Which, depending on how much you really like to know about a film before you pay to see it, may not be a good thing. As Looper writer/director Rian Johnson advises on Twitter:
“If you’re already set on seeing Looper, I’d avoid any trailers from here on out. They don’t ruin the movie, but they tip a few little things” – Rian Johnson (@rcjohnso)
Followed by:
“Just to clarify – I approved all the trailers, they’re great and they won’t ruin anything big. But the small things they tip are fun too” – Rian Johnson (@rcjohnso)
The Plot:
In the futuristic action thriller Looper, time travel will be invented – but it will be illegal and only available on the black market. 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 (Joseph 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.
