Rian Johnson talks directing ‘Looper,’ influences, and time travel [Exclusive]

From the Sundance-favorite Brick in 2005, to his delightful sophomore effort The Brothers Bloom, and even a few episodes of Breaking Bad, Rian Johnson has had an impressive debut as a director. This in no way changes with Looper, a high-concept, highly-entertaining and thought-provoking time travel action film that turns out to be one of the year’s best. We recently sat down with Johnson to discuss Looper, his influences, time travel, and much more.
