“Brick” Helmer Johnson Ready to Be Thrown for a “Loop”
Endgame Entertainment is teaming with Chinese co-producer DMG to make “Looper,” writer-director Rian Johnson’s time-travel action movie. Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt and Chinese actress Xu Qing are locked into the starring roles. By working with DMG, which boasts close working ties with the state-run China Film Group, Endgame plans to shoot part of “Looper” in China. “Looper”’s complicated plot involves a killer (Gordon-Levitt) who works for the mob of the future. He, along with other so-called Loopers, dispose of people sent from the future. When he recognizes one victim as his future self (Willis), he hesitates, letting the man escape. Ram Bergman and Lucas Smith are “Looper” producers, as are Endgame’s James Sternand and Doug Hansen.
