The last time we got news on Rian Johnson's upcoming sci-fi project Looper, Joseph Gordon-Levitt was rumored to be in talks for the lead role, but nothing was confirmed. We don't know if contracts have gotten signed and things worked out, but Deadline Hollywood is now treating Gordon-Levitt's casting as fact, and has another name to add to the cast as well.

They're reporting from Cannes that Bruce Willis has signed on to play an older version of Gordon-Levitt's character, who plays a hit men put in charge of victims sent back from the future for their executions. You'd think this system would be foolproof, of course, but the presence of an older version of the character suggests there's a visit to the future in store. Gordon-Levitt and Willis aren't exactly doppelgangers or even a convincing father and son, but I'd definitely be intrigued to see how the two might work out playing the same character. Really, anything Willis does to delay Die Hard 5 is a good decision all around.
