
As far as the plot, just watch the trailer.
There's only two photos from the film so far, both showing off JGL and the prosthetics he'll be wearing for the film:

2012 is an amazing year for movies.
What the fuck that doesn't look like him. Still don't understand the plot, movie looks cool though

holy shit, i get it now. that shits crazy
Looks awesome. "Brick" was fantastic and so climatic.
Only issue I have is that JGL's make-up. I understand that they wanted him to look similar to Bruce Willis, but that looks just... weird.
It's gonna be awesome because Postal made a thread about it.
joseph gordon-levitt is such a great actor on the rise
this movie will be great, i can just feel it
Upside down Bruce Willis looks like right way up Clint Eastwood
[QUOTE=postal;35455231]
As far as the plot, it can be summed up as in the future, the mob uses a time machine to send people they want killed back in time, for a 'looper' to kill them. JGL is a looper, who has his future self sent back in time for assassination, and then shit gets real.

For those confused:
[QUOTE=Wikipedia]In a futuristic gangland, a killer (Gordon-Levitt) works for a mob in the year 2042 and kills people who are sent from the year 2072. He recognizes one victim (Willis) as himself and hesitates, resulting in the escape of his older self.[/QUOTE]
From the posters and photos, it looks like they did a good job of making JGL look like Bruce.
Also sounds pretty damn awesome.
postal movie thread
movie will be good
Brick was great.
I don't want to give any money to the MPAA but I want to see this out of my loyalty I gained for JGL after going to one of his shows in seattle. Eh, I guess $10 won't help the mpaa that much

I could somewhat tell.
I am so fucking stoked for this. Fucking loved Brick and I hope Nathan Johnson comes along to create the soundtrack for this movie.

so good...
You're in luck. According to IMDB Nathan Johnson is once again the composer for this movie.
Plot sounds really interesting. Will be keeping an eye out for this one.
seriously i've been waiting for something like this ever since brick fucking came out.
i need more brick or at least the combo star/writer/director and this looks like it will satisfy.
probably gonna be the first time i actually see a movie in theaters in a while
Didn't the guy from Primer work on this?

This plot is confusing me.
Hitman from future comes back
Mob tries to stop hitman
Hitman recognises himself?
I'll see it regardless of how mad the plot is because it's JGL and Brucey
I loved Brick too
Where'd you get that from
like I said, his older self is sent back for assassination.
I'm so confused, even the plot synopsis is blowing my mind.
Why would you send your murder victims back in time
what does that accomplish
I'm confus

You can't really look for a body in the past... In the future they've simply vanished without a trace.

I guess that does make sense.

[quote]When the mob wants to get rid of someone, they will send their target 30 years into the past, where a “looper” – a hired gun, like Joe (Gordon-Levitt) – is waiting to mop up. Joe is getting rich and life is good… until the day the mob decides to “close the loop,” sending back Joe’s future self (Bruce Willis) for assassination.[/quote]
This is the best summary I've read.
