I am a sucker for time travel movies, and this one looks pretty interesting. Not that we know much about it, but that one role has been currently cast by two very good actors.
Bruce Willis will play older version of the same character that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is playing in Loopers.
Although Johnson said they haven’t locked down a cast Deadline reports Joseph Gordon-Levitt is definitely on board. Willis will play the same character as Levitt, but in a different time frame.
Doesn’t make sense? Here is the short synopsis: “Loopers are hitmen whose victims are sent back in time from the future to be executed. The Loopers bump them off in the present, so there is no trace of a crime in the future.”
I love both of these guys so I am all over this. And it sounds as trippy as Time Cop without the serious paradox issues.
I imagine the potential victim that gets sent back in time manages to escape the Looper assigned to kill him.
And now that they mention it, at closer inspection Willis could pass as an older version of Gordon-Levitt, even though we know when Willis was much younger, he didnt look anything at all like Gordon-Levitt. As long as they act like each other, it should work well.
