Let’s start the new year off right—with time travel. Director Rian Johnson has given us a sneak peek at the time machine that appears in his latest film, Looper. Check it out and tell us what you think!

Looper is a sci-fi thriller that stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis. The film takes place in the near future and centers on a group of hitmen called—you guessed it—loopers. Gordon-Levitt plays Joe, one of the killers who works for the mob and helps them “dispose” of bodies. In the future, the mob uses time travel to send victims to the past (about 30 years), where loopers wait and eventually kill them.
