Director Rian Johnson (The Brothers Bloom) is readying a sci-fi/action film entitled Looper. The basic premise of the film involves hitmen whose victims are sent back in time to be executed. The Loopers knock them off in the present, so there is no trace of the crime in the future.

Deadline is now reporting that Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Inception) and Bruce Willis (Surrogates) have both signed on to play the same character, in different time frames.
