What Movie Bloopers Looked Like in the 1930s Subtitles
Actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood always seem so sharp-tongued, composed and effortlessly cool. It's hard to imagine any of cinema's greatest stars, like Gary Cooper or Jean Harlow, tripping over their lines and screwing up a scene during shooting. The Film Archive recently shared a video that reveals the bloopers or breakdowns of the 1930s, which proves that the polish and sophistication sometimes gave way to mistakes. The video defines the gag reel as follows: A breakdown — when one or more people get 'tetched in the head' at a most opportune time — causing the director, the assistant director, the unit manager, the producer, etc., to lose their mental balance and their digestive organs fail to function."...Read More
Watch: 'Looper's Rian Johnson Made This Short Film About Ninjas When He Was in High School Subtitles
Yesterday we shared some cool first films from Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantino that were never completed, and to keep that theme alive today we've got a very early short from Looper director Rian Johnson. It's rare that we get to watch the high school productions of some of our favorite filmmakers, but 1990 isn't too far away and so here we have Johnson's Ninja Ko: Master of Origami to go along with a much more current chat with Johnson via a Harvard-Westlake interview conducted by Jason Reitman we’d have loved to sit in on that conversation… Ninja Ko is about what you’d expect from a high school shot-on-video movie – it’s not deep and the image quality is the pits, but Johnson’s direction is surprisingly...Read More
These VFX Breakdowns of 'Flight' and 'Looper' Will Make You Wonder if Anything Is Real Anymore Subtitles
Earlier today Variety writer David S. Cohen wrote an interesting piece outlining the current state of the visual effects industry, and how the global rise of smaller VFX companies capable of doing high-end, blockbuster-worthy work has upset traditional studio business models. Basically, the VFX game no longer belongs strictly to titans like Industrial Light & Magic, and that's thrown the whole sector into disarray. But we're not here to talk supply and demand financial models and studio politics hit Variety for that discussion. We're here for the fun stuff. And in the case of Atomic Fiction, the mind-blowing stuff. Atomic Fiction is a relatively new VFX studio with a hand in some of last year's finest effects-driven sequences. It built the vehicles...Read More
Giveaway: Double Up on Joseph Gordon-Levitt with 'Premium Rush' and 'Looper' on Blu-ray Subtitles
The year 2012 was a great for Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He was in that one movie with the man who thinks he's a bat and fights crime. And later he was also in a movie about an old president directed by some Spielberg guy. But neither of those bring us here today. That honor belongs to the movies he starred in between The Dark Knight Rises and Lincoln: Premium Rush aka JGL's bike messenger thriller and Looper aka JGL's time travel insta-classic. Both are now available on Blu-ray, but perhaps you've been too busy over the holidays to find time to go pick them up. Don't worry, we've got you covered with a complimentary high-definition copy of each. All you need to do is live in the U.S. and leave a comment before 1/4/12 on this post proclaiming your...Read More
Looper Subtitles
Rated: R. A hired gun from the future discovers that his greatest adversary is himself in this twisting sci-fi mindbender starring Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and directed by Rian Johnson Brick, The Brothers Bloom. In the year 2047 time travel has yet to be invented. Thirty years later, however, it has. Though immediately outlawed, time-travel technology is quickly appropriated by the mob, and used to cleanly dispose of anyone deemed a threat. The process is simple: When the mob wants someone to disappear, they simply send them back to the year 2047, where an assassin known as a looper quickly carries out the hit, and disposes of the body. Joe Simmons Gordon-Levitt is one of the most respected loopers around. Each kill earns him a big payday, and hes got big plans to retire to France. Then, one day, as Joe patiently awaits the appearance of his next target near the edge of a remote corn field, hes shocked to come face-to-face with his future self Bruce Willis. When the younger Joe hesitates, the older Joe makes a daring escape. Now, in order to avoid the wrath of his underworld boss Jeff Daniels, young Joe must close the loop and kill his older counterpart. Meanwhile, the revelation that a powerful crime boss in the future has set the underworld ablaze pits the two Joes on a violent collision course, with the fate of a devoted mother Emily Blunt and her young son hanging in the balance. Paul Dano and Piper Perabo co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Read Rian Johnson's Four-Page 'Looper' Story Treatment from 2002. Subtitles
Rian Johnson’s Looper was one of the more interesting films of 2012, but it had been kicking around in the filmmaker’s brain for nearly a decade before it hit theaters. The time-travel tale, which finds Joseph Gordon-Levitt tasked with killing his future self played by Bruce Willis, first came into existence way back in 2002. Johnson has now given fans something of an early holiday gift by releasing the original four-page treatment for the film that he wrote way back in the early days of George W. Bush’s first presidency. He explains a bit about how it came to be and what he intended in a short preface. “At the time I intended to film it, just with a video camera and a few friends, but we never did and it sat in a drawer for seven years. It’s...Read More

