Although he comes across very relaxed when talking about his upcoming release, Looper<\/a><\/em>, you could say that writer\/director Rian Johnson was quite calculated in crafting this science-fiction piece. And to his surprise, a few of the stereotypical challenging items \u2013 when shooting a major cinematic production – fell into place rather easily.<\/p>\n

Johnson admitted in a telephone interview with yours truly that he took some bold chances with Looper<\/em>. Specifically stating that the script goes to places in the middle and the end that had everyone involved a little nervous. But as mentioned just a few sentences ago, things went relatively smooth when I asked about if there were any of the often-heard \u201cpushback\u201d directives from the studio heads\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, man. It was kind of the opposite, actually. Doing a sci-fi, it has such a built in audience. And especially once Bruce Willis signed on, having him in a sci-fi film, it actually came together nicely \u2013 in terms of us getting the money much faster than any of the other two films I\u2019ve done. But obviously, the movie takes some chances and goes to some places you wouldn\u2019t expect it to. And some of those places are pretty dark. So there were elements in the script that everyone was kind of, \u2018are we really going to do this?\u2019 But at the end of the day, I\u2019m lucky enough to have some really brave producers. And once I talked them through it, they gave me the trust and said go ahead and take a shot at it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

And with regards to the moments (middle and ending) that he felt were more-or-less risky\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth of those moments, I hope, are very much earned and very essential to the movie. They\u2019re not just moments that are meant to shock.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sticking with those moments, we talked about the writing process and how he creates\/gets to these sequences?<\/p>\n

\u201cYou start on the path and figure out where it honestly should take you. So it\u2019s not like you come up with set pieces and build that movie around that; you figure out where these characters have to get to. And then there are certain things where you\u2019re like, \u2018oh, no\u2026are we going to have to do this?\u2019 And I think that is a wonderful reaction! That means the audience, at that point in the movie, will be saying, \u2018Oh, no\u2026are they going to have to do this?\u2019 And that\u2019s my favorite feeling in the theater: when you\u2019re cinched up in your chair and you\u2019re like, \u2018Oh, No!\u2019 That feeling is one of the great experiences you can have sitting in the dark in a movie theater. And as a writer, when you\u2019re feeling that (while writing), I think it\u2019s a really good sign.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our chat then shifted to whether or not the trailer properly sells his vision. For those that read yours truly, trailers and I do not get along (a.k.a. do not watch them). But as noted in Johnson\u2019s last quote and what became evident the more we yapped, he essentially crafted a movie that pleases his expectations when going into the theater. And he believes the trailer does the best possible job it can in showcasing what Looper intends to tackle.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe trailer shows you the action and sci-fi elements, and those are very much there as a big part of the film,\u201d he said. \u201cBut what the trailer doesn\u2019t show you, in what I hope will be a pleasant surprise for audiences, is the emotional element and what the movie actually ends up being about. And I think that will take some people by surprised, or at least I hope it does.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The flick also stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who portrays a younger version of Bruce Willis\u2019 character. A common theme in Hollywood is for filmmakers and actors to re-team after successful previous collaborations. Johnson and Gordon-Levitt worked together on 2005\u2019s indie, Brick<\/em>, where they also became good friends.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this case, I wrote the part for Joe,\u201d said Johnson. \u201cI wanted to work with my friend. But, it also made a whole lot of sense, because the part requires a huge transformation; it requires the other actor to really step into the skin of the older actor. And Joe is particularly good at that.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

He describes JGL as, \u201cA leading-man with the heart of a character actor. He loves disappearing into roles.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Johnson added that even if he didn\u2019t know Joe, he would have gone after anyway. <\/p>\n

\u201cI probably wouldn\u2019t have gotten him though (laughing).\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

After easily snagging, or as Johnson put it, \u201cShockingly easy,\u201d<\/strong> getting Bruce Willis to join the party, while having lunch with him, his quest to completing this provocative and daring tale came together better than expected. <\/p>\n

We closed yapping, maybe even complaining, about how we would love to see short films being screened before theatrical presentations instead of trailers. But that is a story for another time\u2026<\/p>\n

Looper<\/em> opens everywhere on September 28th.<\/p>\n
