PRIMER Director Shane Carruth Joins Rian Johnson’s LOOPER

Well according to the tweet from @Loopermovie, the picture above is PRIMER director, Shane Carruth, working on director Rian Johnson’s LOOPER…along with this declaration:

If you haven’t seen his film PRIMER, run don’t walk.

I totally agree with that! But exactly what Carruth is doing on this film is unknown.

According to the pre-production synopsis:

Joe is a hitman who is employed by mobsters who live in the future and send people back in time for him to assassinate. This ruthless scheme ultimately puts Joe in grave danger when he shows up to do a hit and the person who has been sent back in time to to be murdered is himself, but thirty years older. Unable to pull the trigger, Joe must track down the person who wants him dead before his employers find out that he didn’t fulfill his end of the bargain.

LOOPER will star Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt and Paul Dano. The film is scheduled for a 2012 release.
