Paul Dano To Join Rian Johnson’s LOOPER

According to Variety, the underrated Paul Dano (There Will Be Blood, Knight & Day) is in talks to join the cast of LOOPER, the time-travel thriller from writer/director Rian Johnson (Brick, The Brothers Bloom)..

Already starring Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Rian Johnson previously explained the concept for his interesting sci-fi movie LOOPER. Basically it’s about a group of killers in present time who work for a crime syndicate living in the future. Their bosses send their enemies back in time to the Loopers, and their job is to simply shoot them in the head and get rid of the bodies. So the target vanishes from the future, they don’t technically exist. Production starts next year in Louisiana
