Looking forward to 2012 and what it offers cinema-wise, and a few films jump out at you. Very few are quite as exciting as the upcoming Rian Johnson film, Looper.

Now, while we aren’t really all that sure as what we should expect visually, we do know a bunch about this project. Following the story of a group of hitmen who get their orders from the future and travel back in time to make their hits, the Looper stars Bruce Willis and is slated to hit on September 28, 2012. And now, we finally know how our leads will be traveling back in time.

Thanks to the Looper Tumblr page, we have our first photo of the film’s time machine, and it looks, good. One hell of a behemoth of a machine, the thing looks far more realistic than many time machines we see in our sci-fi films, and that’s absolutely fantastic. As a huge fan of Johnson and each of his projects, this is easily one of my most anticipated films of 2012.
