Looper

Interview: Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Dork Shelf talks to Don Jon writer, director, and star Joseph Gordon-Levitt about how he came up with the message for his debut feature, how much pornography he thought was appropriate to show, creating the film’s unique family dynamic, producing this film outside of a major studio, and how the casting of Scarlett Johnansson fit into his particular vision for the film.

Looper Review

Films like Looper come around so infrequently, and it’s doubtful that anyone could have seen into the future to know it would have turned out this great. It’s a gutsy and uncompromising genre film that will be hailed as a classic staple by many who see it.

Interview: Emily Blunt

We talk to Looper actress Emily Blunt about working within the action genre, the vision of director Rian Johnson, working with kids and accents, and her own thoughts on time travel.
