Gordon-Levitt was made to resemble Willis by adding prosthetics to his nose and lips, realigning his eyebrows, lowering his ears, and having him wear green contact lenses.

Interesting article about Tsuji Kazuhiro, the make up artist for Looper. I never noticed now much they altered his ears.

Joe, the Looper and TDKR gang are nominated for a couple of Saturn Awards. These are not very prestigious, but it’s always nice to see genre flicks, which are traditionally ignored during the awards circuit, get some recognition.

Joe is nominated for Best Actor for Looper and for Best Supporting Actor for The Dark Knight Rises. Click here for the full list.

Also, how neat is it, that Joe gets to be in the sequel of the film, he watched so religiously to learn Bruce’s mannerisms? I hope they share a scene in Sin City 2.

Frankly, I think that a lot of it has to do with first impressions. The way we got to know each other was through this very vulnerable, pathetic sort of foil in Dode—the character I play in BRICK—and I feel like that sentiment has carried over to LOOPER. Kid was a foil for Joe. In a lot of ways, I think in our friendship I think I’m a foil for Joe in real life. We’re very close and we’re very different guys. He is a protagonist, this pure idealistic, very trusting guy when it comes to art, creativity and virtue, and I’m a cynical, scummy guy—a character actor [Laughs]. So I think Rian sees that, and that whether it’s conscious or not, that’s the appropriate place for us.
