• Pretentious Prince JGL • news: Looper premiere in Chicago, rave reviews & video with Rainn Wilson

Premiere pictures










'Looper' is 100% fresh on RottenTomatoes

For his third film, Looper, Johnson returns to his debut's neo-noir roots, now adding a sci-fi time travel twist. Joesph Gordon-Levitt stars as a "looper," an in the year 2044 employed by a mafia located in 2077. The mafia sends enemies back to Gordon-Levitt's time, whom he murders and then disposes of the bodies. But what happens when his future self (Bruce Willis) gets sent back in time for extermination?

Looper has been drawing early rave reviews, more than matching Brick's and far surpassing The Brothers Bloom. Here's what the critics are saying so far:

Brian Tallerico of HollywoodChicago.com: "It is personal, dark, daring, weird, and refreshingly unique. It is also one of the best sci-fi films of the last several years."

Amy Nicholson of Boxoffice Magazine: "The coolest, most-confident sci-fi flick since 2006's Children of Men."

Peter Debruge of Variety: "[Rian Johnson's] grandly conceived, impressively mounted third feature shows a giddy, geeky interest in science-fiction, then forces it into the back seat and lets the multidimensional characters drive."

Katey Rich of CinemaBlend.com: "Creates a world so lively and well-wrought I'd happily see a dozen more movies set there."

So there you have it. It looks like fans of Rian Johnson and hard sci-fi have much to look forward to this month (hell, Dredd 3D also just went Certified Fresh today). Looper is out September 28 in theaters everywhere.

And Total Film rated it 5 stars, you can check the review HERE

From TotalFilm: Gordon-Levitt, coming off the back of The Dark Knight Rises and 50/50, caps a terrific 12 months with a performance brimful of maturity.

Wait, so it might really be as good as Moon? I thought that was just one reviewer over reacting.

kalie_m 12th-Sep-2012 05:27 am (UTC)

superhetoric 12th-Sep-2012 06:00 am (UTC)
idk i think he's a beautiful person. he was one of my first crushes as a kid when he was on 3rd rock.
in_suburb 12th-Sep-2012 10:27 am (UTC)
I know. He's not delicate-looking anymore. He gained weight?
jesustolemybike 12th-Sep-2012 05:33 am (UTC)

I can't wait to see Looper. Rian Johnson can do no wrong imo. (His Breaking Bad episodes were perfect.)

fuckyess 12th-Sep-2012 05:40 am (UTC)
this is one of those films i really don't want to see but i want to know what it's about

which, admittedly, is how i am about MOST films (i read plots on wiki and never watch them lawl)
fuckyess 12th-Sep-2012 05:42 am (UTC)
wait nvm i was thinking of premium rush, i just assumed it was this movie because i didn't know he had two so close together

idk what looper is lol
oh_sailor 12th-Sep-2012 09:31 am (UTC)
Kind of obnoxious tbh
wickedwatch 12th-Sep-2012 05:52 am (UTC)
Excited for Looper. I love Rian Johnson's work
jaded56 12th-Sep-2012 05:59 am (UTC)
i really want to see this =]
superhetoric 12th-Sep-2012 06:00 am (UTC)
i listen to a lot of podcasts, including shows where celebrities get interviewed, and i always think that if i were to interview a pretentious celebrity, i'd ask them about their most obscure or embarrassing work. like for JGL, i'd ONLY talk to him about 3rd rock from the sun. ONLY. and 90% of the questions would be about working with french stewart.
ichdontthinksoo 12th-Sep-2012 06:10 am (UTC)
LOL I think he'd be so pissed. But who knows, maybe he got over himself and now thinks having been a part of it is just something embarrassingly funny.
wingnut13 12th-Sep-2012 06:33 am (UTC)
But there's nothing obscure or embarrassing about TRFTS - that was an awesome show.

And French Stewart rocks!
adrock 12th-Sep-2012 07:59 am (UTC)
he went on loveline not too long after it finished and had a great attitude about it when they brought it up
oh_sailor 12th-Sep-2012 09:32 am (UTC)
3rd Rock is still a respected, beloved sitcom tho, as silly as it was.
saltireflower 12th-Sep-2012 06:11 am (UTC)
I want to see this even though I'm not a Bruce Willis fan.
jilicious 12th-Sep-2012 04:22 pm (UTC)
omg I love Bruce Willis, how is that man still so hot
sugary_placenta 12th-Sep-2012 06:21 am (UTC)
Damn I'm going to have to see this. I already thought the premise seemed interesting, but if people are saying it's one of the best sci-fi's lately then I have to see it.
