Looper was written and directed. After Johnson released in 2008, he re-teamed with producer, who produced Johnson's previous two films, with the goal of starting production of Looper in 2009. In May 2010, was cast in one of the lead roles, which he would play after completing. Later in the month, was also cast. In the following October, joined Gordon-Levitt and Willis. Noah Segan, Jeff Daniels, and Piper Perabo were cast in January 2011.
Filming began in on January 24, 2011. Makeup artist Kazuhiro Tsuji created the prosthetics that Gordon-Levitt wore in the film so that he would physically resemble Willis. The film's score was composed by, Rian Johnson's cousin. Talking about Looper and, Rian Johnson said: Even though it's a time-travel movie, the pleasure of it doesn't come from the mass of time travel. It's not a film like, for instance, where the big part of the enjoyment is kind of working out all the intricacies of it.
For Looper, I very much wanted it to be a more character-based movie that is more about how these characters dealt with the situation time travel has brought about. So the biggest challenge was figuring out how to not spend the whole movie explaining the rules and figure out how to put it out there in a way that made sense on some intuitive level for the audience; then get past it and deal with the real meat of the story. Other influences cited by Rian Johnson include, and. Release Looper premiered on September 6, 2012, at the opening night of the. The film was then released theatrically in the United States on September 28, 2012 by, who obtained the domestic rights from production company Endgame Entertainment at the 2011.
In turn, FilmDistrict chose to release the film with. The Chinese release of the film reintegrates a substantial number of scenes set in Shanghai. The move was requested by Chinese production company in order to further appeal to Chinese audiences. Several of these scenes were shortened or cut for the American release. Johnson released a free audio commentary on to be downloaded and listened to during the film, with the warning: 'Needless to say, this is NOT to be listened to on a first viewing, or before you've seen the film.'

Critical response On, the film has a rating of 93% based on 250 reviews, with an average rating of 8.1/10.

On the film has a score of 84 out of 100, based on 44 critics, indicating 'universal acclaim'.
Audiences polled by the market research firm gave the film a B+ grade on average. James Mottram of gave Looper 5 stars out of 5, concluding that it was 'the best sci-fi movie since.
The best time-travel yarn since. And one of the best films of 2012.' Todd McCarthy of gave the film a positive review, calling it 'an engaging, neatly worked-out time-travel sci-fi thriller', but also criticizing the effects involved in making Gordon-Levitt resemble Willis: 'At first, the effect is a bit odd, and you can't quite put your finger on what's off; then it feels downright weird to be looking at a version of Gordon-Levitt who is no longer the actor you've known for a few years now.' Peter Debruge of also gave the film a positive review, writing that writer-director Johnson's 'grandly conceived, impressively mounted third feature shows a giddy, geeky interest in science-fiction, then forces it into the back seat and lets the multidimensional characters drive. In a genre infamous for loose ends, this thinking man's thriller marshals action, romance and a dose of very dark comedy toward a stunning payoff.' Of magazine gave Looper 5 stars out of 5, writing, 'Intelligent science-fiction sometimes seems an endangered species—too much physics and there's a risk of creating something cold and remote, too many explosions and get lost in the multiplex. Looper isn't perfect, but it pulls off the full Wizard Of Oz: it has a brain, courage and a heart.'
Noel Murray of gave the film an A− grade, writing, ' Looper is a remarkable feat of imagination and execution, entertaining from start to finish, even as it asks the audience to contemplate how and why humanity keeps making the same rotten mistakes.' Kenneth Turan of the gave the film a positive review, writing, ' Looper is way inventive but it wears its creativity lightly, like it's no big deal.
This is a highflying, super-stylish science-fiction thriller that brings a fresh approach to mind-bending genre material. We're not always sure where this time-travel film is going, but we wouldn't dream of abandoning the ride.' Claudia Puig of gave the film 3.5 stars out of 4, writing, ' Looper 's heady blend of time travel, gritty action and a jot of romance is such a thrilling and cerebral mind-bender that it will likely have moviegoers gathering outside the theater afterward to hash out details of its intricately constructed universe. Not that that's a bad thing.' Peter Travers of also gave the film 3.5 stars out of 4, praising the performances of Willis and Gordon-Levitt and concluding, 'Lacing tremendously exciting action with touching gravity, Looper hits you like a shot in the heart.' Of the also gave the film 3.5 stars out of 4, praising its screenplay, stating ' Looper, a smart and tricky sci-fi story, sidesteps the by embracing them.
Most time travel movies run into trouble in the final scenes, when impossibilities pile up one upon another. This film leads to a startling conclusion that wipes out the story's so neatly it's as if it never happened.' Lisa Schwarzbaum of gave the film a B+ grade, writing, 'The time swivels in Looper evoke some of 's fancy temporal tricks (some of which, of course, also involved Gordon-Levitt straddling multiple time zones at once).

But it's the glimpses of -like societal dystopia that give the movie its real weight'. Keith Staskiewicz, also writing for Entertainment Weekly (reviewing the DVD) and also giving a 'B+', said, 'The film's premise is markedly inventive, and writer-director Rian Johnson spends a lot of time making his universe seem lived-in and believable, but he's not just concerned with whiz-bang what-ifs. The showdown of selves illuminates just how little Gordon-Levitt's character has changed over the intervening years, stuck as he is in a feedback loop of drug use and violence despite his pipe dream of moving to Europe.
The retro trench coats and firearms also suggest a sort of eternal recurrence, and as Looper's plot gets more complex, its central question simplifies: If we can't fix our mistakes, can we at least make sure we don't repeat the same ones over and over again?' Richard Corliss of magazine gave the film a positive review, calling Looper a 'hybrid, mashing and into a species of pulp science fiction' and also writing, 'A fanciful film with the patina of hyper-realism, Looper is well served by actors who behave not as if they were dropped carelessly into the future but spent their whole desperate lives there.' Dana Stevens of gave the film a mixed review, writing, ' Looper felt to me like a maddening near-miss: It posits an impossible but fascinating-to-imagine relationship – a face-to-face encounter between one's present and future self, in which each self must account for its betrayal of the other – and then throws away nearly all the dramatic potential that relationship offers.'
