LOOPER (The Pitch)
DIRECTOR RIAN JOHNSON's LOOPER PITCH
Director Rian Johnson has released a great pitch trailer he
made to help shop around his latest movie Looper. The pitch really shows his vision for the film
as it shows off just exactly what he planned to do.
Here's what Johnson had to say about the pitch...
This is a strange curiosity I thought might be interesting -
just after I finished the script for Looper but before we began preproduction I
asked Joe to record some voice-over, and with help from my friend Ronen Verbit
constructed this "fake trailer" using clips from other movies. This
is a fairly common thing to do when you're trying to get a movie off the
ground, but it was the first time I tried it. It was meant to show more some of
the film's tone, and to show how the odd concept could be presented in a clear
and compelling way in the marketing. Zach Johnson did the sketches. Note that
we hadn't begun the casting process yet, and the clips were chosen just based
on their visuals and not by who is in them.
The trailer contains footage from films like Seven,
Kalifornia, Star Trek, and a few other films. Check out the Pitch trailer below
and let us know what you think!
