US Trailer for Looper

"The only thing to fear … is yourself."

You might not think you want to see the time travel crime thriller Looper, but after watching this trailer, you might change your mind.

Yesterday we had the first UK trailer for the film, and today we have the US version — which is far superior in terms of story-telling and visuals.

At some point in the future, 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 (played by 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.

Directed by Rian Johnson from his own original screenplay, Looper opens in theaters September 28th, 2012.
