One of the most anticipated Bruce Willis movies is finally nearing release. “Looper” is a time-traveling action thriller that stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the young Willis, and a new trailer is on its way.

In the meantime, though, Joe and director Rian Johnson have shot a vignette, in anticipation for the release of the first trailer, which will drop on April 12.

You can see it in full above.

Bruce Willis plays Joe, a hired gun in a world where time-traveling is possible but illegal, which means it's available only on the black market.

Whenever mobsters want to get rid of a potential threat, they send Joe back 30 years to kill that person and thus, completely write him or her off.

Time has come for the mobsters to close the loop on Joe as well, so they send him back in time to kill himself – the video has Joe explain why that would be impossible in real life.
