If you liked what you saw when the first teaser trailer for “Looper” came out, you're going to love this. Below is the trailer, complete with shot by shot explanations from none other than director Rian Johnson.

Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt, “Looper” is a time-traveling thriller that will see the two actors face each other in a life and death confrontation, even though they're basically the same person.

If that sounds a bit confusing, check out the clip, because Johnson wants to make sure everything is clear from the get-go.

In the same interview with MTV, the director also talks a bit about the makeup Joe had to wear to look like a younger Willis, and why Emily Blunt only makes a small cameo in the teaser, even though her role is a pretty big one.

“Looper” will be out in theaters later this year.
