Last summer, we brought you the news when director Rian Johnson‘s forthcoming sci-fi/action film Looper, starring Bruce Willis (Red), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (The Dark Knight Rises), Emily Blunt (The Five-Year Engagement), Jeff Daniels (Howl), Piper Perabo (Covert Affairs), Noah Segan (All About Evil) and Paul Dano (For Ellen, Cowboys & Aliens) had finally been given a release date of September 28th, 2012.

Now, via the film’s Tumblr site, Johnson has released a cool picture of himself sitting in the time machine used in the film, which involves hitmen whose victims are sent back in time to be executed. The Loopers then knock them off in the present, so there is no trace of the crime in the future. Check it out below!

Looper is slated to hit theaters on September 28th, 2012.