'Looper's Noah Segan (aka Kid Blue) Explains What It's Really Like As a Working Actor Subtitles
Hooray for Hollywood, the land of dreams where any office boy or young mechanic can be a panic. While this romantic notion is more than a little archaic, as a culture, we still idolize movie stars. We assume their lives come ready-made with riches and acclaim, as if seeing their names in lights is still a fail-safe investment in their own fiscal security. This is a myth. While waiting to interview Looper director Rian Johnson during Fantastic Fest, a chance encounter challenged even my notions of what it meant to be a movie star. Sitting there, in the garish luxury of the Four Seasons hotel lobby, I met a rather lost-looking young man with whom I struck up a conversation. He was passionate and sharp, and it took a good five minutes before I recognized him as Noah Segan, the actor...Read More

This 'Looper' Proof-of-Concept Video Is All Kinds of Awesome Subtitles
If you haven’t had your fill of Rian Johnson’s super-cool sci-fi flick Looper yet and we haven’t – we’re still talking about it on a daily basis, then you’ll certainly want to check out this new video for the film. Billed as a “proof of concept” piece, Rian Johnson created this fake trailer with animation, clips from other films, and voice-over narration for Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character. The result is really quite impressive – if we had seen this before we knew what Looper was, we’d have geeked out bigtime. The brief clip lays out the basic gist of the movie – in the future, criminal organizations kidnap those they want to eliminate and send them back in time where an assassin is waiting to kill them...Read More

Is 'Looper' Great Art or Great Entertainment? Subtitles
Welcome to The Last Sci-fi Blog, a column dedicated to science fiction on film. Looper, Prometheus and Art vs. Entertainment When Looper opened two weeks ago, the praise was practically universal. Look at that 93% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Look at the countless cries of Instant classic! Look at the numerous message board threads discussing and decoding the film, searching for whatever secrets lurk underneath the surface. In a year filled with mostly disappointing mainstream releases, Looper came along and shook things up, filling the Great Modern Science-Fiction Movie slot that everyone thought Prometheus was going to fill. I'm not going to say that Looper is bad movie, mainly because it isn't it's actually rather tremendous, but I will...Read More

The Craziest Fantastic Fest Moments, Volume 2 Subtitles
The party is over see #1, and so is Fantastic Fest. I've averaged four films a day and it's nice to take a break from all of this. Maybe I'll see Looper again. At this point, you all know how great Fantastic Fest is thanks to our vast coverage. There hasn't been a strong presence of horror films this year at the festival, and that's fine by me.

Rian Johnson Talks All Things 'Looper' in New Video Interview Subtitles
We’re just days away from the highly anticipated debut of Rian Johnson’s sci-fi film Looper – and to get you ready for the film's release this Friday, we’re sharing this recent video interview with the filmmaker. Edward Douglas at ComingSoon.net had a chance to sit down and chat with Johnson about the upcoming feature – a sci-fi noir flick that finds Joseph Gordon-Levitt tasked with performing a hit on the future version of himself played by Bruce Willis. Early buzz for the film has been phenomenal, and Douglas got Johnson to open up about how the film was conceived, how he came to work with production designer Ed Verreux of Raiders of the Lost Ark fame and more. It’s interesting to hear Johnson talk about how Looper was originally...Read More
Watch All the Best Fantastic Fest Bumpers: 'Looper,' 'Back to the Future' and Cats Subtitles
In case the welcome break in tweets-sharing Instagram photos of food-truck cuisine or complaining Austinites trying to cope with rain didn't give it away, the city's Fantastic Fest is happening right now. Amongst the many celebrations at the Texas genre geek's gathering is Fantastic Fest's bumper contest, where filmmakers — and anyone with a camera — edit together entertaining 30-second video nibbles that play before every screening during the festival. They're usually bizarre, humorous and representative of the uniqueness of the event. Each clip always ends the same way: That's fantastic! Badass Digest has announced the top six bumpers from this year's fest. The theme for this year's contest was time travel, and filmmakers...Read More
What Movie Were You Most Surprised to Enjoy? Subtitles
This is typically the time of year when good movies are hard to find. At the multiplex, that is. Maybe there are normally some early awards-season hopefuls dropped into limited release, but stuff for the popcorn crowd tends to be... well, House at the End of the Street is a good example. But other than that widely panned thriller, we're seeing some abnormally terrific fare for the mainstream audiences this fall. While I haven't seen Looper yet, the response has almost been Christopher Nolan-level positive in the combination of geek and critical love. If I do end up one of the Looper lovers, that won't be very surprising, because from what I'm hearing I expect it to be at least very good. Plus, it's written and directed by a filmmaker not known for bad...Read More
