Director Rian Johnson on Looper’s True Meaning

"You have to have something bigger than time travel that’s worth asking an audience to sit in the dark for two hours."

Rian Johnson first cast Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the quirky 2005 film noir project Brick he made for less than $500,000. Back then the director and star were Hollywood up-and-comers—an indie director and a former child star. What a difference a few years makes.

TIME sat down with the 38-year-old director to talk casting calls, dystopian inspirations and his agonizing writing process.

Did you always know you wanted Joseph Gordon-Levitt as your leading man?

 

I was writing it for Joe. Largely just because we’ve stayed really good friends since we made Brick together, and I just wanted to work with my friend. I knew the part was going to require this big transformation and that’s something that Joe really loves doing, so for a lot of different reasons it made sense.

Then you cast Bruce Willis?

Bruce was like at the top of the list. I just looked at the list, and I was like, ‘oh my god, Bruce Willis.’ We said ‘let’s offer it to him but he’ll never say yes. But let’s try.’ We never thought he’d say yes.
