Trailer: Joseph Gordon Levitt & Bruce Willis in Time-Travel Actioner, "Looper"

"This time travel crap... it fries your brain like an egg."



Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a hitman Bruce Willis from the past.  Or does Bruce play Gordon-Levitt from the future?  And they're both trying to kill each other?  No matter who succeeds, doesn't that erase both of them from existence?  I'll be honest, I've been baffled by this time travel stuff since 'T2: Judgment Day'.

Here's Sony's synopsis:

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.

'Looper' also stars Jeff Daniels, who is always awesome, and Emily Blunt, who I thought was phenomenal in 'Adjustment Beurau'.
