It made over $176 million at the international box office and made Johnson one of the most sought after directors working today.

Looper featured some Impressive facial prosthetics to make Gordon-Levitt look like Willis. "It was kind of an incredible transformation to see," Johnson told The Hollywood Reporter. "It kind of freaked Bruce out," Gordon Levitt added. "We knew we were never gonna make Joe look like a real young Bruce Willis," Johnson continued. "So what we did was pick a few key features and alter those."

Willis also spoke highly of the film, calling Looper the best work of his career. "It's better than anything I've ever done. … [director] Rian [Johnson] did an amazing thing," Willis told Esquire. "He conceived an original story. He wrote it, sold it, stuck with it, directed it, and finished it. That's just tough to do in this town. Someone always weasels into the process. That didn't happen here. And if he never did anything else except that Herculean effort, he'd have made it in the business. Amazing."

"It's more than an original story," Willis continued. "It's a story people are going to talk about, and see twice. And argue about. I was arguing with myself about the story when I read it the first time. That's all Rian Johnson, beginning to end. Great, great director."
