Rian Johnson Releases ‘Looper’ In-Theatre Commentary!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Rian Johnson announced yesterday the release of his in-theatre commentary for his film Looper. This is so freaking cool! It’s something that I have never heard of before, but Johnson noted in the release that he did the same for The Brothers Bloom. 

In any case, I know I’ll be seeing this one again now (this would be showing number three, but who’s counting). I can’t wait to listen, as I’m really interested in what Johnson has to say about the film. Johnson announced the commentary yesterday on the film’s Tumblr blog. It should be noted that this commentary is completely different from what will end up on the Blu-Ray release.

From the post:

I recorded a commentary track to be downloaded, put on an ipod and listened to in the theater as you’re watching Looper.  This is an odd thing I tried with Bloom, and have gotten a few requests for it again, so here it is.  It is totally different from the commentary track that will be on the Blu/DVD, a bit more technical and detailed.  Needless to say, this is NOT to be listened to on a first viewing, or before you’ve seen the film.  Also, please work it so that a glowing screening is never out of your pocket during the movie.

Listen to the introduction before heading to the theater, it has instructions.  And lemme know how it works.

If you’re interested, you can download the track here! What did you think of the film? Does this make you want to see it again?
