2012 really does have everything…a Christopher Nolan Batman, Wes Anderson and Bill Murray re-teaming, David Cronenberg foregoing the Oscar bait to fuck with reality again, Ridley Scott revisiting one of his classics, Daniel Craig and Sam Mendes are doing Skyfall, there’s a new Resident Evil, and yesterday the first trailer for Rian Johnson’s hit-man hunting an older version of himself via time travel movie Looper broke.
Johnson initially worked with Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the high school noir Brick, seven years ago, and it was an utter masterwork. If Levitt really does <Bat-spoiler?> end up wearing the batsuit at some point in The Dark Knight Rises, he earned it here, playing a master detective with an indomitable will.</Bat-spoiler> The trailer is embedded above, it’s one of my all-time favorite films; if you’ve not seen it, i urge you to netflix/download/torrent it.
Looper is scheduled for release on September 28th, which can’t get here fast enough.

Love love love Brick. Related: Super excited for Looper. Also related: I will see a lot of movies in the next few months.
Brick was a great fucking movie. Sherry, you have excellent taste.
Okay Looper looks cool! Hadn’t heard of it before now.
As for JGL and Bat-suit, there is a rumor going around that in the movie he gets a code name: Azrael…
