After having earned his indie credibility with the cult noir hit, Brick, and this fall's buzz film, The Brothers Bloom, Rian Johnson has been called up to the big leagues to reinvigorate another genre, Sci-Fi.
Johnson's next film will be Looper, a film set in a present-day world in which a group of hitmen are sent their victims from the future. Johnson will pair with his producing partner, Ram Bergman, and the two are eying a 2009 start date.
Good people making interesting movies is always fun to watch, so color us excited.
