Take a look at the awesome-looking time device from Looper. More »

]]> http://io9.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5627118&view=rss&microfeed=true Great news! Production Weekly tweeted that Looper, the time travel thriller from Brick director Rian Johnson, starts filming in January. This movie takes place in a dark near future, when time travel hasn't been invented yet but soon will be. And criminals send people back in time from 20 or 30 years in the future, hogtied and ready to be murdered — with the victims easy to dispose of, because technically they don't exist yet. We interviewed Johnson about this film a while back, and we're dying to see it! [via QuietEarth] More »

Brick, Rian Johnson's high-school noir movie, was one of my favorite films of the past few years. He was in town promoting his new con-man romance, The Brothers Bloom, and we got the chance to ask him about his planned third movie, a time-travel thriller called Looper.
