Having been picked up for distribution by FilmDistrict at last month’s Cannes Film Festival, the third feature film from Rian Johnson, Looper, will be released by Sony’s TriStar Pictures division on September 28, 2012, presumably to give Johnson the time needed to edit the movie which recently finished filming as well as do whatever FX need to be done.
The movie stars Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon Levitt and it involves assassins who use a time travel element to send their victims back into the past.
So far, it’s only one of three movies already scheduled for September next year including Resident Evil: Retribution and the animated Hotel Transylvania.
